To want to give new neighbours a card?

[CocoBean22]

New neighbours next door to us have moved in this week and I thought it might be a nice gesture to post a card through their door in a few days/week to say welcome and introduce ourselves.
Im quite a friendly person so I would be touched if someone did this for me, however I understand day and not everyone is like that and it may be weird?
What do you think?
Would you think it was nice to receive a card when moving in or weird?

All our new neighbours welcomed us this way when we moved last year. Bonus for them that we invited them all for pre Christmas drinks, which in turn meant we were then invited to them for the same. And now we have a lovely circle of neighbours for socialising!!

That would be lovely.

There are many ifs and maybes.

It's a lovely gesture - yet, now I'm older, never would I do this and I would never want to receive either.

Do you live in social housing like I do? Then absolutely don't do this. The CF social behaviour on these housing areas is off the scale and any sign you're kind, people pleaser type and you'll be taken advantage of

If you're in a relatively ok area then it's a nice gesture. But why are you doing it? Maybe it's best to just let things develop naturally. You will get to know each other in good time. I do agree that for some, a card could feel intrusive.

I'm naturally very outgoing, friendly and confident. Yet, I'd think ' please fuck off ' over a card like this. If we bumped into each other naturally and got chatting, that's totally different and I'd be ok with that on my terms.

No, it’s a completely normal thing to do.

I think do it soon if you are going to. In a few weeks would be really odd

Now that is weird. Some people project so much of their own thoughts and feelings onto others. What if you'd had dietary requirements? Had she never heard of takeaways?

She didn't force it down their throats.

If none of the family could eat it (unlikely) then they could say so at the door "Oh, that is such a nice gesture, unfortunately we are all gluten free and allergic to onions, but it was lovely of you to think of us" or take it graciously and dispose of it quietly.

Not weird at all.

I moved here last January and was actually rather annoyed no one did this, nor introduced themselves with it being such a small cup de sac, after living here a year I think I’ve spoke to the neighbours maybe twice, baffles me how people don’t want to be friendly with their neighbours, think I was hoping for desperate housewives vibes haha.

New neighbours? Why aren't you behind your sofa hiding?

I've done this in the past: Just a simple 'Welcome' card with our first names (and surname in brackets) and house number, and something like 'Do call at our door if we can help with anything'.

Totally normal thing to do and really nice - our neighbours did that when we moved in- plus handy to learn names

Honestly, anyone who would see a welcome card dropped through the door as ‘intrusive’ needs to give their head a wobble…
