What people are saying

  • “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.
  • “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 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.
  • “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 sent the first one as a joke and now everyone asks when the next one is coming”
    Patrick E.
  • “I send a few postcards a month to my buddies from college, it’s kind of like a monthly time capsule”

Happy New Year cards: what to write

Name the person, give one moment from this year, add one wish for the next. Borrow a line:

  • Happy New Year, Mom! Here's to more garden tomatoes and fewer moving boxes.
  • Cheers to you, Uncle Dev, and thanks for teaching Mia to ride a bike.
  • New year, same crew. Come see us in the spring?
  • Late for Christmas, early for the new year. Love to you all.
  • Theo lost two teeth this year and found one fossil. Full report at Easter, Grandpa.
  • Here's to another year of Sunday calls, Dad.
  • Wishing you a calm, happy year, Aunt Rosa. Our door is open.

Questions about New Year's cards

Are these folded New Year's cards?

No. Each one is a 4x6 glossy photo postcard with no fold and no envelope. We add the postage and mail it, so you never buy a stamp.

When should you send New Year's cards?

Any time from late December through January is normal. For one to land by New Year's Day, allow up to 15 days, since USPS can run slow in December.

Can I send a New Year's card instead of a Christmas card?

Yes. A New Year's card suits everyone on your list, whatever they celebrate, and it carries the same holiday photos and news.

What should I write in a New Year's card?

One moment from the past year, one wish for the next, and the names of who's in the photos. Two or three short lines fill the back.

Can I make New Year photo cards with more than one picture?

Yes. The front holds one to four photos: one full card, two side by side, one tall plus two stacked, or a 2x2 grid.

How much do New Year's cards cost to mail?

$9.99 for one card, $34.99 for five and $59.99 for ten, printing and postage included, with free shipping on every order.
