A new home gives you something extra to celebrate at Christmas. Along with your favorite photos and holiday wishes, this year’s card can share the address where you’re making new memories. Whether you’re sharing a new address, celebrating your first Christmas there, or both, the right message helps bring it all together. At Shutterfly, we help you bring both moments together with holiday moving announcement cards you can make your own. From a simple address update to a funny note about unpacking, these wording ideas will help you find the right message.
What to Write on a Moving Announcement Christmas Card
Start with a Christmas greeting, add a line that makes your move clear, and include your complete new mailing address. Finish with your name, both of your names, or your family name so recipients know who the card is from. You don’t need a long update about the move. A short message leaves plenty of room for a favorite photo and makes the address easy to find. Use the examples below as written or change a few words to fit your year.

Where to Put Your New Address on a Christmas Card
Give your address its own space so it’s easy to read and copy. You can place it beneath your greeting on the front or include it with a short message on the back. A heading such as “Our New Address” makes the update easy to spot. With Shutterfly’s free back-of-card customization, you can add photos and text to share more of your move while keeping your favorite holiday photo on the front. Include the full street address, any apartment or unit number, city, state, and ZIP code, and check every detail before ordering.
Moving Announcement Christmas Card Wording FAQs
Do I need to say “we’ve moved” if my new address is on the card?
A clear announcement helps people notice the change. “We’ve moved,” “Our new address,” or “First Christmas in our new home” tells recipients to update their address book rather than assume the printed address is the one they already have.
How much should I write about the move?
One or two sentences are usually enough. Share the news, add your holiday wishes, and include the address. If you want to give a longer update, use the back of the card for a few details about your new home or neighborhood.
How can I collect everyone’s updated mailing addresses before sending my holiday moving announcements?
If your contact list needs a refresh before the holidays, Shutterfly’s Address Collector makes it easy to gather mailing addresses from friends and family in one place. Send a personalized link by text, email, or social media, and recipients can securely share their information with you. Once you have everyone’s current address, you can send your holiday moving announcements with confidence.
What if I already told everyone my new address?
You can still celebrate your first Christmas in your new home. Choose wording that focuses on the milestone and include your address as a helpful reminder.
Should I wait until Christmas to share my new address?
If people need your address before then, send a quick update as soon as it’s ready to use. Your Christmas card can celebrate the move later. This is especially helpful if you want friends and family to send their holiday cards to the right place.
Share Christmas Wishes from Your New Home
The best message sounds like you and gives loved ones the details they need to stay connected. Choose a greeting that fits your year, add your new address, and pair it with a photo that makes you smile. At Shutterfly, our moving announcement Christmas cards help you celebrate a new home and the holiday season in one thoughtful mailing. It’s a little Christmas cheer from the place where your next memories will begin.
