New home cards for the first night with new keys
Moving is exhausting, and the first evening in a new place often means boxes everywhere and dinner eaten on the floor. A new home card is a small bright spot in that chaos, a reminder that people are cheering for the fresh start. It suits first-time buyers, renters finally in a bigger place, friends relocating across the country, or neighbors who just moved in next door.

The usual wishes are simple: happiness inside these walls, good neighbors, a kitchen that sees plenty of dinners. If they sent you a picture of the front door or the keys in hand, use it; the foil will trace the doorframe and porch lines beautifully. Otherwise our little house design says Home Sweet Home with no extra effort.
What to write inside
Pick a message to start from. It goes straight into your card, and you can change every word.
Design idea
Ask for a photo of the new front door, porch or keys held up to the camera, then crop it portrait. Pick Details so copper foil follows the door panels, brickwork and window frames, and set it on kraft paper for a warm, handmade feel. If the door is painted a bold color, try A color and tap it to turn just that into foil.

When to send it
Send it on moving day or within the first week, while they are still unpacking. If you are invited to a housewarming party, the card makes a lovely companion to the gift you bring.
Links work for 90 days and open in any browser, so it arrives the moment you send it, wherever they are.
Questions
What should I write in a new home card?
Congratulate them on the move, wish happiness for the people living there and, if you can, mention something you look forward to, like a first dinner or a visit. For first-time buyers, acknowledging the saving and searching behind the purchase makes it feel personal.
Is it okay to send a housewarming card to renters?
Absolutely. A new apartment or rented house is still a fresh start, and moving is just as much work whether or not there is a mortgage. Focus on the home and the life they will build there rather than on ownership.
