Holiday Card Etiquette

Be inclusive

When sending to a diverse group, keep your message focused on warmth and good wishes rather than specific religious holidays. This ensures everyone feels included.

Send early

Holiday mail gets hectic. Send your cards in the first two weeks of December so they arrive with time to be enjoyed and displayed.

Add a personal touch

Even a single handwritten line on a printed card makes it feel more genuine. Mention something specific to your relationship with the recipient.

Do not forget the return address

Especially for holiday cards sent to people you see rarely, including your return address helps them keep in touch.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it better to say Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas?
It depends on your audience. If you know they celebrate Christmas, Merry Christmas is great. For mixed groups, clients, or when you are unsure, Happy Holidays is thoughtful and inclusive.
When should I send holiday cards?
Early to mid-December is ideal for mailed cards. This gives them time to arrive before the holiday rush and allows recipients to display them.
Can I send a holiday card to a client or customer?
Absolutely, and it is a great gesture. Keep the message professional but warm, and use inclusive language unless you know their specific traditions.
What if I do not know what someone celebrates?
Focus on the season rather than a specific holiday. Wishes for peace, joy, and a wonderful new year work universally.

Not sure what holidays someone celebrates? A holiday card with a warm, inclusive message is always a safe and thoughtful choice. These messages work for anyone during the holiday season, whether you are sending cards to clients, neighbors, distant relatives, or friends. The key is to focus on warmth, gratitude, and good wishes for the season ahead.
