What To Write In A New Home Card [89 Thoughtful Ideas]

If you know someone who’s just moved house, then no doubt you’ll be sending them a happy new home card soon. Here are 89 creative ways to say congratulations on their new pad. There are ideas for everyone for exactly what to write in a new home card – they’ll love it!

A housewarming card can send those all important new home messages and good wishes to wherever your loved one (s) are – and show that you’re thinking of them at this special time in their lives.

After all – moving house can be stressful, so once it’s all done and dusted, and you have the keys – it’s time to celebrate!

So – whoever you’re sending a card to – here are some brilliant ideas and inspiration to help you if you’re struggling with what to say. 

NOTE: This is especially important to think about for blank cards that don’t have anything written inside already. It can often feel quite overwhelming to choose the right words for all that white space, right?! But I DO recommend getting a greetings card that’s blank inside, because it gives you more chance to send a personal message and that can be much more thoughtful for the recipient than pre-filled in words, so it’s worth it for sure.
