A friend asked me if I knew of any resources for a free housewarming party invitation card that she could just print out. After scouring the internet I couldn’t find anything that was free or her style. So I couldn’t resist making one for her using my beloved Picnik. For now I just have a graphic that I would love to share with you. Go ahead and right click and save to your computer for your personal use. The easiest way to use it is to insert it into a word document to make a folded card or a post card/note card to announce your housewarming party or even a “We Have Moved” card. Here’s one in a different configuration…feel free to snag this one as well.
Customizing Your Housewarming Invite
If you’d like to make it in Picnik yourself, I did used the paid service this time, whereas the last two times I used Picnik (here and here) I used solely the free services. The trees and bird are “Premium” while the house is just made from basic shapes that are free. I bet you could make a tree using the free shapes, and there are also other bird shapes available for free. I think it was these pretty trees that finally made me break down and pay for their premium service and I’ve been having loads of fun since.
Okay, off to make my mom’s Mother’s Day present! I probably won’t get a chance to post it before I go to her house this weekend (poo!) but will show it to you next week. So if I don’t talk to you again til then, Happy Mother’s Day to all you mamas, grandmas, step-mamas, aunties, and all other mama figures who enrich our lives!
Planning Your House Warming Celebration
When it comes to sending out party invites for a housewarming party or moving cards, there’s no one-size-fits-all approach. You might want to go the traditional route with a standard housewarming party invitation, or you might prefer something a little more unique and fun with a moving card!
Consider the vibe of your new home or new apartment. If you plan to serve cocktails or have a bar, a sophisticated, elegant card might be best. For a casual get-together or tea, a cute or colorful chalkboard design works wonders. Don’t forget to make it clear what guests should expect—whether you want gifts, prefer them to bring a plant for your garden, or just want their company. Let us know in the comments what kind of invitation or card you think would be the best fit for the occasion!
Conclusion
Sending the perfect Housewarming Party Invitation Card is the first step to a memorable celebration. Whether you choose to design your own custom invites or use a pre-made template, the most important thing is to invite the people you want to share your new space with. From funny cards that joke about the chaos of the move to beautiful keepsake announcements, your choice sets the tone. So go ahead, plan your event, and get ready to throw an amazing housewarming party!
FAQs
Q: How do I word a housewarming party invitation card to invite friends and neighbors?
A: When writing your housewarming party invitation card, be warm and clear: state you’ve moved into your new home or new apartment, include the date and time, the address, and a brief note about the celebration. Mention whether guests should bring gifts or a favorite dish, and add RSVP details so you know how many people you want to join. Including a short welcoming line like “Please join us to celebrate our new home!” helps set a friendly tone for your neighbors and friends.
Q: What details should I include to make it clear on party invitations to make?
A: Make it clear by listing the essential details: date, start time, end time (if any), full address with directions or parking notes, RSVP contact and deadline, and any theme or dress code. If you’re serving food, cocktails, tea, or having a bar, note that too. Also indicate if guests should bring gifts or a plant for a keepsake community garden, or whether it’s a casual get-together or a more elegant celebration.
Q: How can I design custom housewarming invitations that match my home style—rustic, blue, or elegant?
A: Choose design elements that reflect your home’s vibe: wood textures, chalkboard fonts, and kraft paper for rustic invites; soft blue tones, crisp fonts, and simple borders for an elegant look; or bright, colorful graphics for a playful party. A custom keepsake card with a photo of your new house or apartment can be both pretty and personal. Make sure the text is readable and matches the visual theme to create a cohesive invite.
Q: Should I mention whether guests should bring gifts or not on the invitation?
A: Yes—if you want gifts, politely state it to avoid awkwardness: phrases like “Your presence is the best gift, but if you wish to bring something, a small plant or household item would be appreciated” work well. If you’d prefer no gifts, write “No gifts, please” or suggest an alternative such as donating to a chosen charity. Clear wording prevents confusion and ensures each guest knows your preference.
Q: How can I make a cute or funny invitation that still provides key information?
A: Use playful headlines or humorous lines—e.g., “We finally unpacked the boxes—come judge our tape skills!”—then follow with the necessary details (date, time, address, RSVP). Cute visuals like illustrated plants, a small house icon, or a colorful color palette add charm. Keep the humor light and include a polite note about gifts, food, or whether children or pets are welcome so guests know what to expect from your house warming.
