Hello,
Although our topping-out ceremony is still some time away, I wanted to ask in advance.
How was it for you? Who did you invite (tradespeople, family, friends, neighbors)?
How much did the topping-out ceremony cost you, and how many people attended?
For those who celebrated it in winter, did you use patio heaters (costs)?
Who usually provides the topping-out wreath/tree?
We are still considering whether to invite only tradespeople and neighbors. But from what we hear, family and friends also expect an invitation...
Thank you very much for your opinions and experiences.

Since we held it on a Saturday, we had around 60 guests. Our neighbors made a wonderful wreath for the topping-out, which was attached to the roof together with another wreath from the carpenter. Since then, there have already been two more topping-out ceremonies in our neighborhood, and I expect more to follow.
We enjoyed delicious grilled food and offered a variety of homemade salads. Our guests thanked us for the invitation with many lovely gifts, such as decorations for the new house or practical hardware store vouchers.
