Chic one-liners for New Year’s cards! Message ideas that grade-schoolers will love (1–10)
Wishing for a year filled with lots of laughter!
Here’s a lovely message that wishes for both of us to have a fun new year.
The word “laugh” can suggest both “smiling” and “lots of joyful moments.” Sending this phrase can give the impression that the time we spend together will become even more wonderful.
It’s a short message, but it’s perfect for the start of the year, so consider writing it in your New Year’s card.
May you find lots of fun things.
It’s a simple message that wishes for happy times, yet it clearly shows you care about the other person.
If someone is spending the New Year feeling down and they read these words on a New Year’s card, the kindness will surely warm their heart.
Of course, it also conveys the hope that those who are enjoying themselves will have even more wonderful days ahead.
Life has its unpleasant moments and its fun ones, but having lots of enjoyable times really does give us energy, doesn’t it!
I’d be really happy if we could become even closer!
How about a cute message that says, “We’re already close now, but I hope we get even closer next year”? If someone saw that on a New Year’s card, it would surely make them happy.
Being close only works when both people care for, cherish, and respect each other.
Let your New Year’s card carry your feelings so you can keep that relationship going.
It’s a perfect message not only for close friends but also for someone you’d like to grow closer to in the future.
They say good fortune comes to a smiling home!
This message incorporates the proverb often heard in everyday conversation, “Good fortune comes to a home filled with laughter.” It means that happiness naturally comes to a household where laughter never ceases.
It conveys the wish that the recipient of the New Year’s card will always be smiling and be happy.
Using a proverb instead of stating it directly is stylish, isn’t it? Ending the sentence with something like “so I’ve heard!” gives it a childlike, friendly feel.
Try writing it with a gentle ending.
Let’s spend wonderful time together again this year!
This message conveys a close bond and strongly expresses the wish to keep spending time together.
Seeing the words “wonderful time” brings back memories of the moments you’ve shared so far, which is lovely.
As you recall those fun times, you can think, “What should we do next?”—creating time to dream ahead.
I think you can even give the gift of those heartwarming moments.
When sending a New Year’s card to a close friend, be sure to use this message to say, “I love you!” and share how you feel.
Let’s help each other a lot again this year.
How about a slightly more mature, help-each-other themed message? It’s perfect to send to classmates or teammates you usually cooperate with.
These words seem to convey both gratitude for the help you’ve given me and a wish that we’ll continue to be irreplaceable to each other.
Add this message to New Year’s cards for friends and teammates you want to stay close with, and may the new year be filled with thoughtful, wonderful days for you both.
Here’s to another year that shines bright!
The choice of the word “kirari” is stylish and evokes a bright future.
How about sending this word with the hope that the new year will shine brilliantly? What “kirari” means may differ from person to person, but your wish for a wonderful year will come through clearly.
It can also be taken as a message of encouragement to keep doing our best together.
It’s an easy message to send to anyone, so it’s handy when you’re not sure what to write!
