Housewarming Party Planning Template for Roommates

Why a Housewarming Matters

A housewarming is your chance to christen the space, meet neighbors, and create shared memories with your roommates. It also sets the tone for how you'll entertain going forward.

Planning Timeline

Start 3-4 weeks out. Use this template to assign tasks: invitations, food, drinks, decorations, music, and cleanup. Give everyone ownership of at least one area.

Budget Per Roommate

Set a per-person budget upfront. Include food, drinks, decorations, and a small contingency. Track expenses in HomeCo so there are no surprises when it's time to settle.

Guest List Management

Agree on a maximum guest count based on your space. Each roommate gets a share of the invite list. Avoid the trap of one person inviting 30 people to a flat that holds 15.

Day-Of Checklist

Assign cleanup roles before the party starts. Everyone knows their post-party job, so nobody's stuck doing everything alone the next morning.
