How to Entertain Guests at Housewarming Gatherings
Entertain guests at a housewarming like you would at any house gathering, but with one additional step. Show them your new home, then let them mingle. Provide several different areas for entertainment and conversation to flourish. Allow the guest to meet others he may not know, or introduce the shy person to one who shares her interests. Keep children occupied and the food flowing, and before you know it you will be saying good-bye to the last guest and wondering where the time went. Does this Spark an idea?
