Host a driveway party. Hand deliver fliers to the 5 houses to the left of you, the 5 to the right, the 10 across the street, and then look past your back yard and deliver a flier to the people immediately behind, immediately to the left, and immediately to the right of your house's back yard.
Make it BYO booze and chairs, and ask them to bring a shareable food for 4-5 people each.
You should provide napkins, Solo cups, ice, coffee/ice tea, a few snack tables and a bridge or foldable banquet table to lay everything out on. And a "main entree" if you're up to it - you could do hotdogs and beans, or buy a 6-foot italian sub from Subway, or a small party platter from Publix, for example. It only needs to serve 25 people, nothing outrageous - there will likely be enough food for everyone plus leftovers since everyone will know to bring something to share.
On the flier put the date, time, address. Let them know it's to celebrate having excellent new neighbors as you settle into the Villages.
If you have a bluetooth speaker and an MP3 collection, set up a playlist of music that can serve in the background.
