While we tend to think of offering housewarming wishes when friends or family members move into a new home, there are many situations when you can share these good wishes. A colleague moving overseas or relocating to a different city will surely move into a new home. And even though you won't be there to share the excitement, a housewarming wish will certainly be appreciated (perhaps via an ecard). Similarly, when somebody you don't know moves into the neighbourhood, it’s still considerate and welcoming to offer them warm wishes.
We've gathered up ideas that you can use to help craft housewarming wishes no matter who is moving into the new home. Make sure you're prepared for your next housewarming by using our examples to help tailor good wishes for different situations.
Cultural and traditional blessings.
There are many rituals surrounding a housewarming in Indian culture, all designed to protect the home from evil forces and bring prosperity, good fortune, health and happiness to the new occupants. Sharing good wishes on this auspicious occasion will help to reinforce those blessings.
For a housewarming ceremony, the new homeowner puts a lot of thought into the timing of the Griha Pravesh, the floral decorations adorning their home’s entrance, the rugs and cushions, and idols in the pooja room to encourage good fortune. You can help make the day perfect by ensuring your good wishes bring positive energy in line with the sentiment of this occasion.
When writing wishes for the housewarming ceremony to express support for loved ones embarking on this new journey, you can make a fabulous card that incorporates elements of the ceremony. Add symbols such as marigold garlands, a white pumpkin or mango leaves and opt for a colour theme that incorporates red, yellow and pastel shades.
