New Year Card for Your Partner

Send a New Year card they open on their phone: a gift box, bubble wrap or a burst of confetti, with a photo from the year that was and your wish for the one ahead. Make it now and share the link at midnight, or seal it so it can't open before then.

A private card for the person you're starting the year with. Seal it until midnight and hand them the link on New Year's Eve, or send it the morning of January 1.

Questions

What should I write in a New Year card?

One line about the year that was (something specific you shared), one wish for the year ahead, and your name. For a partner or a close friend, add a photo from this year. Keep it short enough to read at a party.

Can I make it open at midnight?

Yes. Set an unlock time and the link stays sealed with a countdown until then; the 'Sealed until midnight' option pre-fills 00:00 on January 1, 2027 in your time zone. You still share the link yourself; it is not sent automatically.

Can I send one card to everyone?

Yes. One link can be shared with the whole family or the group chat, or make a separate card for each person so it feels one-to-one. Each card comes from one sender; there is no group signing.

Is it free?

Yes. Free to make, send and open, with no signup or app for either of you.

How long does the link last?

The gift and its link stay until the sender deletes it; photos and voice messages are deleted 30 days after creation, and the gift then opens without them. If you seal a photo card until midnight, make it in December so the photo is still there.

Other ways to send a New Year card
