Nothing matches. Try a shorter word, or choose All.
Before midnight or after?
At midnight on 31 December everyone's phone is flooded, and most wishes go unread. A wish sent on the afternoon of the 31st, or on the calm morning of 1 January, gets attention. For people abroad, send by their clock.
Make it yours
- Look back first: one thing you are grateful to the person for in the year that is ending.
- Then one real hope for them in the new year: the exam, the house, the health, the baby.
- For a year that was hard on them: do not pretend it was not. "It was a rough one. I hope the new year goes easier on you. I am around."
New Year wishes at work
To clients, customers and seniors, thank them for the past year's trust and wish them well, in two or three lines, signed with your name and firm. Send it individually where you can. A mass message with someone else's name left at the bottom does more harm than no wish.
Other new years
India has several. Baisakhi, Ugadi, Gudi Padwa, Puthandu, Vishu, Poila Boishakh, Bestu Varas after Diwali and others each begin a year for their communities. If a friend keeps one of these, a wish on that day is noticed and remembered.
What to avoid
- Resolutions suggested for other people.
- Long forwards with the year's numbers arranged cleverly.
Make it yours
- For clients and seniors, thank them for the year past before wishing for the next.
- Skip the long forwards at midnight. A two line wish written for one person is remembered.
