What people are saying

  • “I sent one to my best friend after she moved across the country and now we’re obsessed. We talk all the time but getting real pics is totally different.”
    Georgia K.
  • “I sent the first one as a joke and now everyone asks when the next one is coming”
    Patrick E.
  • “I’ve been sending postcards back and forth with some long distance friends and I genuinely forgot how fun it is to get something in the mail that isn’t a bill lol”
    Steven G.
  • “My parents love my postcards and I never would have done it without Familyletter, I don’t think I have ever even bought a stamp before. Love it and will keep using them!”
    Tricia M.
  • “I visited my grandparents last week and it was awesome to see their fridge covered with my postcards! They seem to really appreciate them”
    Eric S.
  • “This is such a good “thinking of you” gift, it feels way more intentional than sending a text”
    Alex U.
  • “My boyfriend and I are long distance and this hits completely different than texting pictures. We already FaceTime constantly so having an actual picture of him on my desk feels less digital.”
    Claire O.
  • “I send a few postcards a month to my buddies from college, it’s kind of like a monthly time capsule”

What our Hanukkah cards look like

Each card is a glossy 4x6 postcard. Up to four photos fill the front: the menorah in the window, the dreidel game, the latke line.

The back opens on a Stars pattern with a menorah and a Happy Hanukkah! banner. Swap in a dreidel or gelt, or start plain.

Happy Hanukkah cards for family a flight away

Grandparents across the country, a kid at college: one card is a whole order, and ten can go to ten addresses.

Aim for the first night. With eight nights, a card that lands on night four still arrives mid-holiday.

Each card in an order has its own design, so Bubbe gets the menorah and Grandma Pat the tree. See Christmas and Hanukkah postcards together.

For the fall holidays, the same builder makes Rosh Hashanah cards.

What to write in a Hanukkah greeting card

Hanukkah greeting cards can be short. Happy Hanukkah is always right, and chag sameach is Hebrew for happy holiday.

Chag urim sameach means happy Festival of Lights. Then add one real line from this year:

  • Happy Hanukkah, Bubbe. Eli lit the shamash himself this year, with a little help.
  • Chag sameach, Grandpa Sol! We used your old menorah and saved you a latke. Well, half.

Funny Hanukkah cards start with a real photo

The funniest card is usually true: the toddler losing to a dreidel, the dog staring at the latkes. Keep the joke to one line.

  • Night three report: Noa has won all the gelt and is now charging interest.
  • Latkes made: 41. Smoke alarms set off: 2. Happy Hanukkah!

When to order for the first night

Hanukkah is Dec 4. To be safe, order by Nov 19.

Most cards arrive in 5 to 10 business days: we print within 1 to 2 business days, then it travels by USPS First-Class Mail. We can’t guarantee a delivery date.

Hanukkah card questions

Is it a folded card in an envelope?

No. It's a 4x6 glossy photo postcard: your photos on the front, your note and the address on the back. There's no envelope and no stamp. We mail it.

What do you say on a Hanukkah card?

Happy Hanukkah plus one line of news from your year. Chag sameach, Hebrew for happy holiday, works too.

Is it appropriate to send a Hanukkah card?

Yes, to someone who celebrates Hanukkah. If you're not sure whether they do, a Happy holidays card is the safer choice.

When should I mail Hanukkah cards?

Allow up to 15 days before the first night, since USPS can run slow in the holiday season. The date moves every year; this page shows this year's order-by date.
