Is the lobby the only place where you see anyone?
If these questions describe your building then follow these instructions...
1) Order some invitations. The Stationery Studio is the perfect place to custom order invites so you don't have to spend the night handwriting each one.
2) Place the invites under everyone's door.
3) Clean up your place and go buy some hors d'oeuvres. (Don't go crazy and buy everything. Your neighbors will bring drinks or baked goodies. It would just be strange if everyone came empty handed.)
4) Select music and you are set
At the end of the night, your neighbors will thank you for organizing and will offer ideas of how the building should have more community events.
Last week was my third annual holiday party. There are 33 units in the building and about half my neighbors came. It's the one time a year that everyone living in this 6 story building comes together. My neighbors brought cake, brownies, shortbread, wine, and chocolate.
We have all learned that social networks like facebook have become places for people to share information. Throwing a party is a great way to improve your physical apartment community and know who your neighbors are...especially when you need milk (it will save you a trip to the supermarket).

Great idea, I just moved to this new apartment and don't know anyone but I can see my neighbors drinking quite often.

I would rather invite my neighbor for a dinner in a fine restaurant in the area. I think it is less stressful.

I personally live in a building where there are a lot of people. I didn't know that this idea can be effective in meeting them. I'll probably throw a party sometime.
