Housewarming Set: 3 Print Picks for the New Home Party
A housewarming is not one printed piece, it is three moments that need one. Something that gets people to commit a Saturday, something that tells them they found the right house, and something they carry home. These three picks cover all of it without a single trip to a party store.
The housewarming set is three printed pieces that work in sequence. Housewarming party invitations go out three weeks ahead and hold the date on the fridge. A 2 sided blockout banner goes up the morning of so drivers coming from either direction find the address. A wine bottle shaped wine gift set goes home with guests as the favor and covers the neighbor thank yous. Order all three together and the colors, stocks and delivery dates stay in step.
The picks
Invitations, a banner and a wine gift set, from $15.00
Start here. These are the three picks that carry a housewarming from the first invitation to the last goodbye. Configure each one for your guest count and the price updates as you go, so you can see the whole party before you commit to any of it.
Design and print help
One look from the invitation to the front of the house
The set only works if every piece looks like it came from the same house. These tools keep the type, the color and the house number consistent from the invitation on the fridge to the banner on the porch.
How they work together
Print in the order the party unfolds
Each piece owns a stage of the day, and they do not overlap. One holds the date weeks out, one solves the address on the morning of, and one sends people home with something in hand.
Mail the invitation early enough that people can trade a Saturday for it. A printed card on the fridge outlives any group chat message.
Hang the banner where the street sees it. On a new block nobody knows your number yet, so the sign is the address.
Hand out the gift sets at the door. The favor turns a two hour visit into a reason for the neighbors to knock again next month.
1. Housewarming party invitations: the piece that gets people to say yes
A group chat invitation gets read once and buried by lunch. A printed housewarming invitation lands on a counter, gets moved to the fridge, and sits at eye level for three weeks reminding someone of your address every time they reach for the milk. That is the entire job, and paper does it better than a screen.
Keep the front simple: the words housewarming, the date, and your house number set big enough to read across a kitchen. Put parking notes, the nearest cross street and whether to bring anything on the back, where they belong. If you want the house number in foil, the foil file setup guide shows how to build the spot layer so it prints clean, and custom stationery printing covers matching the envelope and thank you notes to the same family.
If the move date is still shifting, send a short save the date first and keep the full invitation for when the keys are actually in hand. There are seven save the date ideas worth stealing for it.
2. Wine bottle shaped wine gift set: the favor guests carry home
Every housewarming has the same awkward last ten minutes, where people linger by the door and nobody knows how to leave. A small gift handed over solves it. The wine bottle shape reads as a present before anyone opens it, which is why it works as a favor on the way out and as the thank you for the neighbor who let the movers block their driveway.
Print the set with your house number, the date, and one line that sounds like you rather than like a card shop. Names of the street, the year you moved in, a joke about the stairs: specifics are what make people keep it. Match the type and color to the invitation so the two pieces obviously belong together, the same way a branded stationery set holds a look across different sizes.
Order a few more than your guest count. There is always a late arrival, a plus one nobody mentioned, and a neighbor you decide on the spot deserves one.
3. 2 sided blockout banners: the sign that finds your front door
On a street nobody has driven before, house numbers are small, hedges are tall, and the mailbox may still carry the previous owner name. A banner across the porch rail or between two posts ends the circling. Because this one is double sided with a blockout layer in the middle, the message reads from both directions of traffic and neither side ghosts through the other.
Print the message short: two or three words and the house number, sized so a driver reads it at fifteen miles an hour without slowing down. Grommets on all four corners give you options for a rail, a fence or a garage face. If the house sits back from the road, a feather flag at the driveway is the better first marker, and the retractable banner stand setup covers the tidy indoor version for the entry hall.
Hang it the morning of and take it down that night, and it stays crisp enough to reuse for the next block party or graduation at the same address. If the party spills into the yard, the event tent setup guide is worth ten minutes before the first guest parks.

Wally explains the set
Three pieces, one house, printed to open the door
Wally thinks of a housewarming the way a mail carrier does: the invitation is the piece that gets remembered because it sits on the fridge, the banner is the piece that gets found because it faces both ways down the street, and the gift set is the piece that gets kept. Print all three from one place and they share the same color, the same house number and the same delivery week. Miss one and a guest is either late, lost, or empty handed.

Common Questions
Common questions about the housewarming print set
What is in the housewarming print set?
It is a curated set of three printed pieces that cover a housewarming from first invite to last goodbye. Housewarming party invitations bring people to the door, a double sided blockout banner marks the house from the street so nobody circles the block, and a wine bottle shaped wine gift set doubles as the favor guests carry home. Each one is quoted on its own product page.
When should I send housewarming invitations?
Mail them three weeks out for a weekend party and four weeks out if guests are driving in or need a hotel. That window is long enough for people to move plans around and short enough that the date still feels near. Send a short reminder message five days before, and keep the printed card as the piece with the address, the parking note and the start time on it.
Do I really need a banner for a house party?
You need one more than you think. New addresses are the hardest to find: the numbers are small, the mailbox may still carry the old name, and half your guests have never driven the street. A double sided blockout banner reads from both directions of traffic, so a driver coming either way sees it. It also reads as celebration rather than instruction, which sets the tone before anyone parks.
How do I keep the three pieces looking like one set?
Repeat three things on every piece. First, one typeface for the headline text, used at the same weight. Second, two colors and no more, one dominant and one accent. Third, a single visual anchor such as the house number, a line drawing of the front door, or a key motif. When the invitation, the gift tag and the banner all carry those three signals, guests read them as one thing rather than three separate errands.
What paper should housewarming invitations be printed on?
Pick a stock heavy enough to stand up on a shelf, because that is where housewarming invitations end up. A thicker cover weight holds a crease, survives a month on the fridge, and feels like an occasion when it comes out of the envelope. If you plan to add foil to the house number or a monogram, choose an uncoated or matte finish so the foil has something to contrast against. Order free samples first if you are undecided.
How much does the full housewarming set cost to print?
There is no set price. Each piece is quoted on its product page and moves with quantity, size and stock, so the total depends on your guest count more than anything else. Housewarming party invitations start at $19.77 for 25 on 14pt gloss cover, the wine bottle shaped wine gift set at $15.00, and 2 sided blockout banners at $108.75. Configure each one and the calculator shows the real number before you add it to the cart.
Can I reuse these pieces after the housewarming?
Two of the three, easily. Keep the banner design generic enough and it works again for a graduation, a block party or a summer cookout at the same address. The gift sets keep for birthdays and holiday thank yous. Only the invitation is tied to one date, which is exactly why it is worth printing well.
