Moving announcements
in Married Life
This might not be the right board to post this on, but it gets more traffic than the home-buying one.
DH and I are closing on a house tomorrow, and will be moving in before the end of June. I'd like to send out "we've moved" announcements so people have our new adress (we both have a lot of family/friends that are not local or on FB).
Have you done this before? When did you send them out (how long after you moved)? What did they say? I am worried that people will get them and think we are trying to get them to send us gifts...
Re: Moving announcements
i havent done this before but i think if you do an announcement that is a basic, "we just moved, here is our new address" it wont look gift grabby at all.
Congrats on the new house! I hope your closing process goes smoothly tomorrow.
I have done something like this before but only to people I didn't have email addresses for.
The email people I just did a mass email and said somethig like "so you can update your contact information."
For the people with no email (generally the older folks I know) I sent them a card - like an actual note (thinking of you, etc.) and in the P.S. I mentioned our new address.
We sent out cute little cards that I had printed locally. I think there are many places online to get them to (VistaPrint, etc.). I mailed them the day we moved. It had our new address, telephone # and included our e-mail. That way when everyone updated their address book they would have all of our information. I did not expect gifts and got none. It was just a notification for my friends and family.

We sent out "we've moved" cards and I doubt anyone thought they were meant for anything other than simply notifying of our new address. This is where I got them from:

I agree, if you word it right it won't come across as asking for a gift.
It's actually a good opportunity to buy a cute little stationary announcement - which we rarely get the chance to do after getting married and/or having babies.
If you don't do a post card you could do a stamp like this too...I bought these when we moved into our house (self stamping option) and absolutely love every time I stamp a bill or a card, etc.

This vendor was really great to work with too.
Enjoy!!
