Moving Announcement Gift Grabby?

My FI and I recently purchased a home and  I have 2 questions:

1) Does a moving announcement seem gift grabby?

2) We will be renovating the house and will probably not be fully moved in until September.  If we send a moving announcement when should we send it?  Our registry gifts are already being sent to this new address and we are there daily, for the most part.

Thanks!

    The closest I've seen to a moving announcement is a couple friends have sent out simple postcards to provide change of address information.

    Thank you all for your help!  It would be more of a change of address notification.

    I will probably just skip it.  Our wedding thank you's will have our new address on the return address and they will probably go out around the same time.

    I have only ever received change of address announcements. 

    Do what Linger suggested.  You can send them at any time especially since you are already having all of your registry gifts sent to the new address.

    I'd probably send it via email, making it less formal.

    My FBIL and FSIL moved 2 summers ago and they sent a Christmas card with their new address. When FH and I moved last year I included a little note with our Christmas cards that we moved and here is our address. I have seen brides and groom a include their address on the programs at the wedding, especially of they moved recently or would now be living together.

    [QUOTE]You can send out an annoucnement after the move.  It should read like this: We’ve Moved! Our New Address is… ADDRESS TELEPHONE EMAIL NAME It is not gift grabby because gifts are not expected when you move.  You send it right after you move.  It's to notify people of your new address.  It doesn't matter if renovations are complete or not.

    This.

    Though, I just sent it as an e-mail when I moved.

    ETA: I didn't get any gifts, but people also chose not to pay attention because my christmas packages from one couple were a real beotch to get. UPS doesn't forward like mail and one of my gifts got stolen off the porch when the people who lived there were gone for the week.  This couple DID know I moved... they forgot to update it...  but just saying that it's a courtesy for the people that you're announcing to. It'd suck come wedding time or Christmas time if they send stuff via UPS to the wrong place because they didn't know
