If you, my friend, think that a housewarming party involves a lot of planning and organizing then yes it does but when all these things are done in the right way, actually throwing one turns into a lot of fun.
Instead of making your housewarming party an over-budget event, try turning it into a project that you will enjoy completing.

Now, don’t get scared. This is what I am here to help you with. In this article, we will talk about all the hacks and tips for throwing a housewarming party without furniture.
It is especially for those people who have not yet moved into their new home or have decided to unpack later in order to do less cleaning after the party.
Should you throw a housewarming with no furniture
This is a decisive question that needs to be answered before you even start planning your housewarming party. Is it going to be with or without furniture?
I can help you out by giving you some scenarios where a housewarming party without furniture would seem more appropriate. Although there is no compulsion, this is entirely your choice.
- Let’s just say that you have bought a new home but your guest list is way more than the amount of space you have for throwing a housewarming party. In this case, go for the option of planning a housewarming with no furniture. In this way, you will be able to accommodate everyone on your guest list without any problem.
- What if you want to throw a housewarming party without moving into your new home? Well, you won’t be having any furniture in your new house yet and it’s better to leave it that way. Plan a party with absolutely no furniture. Invite more people and I am sure it will still be a blast. This might sound a bit hectic or more hard-working to you but trust me, it’s not as hard as it sounds. On the other hand, throwing a housewarming party before moving in is going trendy nowadays. This means that once the party is over, you will have all the time in the world for decorating your new house.
- In case you plan to replace all your old furniture with a new one before moving into your recently bought house, throwing a housewarming party without furniture would be an extremely nice idea. I can completely understand if you have an image of redecorating your whole house with brand new furniture and you need a lot of time in doing so. It’s not selfish, it’s just how things are done with fewer resources.
When not to throw a housewarming party with no furniture
Even though throwing a housewarming party with absolutely no furniture seems like a good opportunity for a very unique and creative gathering, it might not just be for everyone. Let me take you through some of the scenarios where it will not be a good idea to host a party without furniture.
- If you are in your 20’s or early 30’s, you can easily throw a housewarming party with no furniture but beyond that age, it would not seem age-appropriate for your guests. Answer me this. Have you ever seen people in their 40’s having a great time sitting on the floor or on some uncomfortable furniture. I don’t think so. Hence, this might not be a really good idea for you.
- Please check your guest list and make sure that there is no one with a health condition that will make it difficult for them to stand for a long time or to sit on the floor. If your guest list has no such person, feel free to throw a housewarming with no furniture but if it does, this might not be a very good idea for you.
