Tacky. It's even tacky for YOU to throw the housewarming party. Others throw it for you. If you're throwing it, it says something about you (like why doesn't anyone like you enough to say, "We should throw Jane a housewarming!"?)

Yes, tacky. get over yourself.

Yes. Its tacky even when you are not single.

We called ours an "open house" because we specifically didn't want people to feel like they needed to bring gifts, though some people brought some plants or wine. You are tacky OP.

Doesn't matter if you're single, in a committed relationship, or married 20 years. Registering for a housewarming party is tacky. Have a party and invite people over to cristen the new place, have food and drinks, but don't register.

Never heard of it. I am even more depressed at the state of the world now.

I'm pretty conservative on registries, but this actually doesn't bother me that much. I've had a couple of friends who never got married, never had kids and finally went ahead and registered for a big birthday (like 40 or 50) or a housewarming. It sounds tacky but actually kind of worked for these ladies. Like they didn't have these other milestones but hell yeah were going to register for some gifts once in their lives and have a great party. Depends on your friends, I guess.

Yep. Have a housewarming party if you like, but no registry.

Tacky. I didn't even realize this was something anyone would consider doing

Tacky.

Don't do it.

It's even more tacky if you're married and you're registered for a housewarming party. Single, one income, that makes sense. But married? Go fuck yourself.

So tacky.

Yes, tacky.

Thoughts??
