Wondering what to say in a card when someone moves to a house?

Moving into a new home is always an exciting time, and it's wonderful to be able to share that happiness with friends and family. A housewarming card is a perfect way to do that, and it's a nice gesture to take the time to write a few words of congratulations.

First, congratulate them on their new home and new chapter in life. Second, wish them all the best with their new adventure and new beginnings in their beautiful home. Finally, let them know that you're always there for them if they need anything. These few sentences will mean so much to someone who is starting a new chapter in their life, and it will show them that you care.

If you know the person well, you could write about a fond memory you have of them in their old home, or how much you're looking forward to spending time in their new one. If you're not sure what to say, a simple 'many congratulations on your new home' will do the trick.

So next time you're wondering what to say in a housewarming card, keep these tips in mind and you'll be sure to make the perfect message. Don't forget to include a little something for luck. A new home print, or even just kind words of encouragement will do the trick.
