Lunar New Year Cards
Within Holiday Cards
Lunar New Year lands on a different date every January or February, but the expectation it carries is consistent: this is the holiday where family ties get reaffirmed, elders get honored, and the people you care about should feel genuinely seen. A text or a social media post does not carry that weight. A card written by hand — your actual words, in real ink, on paper someone can hold — signals that you paused long enough to mean it. That distinction matters especially here, because Lunar New Year is fundamentally about intention: what you carry out of the old year and what you invite into the new one.
Cards From You handles the entire process so the card arrives looking like you sat down and wrote it yourself, because someone did — in real ink, by hand, with your chosen message inside. You pick the design, write your message, and schedule delivery so it lands before the first day of the new year, which is when these cards carry the most cultural resonance. Whether you are sending one card to a grandparent or fifty to clients and colleagues, each one goes out as a physical, mailed piece — no printing at home, no envelopes to track down, no post office lines.

Frequently Asked
When should I send Lunar New Year cards so they arrive on time?
Aim to have cards delivered by the eve of Lunar New Year, which falls anywhere between January 21 and February 20 depending on the year. To be safe, schedule mailing at least 7–10 days before the holiday date to account for standard USPS transit times, especially if you are sending to rural addresses or across multiple time zones.
What should I actually write inside a Lunar New Year card?
A simple, sincere message works better than a generic greeting. Something like "Wishing you and your family health, good fortune, and a fresh start in the Year of the [animal]" is specific enough to feel thoughtful. If you are close to the recipient, reference something personal — a shared memory from the past year or a hope for the one ahead — rather than leaning entirely on a stock phrase.
Is it appropriate to send Lunar New Year cards to colleagues or business contacts, or is it too personal?
It is entirely appropriate, and for clients or colleagues with Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese, or other East and Southeast Asian heritage, it can be a meaningful gesture that a holiday email simply is not. Keep the message professional but warm, avoid referencing religion, and focus on wishes for health and prosperity — those themes are broadly applicable and culturally fitting across the different communities that celebrate the lunar calendar.
