Questions
What do you write in a new year card for a friend?
A New Year card for a friend looks both ways — thanks for the year behind, warmth for the one ahead. The strongest messages name one specific, true thing about them and say plainly how you feel — keep it short and it lands harder.
How long should a new year message be?
One to three sentences is plenty. A short, specific line beats a long, generic paragraph — people remember the detail, not the word count.
