Housewarming

[SuitedAndBootedd]

Friend A is moving into her first house with her DP (rented). She wants to throw a housewarming party when moved in. She doesn't expect any gifts just wants to celebrate her moving in with DP.

Friend B says housewarmings for rented houses don't count, only bought houses.

Friend C thinks housewarmings for rented houses are nice in cases like her first moving in with DP and would probably buy a small gift anyway.

Who is BU?

If you told Friend B that it was just a party in your new house, would she refuse to come on the grounds that she might suspect it was actually a housewarming that you were trying to slip past her?

It's a party in a new house. There are, unfortunately, more and more of us about who are never going to have a hope of owning our own homes. Should we forever be denied the joy of a housewarming party? Or are they only for those with money?

Don't invite 'Friend' B. And have a wonderful life in your new home.

Ikea is your friend for pots, in fact, ikea is perfect for everything 😍

Friend B is a nutter. A housewarming is a party in a new house, she can get fucked.

Friend A should have the house warming party. It's a new house whether it's rented or owned.

Friend C is more than welcome and doesn't even have to buy a gift, it's not required.

Friend B should stop being a twat and pick something off her Netflix list to watch because she wouldn't be invited.

I'm in the "any excuse for a party" camp anyway - this doesn't even fall into that territory! Party away and don't invite twatty friend B.

Friend B's opinion is probably one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard.

Have your housewarming party it and don't invite 'Friend' B.

Have a great party!!

Well the people of Mumsnet can come in friend Bs place

Not if you're called Abigail, Gotta

That's the point

Has Friend B bought their house and thinks they are better than everyone else or just a shit friend trying to take the shine of Friend A's excitement about moving into her new home?

Housewarming is for any move. Bot just first or for buying only. How ridiculous.

I'd tell friend b to stop pissing on your parade and she's no longer welcome to celebrate your lovely housewarming. Congratulations, I've moved twice as an adult (never again! Hate moving!)

It's a huge achievement and really exciting to move in with the person you love.

Enjoy your party! Make sure there's plenty of drink and nibbles- you can never have too many nibbles!

Wait a minute... so friend A wants to throw everyone a party and then people start bitching about the reason why???? I'd dump some of these "friends" who can't be happy for someone else.

To me a housewarming is to invite your new neighbours as much as your existing friends. Are you ?

Housewarming for rented houses don't count?

How silly. Anyway who cares, a party is a party. Birthday, new job, Halloween, summer, Christmas, New Years, whatever!

Friend B is a misery guts! Have your party. She can always stay at home if she's not bothered.

thats just horrible, i hope that they throw the party and they dont invite her.
who needs people around like that?
