Home Sweet (New) Home: We Moved Cards to Share the News

Moving can be a stressful time, but it’s also a moment filled with excitement and anticipation for all the new things to come. There’s a chance to explore a new neighborhood, make new connections, and design a space you’ll love. Plus, moves are often the result of exciting life events, like landing a new job, getting married, or starting a new chapter.

Regardless of the reason for your move, it’s a great idea to share the news with loved ones so you can give them your new address, announce the move, and update friends and family if there’s a big reason for the change. 

Here, we’ll show you what to include in your we moved cards and share some crafty wording ideas, whether you want something formal or playful. Plus, we’ll highlight some of our favorite we’ve moved card designs so you can spread the word in stylish fashion.

We Moved Cards: What to Include + Wording Ideas

When it comes to we moved cards, you can choose to send mailed or digital designs. Mailed cards are ideal for individuals who want to hand-write a note to just a few people. 

But if you’re sending out a lot of moving announcements, digital designs can make life easier since you won’t have to deal with attaching individual stamps, sealing envelopes, and heading to the post office. Plus, digital designs are easy to share on social media if you want to spread the word far and wide.

However you decide to share the news, you’ll want to include some key details. Start by sharing the news that you’ve moved and include the reason, if you want to. If you’ve moved because of a milestone — like a graduation, marriage, or the purchase of your first home — you may want to include a registry website where guests can purchase housewarming gifts. Make sure to add a note if you’re planning a housewarming party to celebrate!

Next, be sure to include your new address (and update any address labels). It’s also a good idea to include your email address or phone number just in case. If you haven’t finished the move yet, be sure to indicate the date of the move so recipients know when to start using the new address. 

Craft your message to match the tone of the moment, whether you’re feeling playful and overjoyed or sharing the formal news that your business has a new location. Not sure what to say? 

Here are some wording ideas to use in your we moved cards:

• Location, location, location! We’ve picked the very best one to call our new home! We’re still settling in and will have everyone over for a housewarming party soon. For now, we wanted to make sure you had our new address. 
• We’re movin’ and groovin’ our way to a new pad! We’re still in the same city, just a few minutes away in a new neighborhood. Can’t wait to give you a tour at our housewarming next Saturday at 4 p.m. 
• I’m kicking off my fresh start with some new digs. Here’s my new address, which you can start using after June 1st. I’m looking forward to new horizons and sharing this next chapter of my life with you all.
• With a little bundle of joy on the way, we’ve found a new nest! We’re still getting settled in, but we’re excited to share the space once the baby arrives. Please wait to stop by until we reach out with the date of our housewarming party.
• New year, new home! We’re excited to share that we’re kicking off the new year in style with a home in Texas. We’ll miss all of you here in New York, but we’re excited to be closer to family back home. 
• Home sweet home just got a little sweeter — because we moved! 
• Just married and just moved! We have a lot of exciting news to share, and we can’t wait to gather together at our new house for a celebration. Party details to come, but for now, please save our new address.
• New location, same great service! We wanted to announce that our offices have moved into a skyrise downtown. The views are better, but the staff is the same loyal crew you’ve trusted for years. We look forward to continuing our partnership and forging new horizons.
• We’ve unpacked the moving boxes and are just down the street from our old location. Please bookmark the address so we can continue serving the community we love. Deals and specials are coming soon as we host a “we’ve moved” celebration at the new location.
• Update your address book, because we’ve moved!
