Change of Address Cards

It's been a very busy summer so far. Just before we left on our out-west road trip, my husband and I bought and moved into our very first house! Making the transition from renting to owning was something we've wanted to do for months - and it's great to have the extra space when I'm designing, printing out, and assembling stationery! :)

With the internet, it's pretty easy to just post your new address on whatever social networking site you prefer to let all of your friends and family know where you're living now - but I'm a little wary about letting all of my Facebook friends know my exact address. Instead, it's safer (and more personal!) to mail a change-of-address postcard to all of your favorite people. 

Most people love to receive a tangible piece of mail - since it's so rare these days, it draws more attention and really makes an impact. Though it's not quite as exciting, email is also an option (and a great one if you're trying to save some money). Spruce up the email or postcard with pictures of your new place and don't forget to include your new address. Many people don't bother to send change-of-address information anymore, so if you do, you'll be the poster child of thoughtfulness - and you just might receive a housewarming gift or two in the process!
