Frequently asked questions
What do you write in a New Year card?
Start with a greeting, add a line thanking the person or recalling the year, then wish them well for 2027. For example: "Thank you for the dinners and the phone calls. Wishing you a healthy, happy New Year!"
How do you sign a New Year card?
Use a warm closing such as "With love and best wishes for the year ahead," or "Cheers to 2027!" followed by your name. For business cards, "With gratitude and good wishes" works well.
Is Happy New Year capitalized in a card?
Yes, when you use it as a greeting, write "Happy New Year" with capitals. When talking about the year in general, "a happy new year" in lowercase is also correct.
When should New Year cards arrive?
Aim for them to arrive between late December and the first week of January. Many people send New Year cards instead of Christmas cards, so January arrivals are perfectly fine.
