The inscription happy new year is beautiful. How to sign a New Year's card? New Year's greetings on letterhead or special paper

New Year getting closer and closer. It's time to think about what to write in New Year's cards. Of course, you can simply subscribe to the text printed on the card, but I want to congratulate friends and acquaintances in a special way. What if you write them a New Year's greeting on English language? Your friends who also learn English will definitely appreciate it.

Happy Holidays in English

It is worth noting that in English-speaking countries, more and more often people write “Happy Holidays” (Happy holidays), and not “Merry Christmas” (Merry Christmas). The thing is that in some religions it is not customary to celebrate Christmas. So sometimes it's better to play it safe and write a neutral "Happy Holidays" in a postcard in English.

How can you say Happy Holidays in English?

Have a merry Christmas!- Merry Christmas!
have a happy New Year! - Happy New Year!
I wish you an enjoyable Christmas holiday! I wish you a pleasant Christmas holidays!
I wish you a pleasant holiday season! I wish you a glorious holiday season!
Have a good New Year holiday!- Have a good New Year's holidays!
I wish you the best of luck in the New Year.– I wish you good luck in the New Year!

Expression of gratitude in English

In December, it's time to say thank you to all those who have been with you all year. Thank your loved ones, friends and colleagues for their support and understanding in the past year. To do this, you may need the following phrases:

Thanks for helping me.- Thank you for helping me.
Thanks for being there for me.- Thank you for being with me.
I thank you so much for your kindness. – Thank you very much for your kindness.
I am grateful for your kindness and company this holiday season.“This holiday season, I am grateful for your kindness and company.
We send you many thanks and much love for this holiday.- We send you a lot of gratitude and love on this holiday.

Declarations of love in English

Everyone loves to know that they are loved and appreciated. Of course, not every person should declare their love in English in a New Year's card. But you can always write that you appreciate those who are nearby. Feel free to write what positive emotions you feel for this person.

I appreciate what you've done for me.“I appreciate what you have done for me.
I am lucky to have a friend like you. I am happy that I have a friend like you.
You always help me when I'm in trouble You always help me when I'm in trouble.
I'm glad that we could spend time together. I'm glad we spent time together.
I'm glad that I met you.- I'm glad I met you.

Wishes in English

Not a single New Year's card in English can do without wishes. Here you can turn on your imagination to its fullest! Well, if you can’t think of anything at all, refer to our list.

You may wish, for example:

Love- Love
long life- long life
Peace- world
Health- health
Happiness- happiness
Joy- joy
success– success
Prosperity- prosperity
Cheer- fun
Warmth- warmth
Laughter- laughter

It all sounds very positive, right? But how do you combine all these beautiful words in one sentence? You can, for example, write such New Year's greetings in English:

  • May your family feel the love, peace, and joy that come with the spirit of Christmas. May your family feel the love, peace and joy that comes with the spirit of Christmas.
  • Sending warm wishes to you and your family during this Christmas Season. May your home be blessed with love and happiness. We send warm wishes to you and your family this Christmas season. May your home be blessed with love and happiness.
  • I hope your holiday is filled with plenty of warmth, love, cheer, and happiness.– I hope that your holiday is filled with warmth, love, joy and happiness.

  • With Christmas come faith, hope, and love. I wish all these things for you and your family during the holiday season. With Christmas comes faith, hope and love. I wish you and your family all this in the holiday season.
  • From our home to yours, we wish you a Christmas that is joyful and warm.– From our home to yours, we wish your Christmas to be merry and warm.
  • Sending love and plenty of Christmas cheer to you and your beautiful family. Sending love and lots of Christmas merriment to you and your lovely family.

Christmas signature in English

Everyone, of course, remembers that at the end you need to write your name. And what if we add a little holiday to a banal signature? Try to end your New Year's greetings in English with the following words:

wishing you joy,- With wishes of joy,
warmest wishes,- Warmest regards,
peace and love,- With love and peace,
as always with affection,- As always with love,

After such a signature, it is doubly pleasant to write your name, isn't it?

In fact, you can write a lot in postcards in English for the New Year and Christmas. Don't be afraid to thank people, promise to call them more often in the New Year, or ask for forgiveness for disappearing so often. After all, the most important thing is that such words come from the heart. Well, here is our New Year's wish to all of you:

Happy holidays! We hope that the Christmas season will fill your home with the warmth and joyfulness that you and your family deserve. We appreciate that you've been with us this year. We wish you the best of luck in the New Year.
warmest wishes,
Begin English

On the eve of the New Year and Christmas, one of the most responsible tasks of the secretary is to prepare gifts and wishes for partners and clients of the company. In the article we will tell you how to arrange souvenirs in a corporate style, what types of congratulations are better to use - electronic or paper, we will give examples of successful and unsuccessful texts of business congratulatory letters.

To congratulate partners and clients on New Year and Christmas is the most important tradition and rule of business etiquette.

The New Year holidays are an excellent opportunity to demonstrate a high corporate culture, the company's reliability, and attentive attitude towards representatives of various organizations.

A well-composed and timely sent New Year's greeting will pleasantly surprise partners and customers, remind you of the important results of your cooperation.

NEW YEAR AND CHRISTMAS IN RUSSIA AND ABROAD

The New Year is widely celebrated in Russia and in many countries of the world. But holidays coincide only in some of them. If according to the Gregorian calendar, the New Year begins on January 1, then according to the eastern one, which is followed, for example, by China, Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Mongolia, in the interval from January 21 to February 20.

In countries with the Persian calendar (Tajikistan, Iran, Pakistan, Afghanistan), the New Year is celebrated from 21 to 22 March. And in India there are several similar holidays that fall on different days per year (February, April, May, October).

Christmas, unlike the New Year, is an exclusively Christian holiday. According to the Catholic tradition, it is celebrated on December 25, and according to the Orthodox tradition, on January 7.

In the Catholic countries of Europe (Germany, Austria, France, etc.), just before Christmas, a huge number of fairs open, people carefully choose and pack Christmas gifts. New Year in Europe is celebrated much more modestly.

When composing postcards, consider the dates and sequence of the holidays mentioned. For example, write "Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!" in congratulations for Orthodox partners; "Merry christmas and a happy new year!" - in congratulations for representatives of the Catholic faith.

Since these holidays follow each other, it is quite enough to send one congratulation.

WHEN TO PREPARE GIFTS AND SEND GREETINGS

It is better to prepare gifts and postcards for partners and counterparties in advance so as not to be nervous again due to untimely delivery on the eve of the holidays.

If you decide to give your customers useful memorable souvenirs with the company logo (thermo mugs, blankets, cooler bags, etc.), order branding gifts a month and a half before the holidays - there are a lot of orders in printing houses in the New Year period.

To save time and money on logoing, you can order stickers with the logo of the organization and place them on all gifts and envelopes. Branding will give gifts a finished look and help identify the sender. Sticker designs can be customized.

For new year celebrations also useful stickers for gift bottles. Due to this decision, you can save money on buying New Year's versions of champagne. Bottle with company logo and new year wishes will look no worse than bought in a store and will cost less.

Many companies want to please their partners just before the holiday - December 29-30. But if during this period the courier service is overloaded, then you will have to forget about timely congratulations. To avoid overlaps, start looking for addresses for delivering gifts and cards in advance - about a week before sending. In Russian companies, it is customary to start sending congratulations on the 20th of December.

If your organization is limited to email greeting cards, you can send them December 28-30.

WHO TO BE INCLUDED IN THE LIST OF ADDRESSES

WITH new year holidays it is customary to congratulate foreign and Russian partners, suppliers, VIP clients and regular customers, directors and heads of branches (Example 1). If you need addresses of organizations or branches to send congratulations, check them in advance.

HOW TO MAKE A NEW YEAR'S GREETINGS

The first thing that people pay attention to when receiving New Year's greetings is its design. Even the most original wish it is important to present well.

In many modern organizations, a special internal corporate document has been developed - a brand book, which contains a guideline section that regulates the use of the main elements of the brand's corporate identity (logo, color combinations, etc.). For example, at Kaspersky Lab, green and red are considered corporate colors. They must be present on holiday cards and New Year's packaging gifts from this company.

If your organization has not developed a brand book and there are no requirements for the design of New Year's cards, then choose colors for decoration based on your preferences.

Consider the most common ways to design New Year's greetings.

New Year's greetings on letterhead or special paper

This is perhaps the simplest and least creative way. Letters of congratulations, drawn up on a letterhead, may contain the following details in accordance with GOST R 6.30 - 2003 “Unified Documentation Systems. Unified system of organizational and administrative documentation. Documentation Requirements:

. "National emblem Russian Federation»;

. "Coat of arms of the subject of the Russian Federation";

. "Organization emblem or trademark (service mark)";

. "Name of the structural unit - the author of the document";

. "Reference data about the organization";

. "Document date";

. "Document registration number";

. "Destination";

. "Heading to the text";

. "Signature", etc.

Letters of congratulations are in free form. Their length varies from one or two sentences to several extended paragraphs.

Such letters can be drawn up not only on letterheads of the organization (Example 2), but also on special paper of various shades, decorated with ornaments, watermarks, having a high density, etc. (Example 3).

New Year's card handmade

Despite the fact that modern organizations in most cases use e-mail for internal and external communications, it is more pleasant for many to receive a beautiful paper postcard. This way of congratulations becomes a rarity and is valued more against the backdrop of paper correspondence losing its relevance.

When choosing a New Year's card, pay attention to its design. A few years ago, there was a huge selection of postcards with gold embossing, sparkles, raised letters in stores. Now a more concise style is relevant. Postcards are popular self made using environmentally friendly materials (kraft paper, twine, vegetable paints, etc.). Such a card will make it clear to the client or partner that you have prepared a gift especially for him.

Handmade postcards are most often sold in specialized stores, flower shops. They can also be ordered from various masters, for example, on the site-aggregator "Fair of Masters" - livemaster.ru.

Personal experience

Last year, our training center ordered handmade postcards to congratulate partners and clients. Each of them was unique. We just pasted the wishes and sent postcards to the recipients. And in response received words of admiration and gratitude. For example: “Thank you very much for the congratulations and souvenirs! We are touched by your attention, cordial attitude and look forward to continued cooperation!”

New Year's e-mail

Its design corresponds to the theme of the holiday. IN new year letter you can add an image of a branded christmas hat, Christmas decorations, gifts.

Best of all, professional designers will cope with the development of design for the New Year's mailing list, who will create a style according to your wishes.

When adding text to a congratulatory email, use universal fonts - Arial, Courier, Georgia, Tahoma, Times New Roman, Verdana so that the recipient can read the message both from a computer monitor and from a tablet or smartphone.

New Year e-card

This is the most convenient way to congratulate. Making an e-card is easy. It will take about 10 minutes to make.

To design an e-card you will need:

Adobe Photoshop is a multifunctional graphics editor. You can install it or use the online version of the program.

New Year's card template from the Internet, on which you need to apply text in online photo editors, for example picmonkey.com, avatan.ru.

In the photo editor, you can add the necessary filters, change the color and size of the font to make the postcard more attractive. Save the finished postcard on your computer and send it with an email.

You don't have to use a template for an e-card. It can be developed independently on one of the special sites, for example canva.com.

When registering on the site, the resource developers offer to take a two-minute master class on creating online postcards. It will allow you to understand how to use the functionality of the site.

Creating a postcard is best to start with choosing a background, and then move on to graphic elements and text. If you need to add an image to a postcard, for example, a Christmas tree, enter the word "tree" in the search bar, and the site will display options for illustrations.

Some features on the site are paid, to use them you need to subscribe. However, even free services and pictures allow you to create a stylish and concise new year card. It must be saved and attached to an email congratulatory letter.

STRUCTURE OF A BUSINESS CONGRATULATION LETTER

Like all business letters, a congratulatory business letter has a certain structure, but not all of its elements are required.

A congratulatory letter is drawn up in free form, and each organization decides for itself what to include in it. If the recipients of congratulations differ in status and rank, then the secretary prepares several texts of congratulations.

Consider the words and phrases that are most characteristic of a business congratulatory letter.

Address and greeting:

. "Dear (th) ..!";

. "Dear Colleagues!";

. "Dear Colleagues!".

Reason for writing the letter:

. “From the bottom of our hearts we congratulate you on the coming New Year!”;

. "Accept my sincere congratulations Happy New Year and Merry Christmas!”;

. On behalf of our team, we wish you a Happy New Year!

Holiday Meaning:

. "The New Year is everyone's favorite and joyful holiday, filled with hopes and faith in the future";

. "The New Year is the time of a beautiful, kind fairy tale that comes at the end of each year";

. “The New Year is both a holiday and a good occasion to take stock and set new goals.”

Characteristics of the outgoing year (significant changes and significant events in the life of the organization):

. “The head of the council of the Strogino district of the city of Moscow V.V. Konovalov.

Based on the above structure, you can compose texts of New Year's greetings for company employees, partners, customers, managers (see Appendix).

ERRORS IN A BUSINESS CONGRATULATION LETTER

A congratulatory New Year's letter is drawn up in any form, but taking into account the requirements of an official business style. Therefore, for congratulations, it is better not to use:

  • Banal poems found on the Internet. It is unlikely that your partner or client will like congratulations without individual approach. Therefore, if your organization still prefers a poetic form, then it is more correct to compose a text using the name of your company and mentioning significant events from its life. Such works can be ordered on freelance sites, for example youdo.com, workzilla.com.
  • Slang and colloquial words. They are appropriate in the texts of congratulations for relatives and friends, but are not suitable for business congratulatory letters.

Do not use highly professional vocabulary and abbreviations, as well as the words "super", "cool", etc. in the texts of congratulations.

The main thing is to show respect for partners and clients, share your warmth and festive mood with them.

With all our hearts, we wish the secretaries and assistant managers good luck in compiling New Year's business congratulations, as well as response letters with gratitude and best wishes!

The inscription on the New Year's gift dedicated to this or that person makes it special and memorable. A correctly and beautifully signed present will surely bring a lot of positive emotions. This kind of inscriptions are of several types, for example, with a share of humor, solemn or pretentious. The most important thing when signing a New Year's gift is to take into account some of the nuances of this process and not offend a person with your congratulatory inscription.

original inscriptions

New Year's congratulatory inscriptions should be creative. In this case, it is not necessary to make inscriptions in poetic form. Such wishes can be written personally from oneself, but when there is no desire to invent something new, ready-made quatrains, templates and wishes can be used. Today, finding congratulations for the New Year is not difficult. But of course To make the gift more memorable, the signing process is best done creatively.

Hide your sincere wishes you can by making a special card and covering it acrylic paint. Get the effect of an instant lottery when man will find wishes under a hidden layer to be erased. Step by step it looks like this.

  • You need to make a card with a heart, a diamond, or any shape you like and cover it with acrylic paint. Wait until dry.
  • Then, in equal proportions, you should mix acrylic paint with dishwashing liquid and again cover the figure with the resulting mixture.
  • Next, write your wishes on the card and cover them with hygienic feminine lipstick. Finally, everything should be coated once more with acrylic paint, but without a detergent composition.
  • Congratulations are ready. To read it, it is enough to erase the protective layer.

Such cards can be tied to gifts like tags or placed inside boxes.

Original congratulations can be a card signed in beautiful calligraphy. It is often very difficult to make such an inscription on your own, but having found some patterns, you can practice.

Signatures for a child

For a gift for a child, it is best to give a postcard with beautiful picture and a small congratulations written by hand. Children especially love to see various cartoon characters or New Year's heroes on postcards. It's not so much the signature as the image itself that matters.

A musical children's card with a beautiful signature in calligraphic handwriting can also become an original gift. Congratulations on a postcard or a tag can be written using luminous pens or paints. The child will be delighted! If for the New Year a gift for a child is hidden in Christmas sock, then congratulations can be embroidered on it.

Another great option for congratulations on the New Year can be engraving. Especially if the gift is chosen for a loved one. Engraving is performed on almost all metallized items that can be given as a gift. On key chains, bracelets, lighters, flasks and more. For example, if a pen comes as a gift, then right on it you can engrave with your wishes. A pocket mirror, the protective part of which is made of metal, can also be suitable for engraving.

Gift tags

Tags are the most popular for congratulations of both the fair sex and men of all ages. Tags are also used for New Year's gifts intended for a child. New Year's tags, if desired, can be made independently, this does not require a lot of effort, or they can be purchased ready-made. The tags in the form of Christmas trees and cones, as well as in the form of gifts, look original. Small bows, dried flowers and even spruce branches are often attached to the tags.

To decorate a vintage gift and create a beautiful inscription on it, you can wrap the gift in letter paper and write a couple of lines on it using contrasting black or white paint. However, this option is best used for square or square gifts. rectangular shape. Then a gift ready congratulations on it you can immediately place under the Christmas tree.

The original New Year's inscription can be placed on a mug, towel, plate or T-shirt. IN Lately such souvenirs-gifts are especially in demand among young people. If you want to donate money, then you can do it in an unusual way by placing them in a helium balloon, and already on the balloon you can order your own New Year's signature with congratulations.

To make the ball look even more festive, you can add confetti to the money.

Maybe your grandmother or grandfather from a nursing home will be your addressee, maybe a young person with a disability, or maybe old people living at home in the village, whom he comes to twice a week Social worker, because they themselves can not walk to the store and also barely make ends meet.

It is important that your postcard pleases any of these recipients.

When choosing cards, make sure that inappropriate wishes or poems are not printed inside (with an appeal to “you”, wishes for home comfort, love for loved ones and financial success). This can hurt grandparents, left without loved ones and their own home.

Instead of addressing, you can just say hello: “Hello! Happy New Year!" After all, we don’t know whether your postcard will go to your grandmother or to your grandfather, or to one of the disabled who go to boarding schools from the age of 18.

Wishes - at your discretion: you can always wish vivacity, optimism, health, respect and smiles of others. Gentle sun outside the window, good news. Of course, you can write suitable poems from the Internet.

DO NOT write about visiting relatives more often (some do not have them, and grandparents cannot influence someone, although they yearn for them), you should not write wishes “to do what you love, travel, find out every day what something new” (some people can’t even get out of bed). Also, please DO NOT invite recipients to think about their sins and redemption, about repentance and the like. Moral teachings and advice on how to live on are unacceptable.

It is very good to say a few words about yourself: grandparents are always interested in who writes to them. Literally a phrase or two or three: my name is ..., I work in this or that city in such and such a specialty, unfortunately I cannot come to visit, but I want to congratulate you ...

It is better to subscribe not on behalf of a charitable foundation, not from a company or educational institution but with your own name.

Involving children in signing postcards is great, but the child’s drawing should not be instead of, but along with a postcard signed by an adult. For example: my daughter Vika also wants to congratulate you, she is in the fifth grade and loves her grandmother very much, and she drew a picture for you as a gift.
