Holiday messages

The big days of the British calendar all come with a card to write. This section collects messages for Christmas and New Year, Valentine's Day, Mothering Sunday, Easter and International Women's Day.

You will find wording for family, partners, friends, neighbours and colleagues, short lines for a quick text and longer notes for a card that will sit on the mantelpiece. We publish seasonal guides early, so you have time to post your cards before the last Royal Mail dates.
