[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I didn't know someone well enough that they were aware that I didn't drink or serve alcohol for religious reasons, I probably wouldn't invite them to my housewarming in the first instance. [/quote]

I would do exactly as the Jewish poster above did regarding her kosher home. Her wording was clear and polite and won't leave anyone in doubt about what (not) to do. And then you won't have to worry about this [b]when they come over next time[/b]. Since many of these people are neighbors, hopefully you will enjoy each other's company and be seeing lots of them.

Best wishes, and congratulations on your new home.[/quote]

This. Presumably the housewarming party is the first in a long line of invitations to visit, or else why would you invite them to your housewarming party? Best to establish the norm now, to avoid awkwardness on the next visit. (and to weed out all the @ssholes who don't want to be friends with you if you don't drink/serve alcohol in your home.)
