Victoria Day Card Etiquette Tips
Keep it casual
Victoria Day is a relaxed, festive holiday. Your card should match that energy -- think fun, warm, and easygoing rather than formal or serious.
Lean into Canadian culture
References to cottages, fireworks, the May Two-Four, and the start of summer resonate with Canadians. Embrace the uniquely Canadian spirit of the holiday.
Double as an invitation
Victoria Day cards work beautifully as invitations to long-weekend gatherings, barbecues, or cottage trips. Combine your holiday wishes with an invitation for maximum impact.
Send it early
Since Victoria Day kicks off the long weekend, send your card by the Thursday or Friday before so the recipient can enjoy it as the celebration begins.
