Housewarming card etiquette: do's & don'ts
Congratulate the person first, then add a warm wish for comfort, happiness, or memories.
Reference the fresh start. Housewarming cards work best when they feel hopeful and forward-looking.
Keep it personal if you know the homeowner well.
Short notes are perfectly fine when they feel genuine.
Don't comment critically on the size, style, or location of the home.
Don't make jokes about money unless you're very close and know they'll land well.
Don't focus only on the house; celebrate the people and the milestone too.
Don't leave the card empty. Even one thoughtful line makes a difference.
