Are housewarming parties only if you buy?
So we're getting this AWESOME flat in the city. Naturally I want to throw a party and suggested having a housewarming party! As we're all talking in a group, I overheard one girlfriend ask smirkingly, "Why would you have a housewarming party if you didn't even buy that place?"
I wasn't planning on setting up a registry like she did with her housewarming party (which comes across as tacky, I think), but just wanted to have a gathering to create new memories and of course show off new apt. But now we feel so offended and embarassed about her comments.
Is it wrong to have a housewarming party if we're renting?

Pro PhotosI could go get the EPost to double check but then I take the chance on finding out that every friend I've ever had here was rude & tacky for having one.
Have your party, a new apartment is a great reason!
I have been to a ton of housewarming parties at rented apartments. So many people in NYC rent - it doesn't make it any less your home. Have your party and congrats on the new place!
