For most people, moving out to a new home is one big event that needs to be proclaimed and celebrated.  This is one occasion that many people see as being happily shared with family and relatives, and closest friends. 
There are actually a lot of ways that people can do this but making this a little more personal is the probably the best way to do it. For this reason, most people opt at having the announcement done in a more personal note - usually in a form of a moving out personalized card. 
In creating moving out personal cards, there are a few things that you should remember.  Below are these:
 Make sure that you write the name of the invited person using your own penmanship. This adds more personal touch to the invite being given. Make sure that you give the invite weeks ahead of time. Remember, they, too, have schedules to adhere to.  Make sure that you include all the things necessary in the invite such as the time, date, location map of the new house and even the RSVP note.
Sending a personal note in a form of a card is more acceptable considering that the event is indeed for people who are close to your heart.
