Griha Pravesh with a difference

When creating a housewarming party invitation, modern couples are also adding the gift registry on the invite.

Include your gift registry on the housewarming invitation. If you would like gifts for your housewarming but have a particular taste, it is best to coordinate with your guests about the gift registry.

For the celebration, make it clear what guests are expected to bring. If you would like the guest to bring snacks, or beverages to your housewarming, don’t assume that they will. Instead, create a cute sentence asking them to bring a small culinary contribution to the party.
