DH and I bought a new house on May 22nd (whoohoo!!!). We originally scheduled an Open House for July 12th but we are getting a lot of declines from VIPs (my parents, sister/BIL and some very good friends).
We are going to reschedule it since a good 1/2 of our guest list won't be able to make it.
We are also getting ready to start a kitchen remodel that will include new flooring, new counter tops/back splash and either re-facing or replacing the cabinets. The remodel is scheduled to take 6-8 weeks and and we will be discussing the start date with our contractor tomorrow when we go over his quote in person.
My research found that house warming or open house parties are usually thrown within the first 3 months of moving in. Should we try to squeeze our open house in before the remodel starts or would we be okay to wait until after the kitchen is done and AW both the new house and new kitchen at the same time? Waiting for after the remodel will most likely put us into month 4 or 5 of being in the house...
