Happy New Year Cards for 2026

We Were Late to Order Our Holiday Cards this Year—What Are My Options?

If you missed the window for holiday cards, New Year cards are a perfect solution. They can be sent any time after Christmas through the end of January, giving your business a fresh opportunity to connect with clients and colleagues. New Year cards stand out in the mail since most holiday cards have already been received, making your message even more memorable.

And, don’t forget about Valentine’s Day on February 14th! Another great opportunity show customers, employees, and loved ones just how much they mean to you.

How Do I Design My Own New Year Card for 2026?

Create personalized Happy New Year cards using any one of our designs as templates or upload your own design. Add a custom message, graphics, signatures, and your company name or logo. You can also feature photos to share personal and professional memories with others. Our beautiful New Year’s photo cards are printed on your choice of paper and come with free peel-and-seal envelopes! All of our cards also come with a pre-selected verse, but you can switch it out with another from our database or create your own.

Now, you can easily customize the colors of many of our holiday card designs with a simple click using our Color Select wheel. If this feature is available, you'll see a vibrant icon in the bottom right corner of the product. Once you’ve chosen your product, just click on the colored circles at the top to select your preferred options. We also offer additional elements for our New Year greeting card designs, such as foil, embossing, laser-cut cards, and die-cut cards.

What Types of Imagery Should I Include On My New Year Cards?

New Year card designs can range from sleek and professional to festive and celebratory. CardsDirect offers everything from modern, minimalist styles with dark backgrounds and elegant typography to traditional New Year elements like fireworks, champagne glasses, clocks, and confetti. Choose imagery that aligns with your brand voice—whether it's refined and business-like or cheerful and bold.
