New Year Card, Christmas Card, or Holiday Card?
If the past few years saw you not sending New Year cards, 2023 is the year to bring that tradition back. New Year photo cards are a cordial and stylish way to get or stay in touch with friends, family, colleagues, and neighbors without breaking the bank. New Year cards are not just a last resort for those who forgot to get Christmas cards in the mail in time for holiday delivery.
There are many reasons you might decide to send a New Year card this year instead of a Christmas or holiday card. One of the biggest advantages of Happy New Year cards is that there’s no rigid etiquette regarding when they have to arrive. Some choose to send New Year cards in early December, and some choose to send them as late as a few weeks after January 1st. New Year cards give you the option of spreading the warmth of the holiday season even after December 25th has passed.
Another possible reason you might prefer New Year’s cards 2023 is to avoid any religious assertions or political implications. You might feel most comfortable sending Happy New Year’s cards knowing that everyone can recognize and celebrate the New Year regardless of what they believe in. You prioritize inclusion, and want to send a card that anyone can enjoy. Or, maybe you really like the ideals behind a New Year celebration. You want to emphasize themes such as happiness, renewal, second chances, goal setting, and healthy self-improvement in your Happy New Year cards.
Perhaps you already knew you weren’t going to be able to send a Christmas card in a timely manner. Maybe the kids were off at college, your dog hasn’t been groomed in a while, and all your group photos are outdated. But you know everyone will finally get together in December for a holiday gathering, and they’ll all be looking their best. If that’s the case, use that time to take the perfect picture for a Happy New Year card. Alternatively, maybe you waited a bit too long to make a Christmas card and you don’t have time to make one before December 25th. You don’t want your loved ones to feel left out, but you just can’t stand the thought of sending a late Christmas card. Or maybe you lost your address list when you spilled coffee on your computer. Now you need to wait to receive holiday cards in order to collect everyone’s addresses.

You won’t have to worry about excluding anyone and can still be a part of the widespread tradition of sending cards to those you care about.

Create Your Unique 2023 New Year Cards
When you begin planning your Minted New Year’s cards, the first choice you’ll have to make is if you want to include pictures. There are advantages to both sides. Choosing a card without a picture may take less time to plan, while a card with one or more photos can seem more personal.
