So, You’ve Moved. Now What?
You’re knee-deep in cardboard, bubble wrap, and asking yourself why you own 47 mugs. We’ve all been there. But before you settle into your new place (and try to find the box with your spatula), there’s one last adulting task to tackle: letting people know where you ended up.
Announcing your new address doesn’t have to be boring or something that gets pushed to the bottom of your to-do list. Think of it as the final fun step in your moving adventure.
Here’s a light-hearted guide to getting the word out with ideas, a few laughs, and yes, a gentle nudge from someone who makes cute things for a living.
Why Bother Sending a Moving Announcement?
- So people can actually find you. (Especially those holiday card senders.)
- Avoid surprise deliveries to strangers. No one wants their packages going to the new guy who just moved into your old place.
- You earned it. Seriously, moving is hard work celebrate the fresh start!
What to Include in Your Announcement
- Your new address (obviously)
- Who lives there (especially if it’s changed)
- Any extras you want: a phone number, fun note, or house nickname
Not sure how to word it? Keep it casual. Something like:
“We’ve moved! New address, same questionable life choices.”
Or reach out and I’m happy to help you brainstorm something sweet or silly.
Final Thoughts (and Maybe a Few Final Boxes)
Moving is a mess, but announcing it can be fun. Whether you go sentimental, funny, or totally minimalist, sharing your new home with friends and family is worth the moment.
And if your toaster is still MIA? Totally fine. Send the card anyway.
