Housewarming invitations, sent by text.

Why a link works better than a group chat here

Housewarmings tend to get planned fast and casually — you've just moved, you want people to see the place, and you don't want to type your new address into fifteen separate texts (or worse, misremember the apartment number when someone asks). A single link keeps your address, parking notes, and timing in one place, with a map link built in and a running headcount so you know roughly how much food and seating to plan for.

What to put in a housewarming invite

• The exact address — include unit/apartment number and any buzzer or parking instructions in the message field.
• A loose time window — housewarmings are often "drop by between 4 and 8" rather than a fixed start, which you can note in the message.
• Whether it's a gift-free zone — a lot of hosts explicitly say "no gifts, just come say hi," which is worth spelling out if that's the vibe.
• Any house rules — shoes off, parking is street-only, bring your own drink — small details that save you repeating yourself at the door.

Themes for a new place

A photo of the place, right on the invite

You can upload a photo as the invitation background — a shot of the new living room or the front door works well here, so guests get a preview before they even arrive.
