Frequently Asked Questions
Is it okay to send a sarcastic New Year card to my mom?
Absolutely, if your mom has a great sense of humor and you share that kind of playful, teasing dynamic. It shows a close, comfortable relationship. Avoid it if she tends to take things literally or if you're unsure.
What if my mom doesn't get the sarcasm?
To avoid misunderstanding, pair the sarcastic wish with a genuine, heartfelt note inside the card. Something like 'All jokes aside, I'm so grateful for you. Happy New Year!' This ensures the loving sentiment comes through clearly.
When is the best time to send a New Year card to my mom?
Aim for it to arrive between December 27th and December 31st. This gives her time to receive it before New Year's Day but avoids getting lost in the pre-Christmas mail rush. An e-card can be sent on New Year's Eve itself.
