Party Tips:

1. Make sure to plan your party after you've given yourself some time to get settled. You don't want to stress out about unpacking or having your house in disarray. And remember, no need to go crazy with the decorations - you just moved in! Paper goods and party ware will do just the trick for serving up your tasty menu.

2. Stay away from the sangria and drinks that stain - you don't want to ruin your new carpeting at the first party!

3. Keep all of the food on individual trays so guests can grab little bites as they please. Since you'll likely be giving house tours, you might want to consider having food in multiple rooms. Always keep plates and napkins near the food!
