Moving on up

When you’ve decided to move to a new place, there will be a long checklist of things that need to get done both before and after the event. Changing the utilities, forwarding your mail, and updating your voter registration address are just a few of those important tasks. One thing you may forget to do when moving, though, is to let everyone else know where you’ve moved to. Specifically, your friends and family will need to know your new address so they can send you holiday cards and birthday presents!

Don’t just call up grandma and second-cousin Billy one by one to give them the new address; the easiest way to let everyone in on the major life change is to send out “We’ve Moved!” postcards. You can include your new address and a photo of your new place to help people find you for Thanksgiving.

Another great thing about moving, is you can throw a house-warming party to help break-in your new abode. It is also a great way to force you to unpack all of those new boxes that materialized in the spare rooms of your new place. Otherwise, they might stay packed until your next move!

Whatever you do after a big relocation, you’ll no doubt feel a sense of rejuvenation that comes from purging the excess belongings and clothing and from the new view you’ll be greeted with outside your windows. It is a stressful event, but one that has its rewards. In the end, the hard work will be worth it and you can celebrate with those closest to you…once you send out those invitations!

Let us help you with your moving checklist! We can design and print your postcards and party invitations, or even make those yard sale signs you’ll undoubtedly need before you leave your old place.
