Get a Move On

by christine on August 10, 2009

The season of moving does not go unnoticed. Nor do these greetings. Original moving announcements for personal and business! Heck, even postal workers will enjoy seeing something more delightful in the mail.

What inspired this post was a moving announcement by Design Army. The clever folded map combines advertising and practicality. The concept behind this was that there are “many moves you can make in life and in a city like Washington,DC, where everyone is watching, you have to be careful. The Design Army moving announcement points out all the pitfalls of our political population except for one—Design Army’s new address which is highlighted with a die-cut star to mark our new headquarters.”

Red Stamp also sells moving announcements which are extremely reminiscent of wedding invitations. They contain pretty designs, but I think I would love them even more if they were business card sized. Why not create announcement cards you can hand out when you’re out for lunch with friends?RedStamp_Move_525w
