When Should I Send Them? - Generally, you don't want to send your relocation announcement too early. Imagine what would happen if your closing gets delayed or if your apartment isn't empty when you expected to move in. In those situations, the early mailing of the announcements is probably small potatoes compared to the bigger problems of finding housing but it can be confusing for the people who want to stay in touch with you. For this reason, don't put them in the mail until the day of or after your actual move. Remember it only takes 2 to 5 days, on average, for mail to get around the country so advanced notice isn't really that big of a deal.
Now if you operate a business, you should send them in advance and include the scheduled date of the move so your customers and vendors can prepare for the change.
What About House Warming Parties? - One good idea is to send moving announcements or housewarming invitations once you're at your new place . These cards can double as address change announcements for your friends and family and as an invitation to a party celebrating your change of address. For those parties, the obvious location is going to be your new home. If you're concerned about having a bunch of people in your house at one time, consider spreading out the events. Invite a couple of people over for dinner one weekend. Throw a small movie party another weekend. Just make sure to add the appropriate party details to the moving invitations.
If you have a backyard or a shared outdoor area, this could be a good choice for the location of your party if the weather permits. If the area is shared, talk to your landlord about policies on guests before you send out the relocation invitations. Of course, you should still include a guided tour of your new home, regardless of whether the party is held indoors or outdoors.
One great idea for these events and for the moving announcements is to choose photo moving announcements. For these, you'll need to take a photo of your new hom e and include it on the cards before sending them. This may add slightly to the cost of sending invitations moving announcements but the unique end results should make the extra costs worth it. Plus, your guests will have an extra clue to help them find your location.
