Is living in a Mass Avenue Indianapolis apartment part of your next great adventure? If you’ve just moved, you might be looking forward to hosting a housewarming party in your new city home. Here are some tips for hosting a respectful, yet memorable get-together that showcases your city life.
Space Optimization
If you’ve just moved in, it shouldn’t be too challenging to maximize your available space, but if you find the need to declutter and organize before inviting guests into your home, consider investing in space-saving furniture like drop leaf or expandable dining tables and storage furniture. Create different seating areas within your living space to accommodate various activities, such as dining, conversation, or watching movies.
Investing in multifunctional furniture, like sofa beds, easily converts your living room into a guest room. Use ottomans or poufs as extra seating that can double as coffee tables or footrests.
Guest List and Invitations
Be selective with your guest list. Invite a manageable number of people for your apartment’s size to ensure everyone is comfortable. Consider using digital invitations and RSVPs to keep track of your guest count and ensure you don't overcrowd your apartment.
Noise Management
Be mindful of noise levels, and inform your neighbors in advance about your gathering. Make sure you understand your building’s policy on quiet hours. Using rugs and curtains can help absorb sound and reduce echoes within your apartment.
Indianapolis-Themed Decor
Embrace all that is Indianapolis by decorating your apartment with city-inspired decor, such as the White River, the Indianapolis skyline, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, or historic areas of Massachusetts Avenue and downtown Indy. Incorporate local elements, like artwork from local artists or souvenirs from nearby destinations.
Local Cuisine
Order or prepare dishes that represent the culinary diversity of your city. Highlight local favorites, street food, or international cuisine that's readily available in your area. Indianapolis is known for its pork tenderloin and St. Elmo’s shrimp cocktail. If you’re not making your own food or hosting a potluck, there are plenty of top-rated restaurants right on Mass Ave. that offer catering, such as The Tap.
Transportation and Parking
Provide clear instructions on parking options or public transportation routes to make it easier for your guests to reach your apartment. You’ll find plenty of parking options nearby, as well as a bike hub. The Pointe Apartments, Mass Ave Indianapolis are also near IndyGo stops, so your downtown guests can come by without having to drive.
Guest Comforts
If your guests are staying overnight, make sure to take inventory of essentials like clean towels, extra blankets, and a designated space to store their belongings. If your apartment has walk-in closets like The Pointe on Mass, you’ll have extra space to store items for your guests. Additionally, the open-concept floor plans allow you to create smaller spaces within your living area for a reading nook, crafting or game table, or a smaller conversational area for your guests to enjoy.
Leave a Lasting Impression
Send your guests home with a small city-themed souvenir or a personalized thank-you note to show appreciation for their visit. Silver In the City and Global Gifts are both on Mass Avenue just 0.1 miles from The Pointe, and provide many unique options for thoughtful gifts.
