Overstay My Welcome Card shows “I can't wait to overstay my welcome” in bold typewriter letters, with a red heart sitting under the joke. The smaller lines read “Congrats on the new home” and “AKA my 2nd home,” which turns a housewarming into a joke about future visits. It is for the friend who will be your most frequent guest.
Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.
Artwork and lettering
The heavy black lettering stacks across the center of the card in a typewriter style, each line set slightly apart so the joke reads like a confession. A single glossy red heart sits below the final word, adding the only splash of color against the natural kraft tone. Two smaller red hearts flank the note at the bottom, repeating the warmth in a quieter way. Below the main joke, “Congrats on the new home” sits on one line and “AKA my 2nd home” on the next, both in a neat, plain type. The whole design feels like a message typed out on an old machine and pinned to a kitchen wall. It belongs to the world of moving boxes, new keys and the first party in a fresh space.
Made for this crowd
The people who notice this card first are usually the ones who have already claimed the couch for the weekend. A friend who lives nearby and plans to drop by every Sunday will see themselves in the line right away. You can hand it over when you help carry boxes, and the words “overstay my welcome” set the tone for the whole visit. Family members who like teasing each other will also recognize the rhythm of the joke. It is a good fit for anyone who treats a new house as a place to gather.
Moments it suits
This card works well at a housewarming party, slipped under a welcome mat or tucked beside a potted plant on moving day. You can also give it at a first dinner in the new kitchen, when the guest list is mostly people who already know where the spoons are. It is also a fun addition to a basket of cleaning supplies or snacks for the first week.
