It all depends, i have been to full sit down dinners catered with cocktails before, i have been to buffets, i have been to cocktail ones, and i have been to BBQ ones. It depends a lot also on what time of day it is also. You can have a theme - i had a friend who had a theme one once of international and people bought them things that represented different countries and they had international cuizine (yeah, they were strange friends lol ended up with a lot of wine and alcohol and beer lol), you can simply put different foods and drink in different rooms, this is pretty cool as the housewarming is to show off your home. Some themes could be Kitchen for love, and have everyone bring you a recipe and the gift could be something for the kitchen, or library blowout, where people bring you books to stock your library or office. Its all based on your imagination but all in all, its to show off your house in a intimate setting of friends.
It all depends on what you want and what work you want to put into it. You can have it very formal which may including catering and cocktail dress or you can have it as simple as finger foods and alcohol, and casual dress.
What do you and them enjoy doing the most? There really are no rules, except make it easy for your guests and REGISTER so they can get you something you may want or need. If you don't, you may end up with everyone bringing you wine! lol.
