New Neighborhood Card: Funny Housewarming Card for New Homes

New Neighborhood Card shows HOPE IT'S GOOD IN THE NEW HOOD on the front, and the slang gives a friendly nod to a new area. The inside wish about a cozy home, a full fridge and cool neighbors turns the move into something to smile about, and it suits anyone who just unpacked boxes and is ready to meet the people next door.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

The print at a glance

The front carries the line in large black serif capitals, with GOOD and HOOD set bigger than the smaller words around them. HOPE IT'S sits above and IN THE NEW sits between the two big words, so the sentence reads cleanly from top to bottom. The cream background and red border frame the lettering like a classic printed card.

Inside, the message May your home be cozy, your fridge full, and your neighbors cool is set in a clean sans serif on the upper half of the page. In the lower right corner sits a small watercolor cottage with a tiled roof, a chimney, a pale facade and a green wreath beside the wooden door. Climbing plants and a flower bed sit at its base. The soft color of the cottage contrasts with the bold type on the front, so the card feels warm rather than loud.

Who it is for

You will want this card for friends who just bought a first place, a coworker who moved across town, or a neighbor who finally closed on a house. They are the people who will laugh at the slang and then notice the little cottage tucked into the corner. The wish inside speaks to anyone who has spent a weekend hauling boxes and now wants a full fridge and a friendly street.

It also suits relatives who just relocated, since the wording works whether the new place is a condo, a rental or a house with a yard. You can send it to someone you know well or to a colleague you want to welcome with a light touch.

Occasions to use it

Send New Neighborhood Card for a housewarming party, to slip into a welcome basket, or to mail the week after the moving truck leaves. It also works for a first dinner invitation, a neighborly visit or a note tucked into a box of coffee for the new kitchen.

The card comes in one natural colorway, so it pairs easily with kraft wrapping, a small plant or a bottle of something for the pantry. Keep one on hand for the next time a friend mentions a new address.
