Thinking SpainA housewarming party is a party held on the ocassion occasion of moving into a new residence.
given is a fairly good paraphrase, even though it's not idiomatic to say "to give a party". You "have a party" or "hold a party", or to suggest a wilder party in slang, you "throw a party". Tho
