House warmings are an old tradition to clear the house of cold, or bad energy and ghosts. The crowd and the celebration notifies the spirits that a new family has now claimed the house and that they have to move on.

How about this...When you buy a house or move into a new place, its bare, empty and rather impersonal. Guests (usually your close friends and family) of house warmings usually bring gifts either of things that you will need or things to make you more comfortable in your new home, giving it a more personal, lived in look and feel by default, warming it up!

i am not too clear on the question. but i am very interted on the subject. yes, i find it very difficult to invite people
over -- despite the size of the house -- one of the many reasons -- lots of cleaning to do before and after -- and people look into your personal stuff, be it computer, books and kitchen stuff....I would love to learn from professionals like you "how to" -- and if there is a quick way to invite...and not be bothered by upteen details.

It's lame I know. I guess it is to get the house used to having people in it.

so people will help with the extras like curtains, plants and other useless items that you forget to buy.
