A little note to add to your New Year’s cards! A collection of message ideas that will make you smile (21–30)
May it be a fulfilling year for both of us.
So that we can say at year’s end that it was a good year, we all want to spend fulfilling days again this year.
Will you throw yourself into your work, savor your hobbies, or make lots of memories with your family? Fulfillment looks different for everyone, but it’s always filled with plenty of joyful moments.
Why not add this short message to your New Year’s card, wishing for days that make the year feel short because they’re so rich? Since it says “for both of us,” make sure you, too, don’t fall behind—have a wonderful year yourself.
May many moments come when we can spend time together with smiles.
It’s exactly the kind of message you want to send to a friend who has shared both your joys and your hardships.
Life brings good times and bad.
That’s why it’s wonderful when the moments we can spend smiling last even a second longer.
But those who didn’t have a great year may find it hard to face the new year positively.
In times like that, a kind message from you, their friend, might ease their heart a little.
Write these words on your New Year’s card so the coming year overflows with smiles, and so we can support each other.
Let’s make it a year where we never stop smiling at each other!
As the saying goes, “Good fortune comes to a smiling home,” a smile is believed to attract happiness.
If you strive to keep smiling throughout the year, great happiness may shower upon your friends.
With that wish in mind, please share these words with someone dear to you.
The bright tone conveys energy and can gift them a feeling that a joyful New Year is on the way.
If we both keep smiling, will the effect double through synergy? Wishing you a year so enjoyable that smiles come naturally.
Let’s make it a great year for both of us!
“Let’s make it a wonderful year all the way through!”—it’s a warm message, isn’t it? Wishing for a good year is a classic phrase for New Year’s cards.
But because it says “together,” it conveys not only closeness but also the sense of being teammates working toward the same goal.
Try sending it to friends you consider comrades, like classmates you cooperate with regularly or teammates from a club.
Put your feelings and thoughts into this short phrase.
I hope lots of exciting things happen.
Doesn’t the start of a new year alone make you feel excited? It’s hard to imagine anyone not wondering what the coming year will be like.
So here’s a little phrase to boost that excitement even more.
This message carries the hope that you’ll have a fun-filled year and that lots of delightful things will happen for your friends.
It’s the perfect line for the New Year, so if you like, send it to a close friend!
Let’s make lots of fun memories together!
Time spent with your dearest friends is truly irreplaceable, isn’t it? How about adding this message to your New Year’s card? Simply being together creates wonderful memories, but if the two of you discover something fun to share, I’m sure it will become an even more amazing time.
It might even turn into an unforgettable memory of a lifetime.
As you imagine those special moments with your friends, try writing a message.
From that very moment, your joyful and fulfilling days will begin.
May gentle times come your way again this year.
Gentle moments that nourish the heart are essential in life, aren’t they? Not only being treated kindly by others, but also taking good care of yourself can become precious time that soothes a tired mind and body.
How about adding some heartfelt words to your New Year’s card, wishing for such moments to come? It’s a message that conveys your concern and your hope that they enjoy peaceful days.
Since many people are busy around the New Year, please use your card to remind them: “Take good care of yourself.”
