Questions people ask
What is a polite “no gifts” line for a housewarming?
Try “Your blessings are all we need for our new home.” It is gentle and widely understood.
How early should I send a housewarming invitation?
Two to three weeks ahead is usual. If the date depends on a muhurat that has just been fixed, a week is acceptable — send it the same day you decide.
