New home wishes to celebrate their big milestone
Nothing is as satisfying (or exciting or nerve-wracking) as watching that “For sale” sign come down in front of a house and knowing that it’s now yours! Buying a home is a huge accomplishment, representing years of hard work, saving, strategizing and sacrifice. And whether someone is buying their first home or their forever home, it’s definite cause for celebration. Yes, even if they’re moving away and you’ll miss them terribly—perhaps especially if that’s the case. Whether you’re congratulating family members, friends or new neighbors you hope will become good friends, you need the perfect new home wishes to let them know just how happy you are for them.
What should you write in a housewarming card?
You’ll likely want to start with some form of congratulations or a “thinking of you” message, but new home wishes need to go beyond that. They should convey a special blend of pride, happiness, humor and excitement for the future. Not sure what to say? There aren’t any hard-and-fast etiquette rules you need to follow, and whether you go with something heartfelt or funny will really depend on your personality and your relationship with the new homeowner. A funny quip can also ease the stress of moving and make them forget about all the boxes they need to unpack … at least for a little while.
We have plenty of suggestions for you to find the right words, as well as some suggestions for housewarming gifts they’ll absolutely love. Even better? That combo is sure to score you an invite to their place sometime soon!
