Meeting the neighbors-sorry long

WE really want to meet the rest of our neighbors. We live in a neighborhood on 3 acres and all of the houses are spaced out but close enough. Hopefully that makes sense. ha

We had a couple of the ladies in the neighborhood bake us a pie and bring it over on the first day but since then nothing. We will obviously invite them to our open house party but I don't want them to think we are ignoring them or anything.

Also, this is a pretty close neighborhood, they get together a lot and are very social. We would really like to join the "group" 

What can I do? 

Re: Meeting the neighbors-sorry long

  • Did you visit them to thank them for the pie? (Mmm. Pie. Want.)

    Open house sounds like a good idea. Otherwise just look for opportunities to say hello when you see them around and stuff. Give it time, I'm sure you'll all get to know each other.

    Perhaps send around some Christmas cookies?

    The pie was so good. Fresh, still hot from the oven! We didn't visit after the pie. We met the husband of one shortly after. I was to write a thank you note but I am clueless as how to deliver it other than plain old snail mail. 

    The Christmas cookie idea is a good one. Thanks! 

     

  • We moved into our condo around the holidays, so I made tins of cookies and gave them to the neighbors. If they weren't home, I left a nice card and the cookies. All but one of the people I left the cookies on their doorstep for came and thanked me and we talked. Good luck!

  • I like the cookie idea. Write a little note saying how you like the neighborhood and looking forward to being neighbors. Then it is all in their lap what to do next.
  • Hand deliver! With cookies. If they're home, it gives you the chance to chat with each other, if not, leave it, and it's back in their boat.
