Lunar New Year Card Etiquette Tips
Be culturally inclusive
Remember that Lunar New Year is celebrated by many cultures. If you are not sure of the recipient's specific tradition, 'Happy Lunar New Year' is a safe and respectful greeting that works for everyone.
Use red and gold
Red symbolizes good luck and gold represents wealth in many Asian cultures. Choosing cards in these colors or mentioning these themes aligns with the holiday's traditions.
Reference the zodiac animal
Each Lunar New Year is associated with a zodiac animal. Mentioning the animal and its positive qualities adds a fun, traditional element to your card.
Avoid unlucky references
In many Asian cultures, certain numbers and colors carry negative connotations. Avoid references to the number four (associated with death in some cultures) and the color white (associated with mourning) in your Lunar New Year card.
