Sending Easter cards is a great way to get in touch with your family members you haven’t seen since the holiday season, and let them know how you and your family have been doing since you last saw them. With Shutterfly, creating personalized Easter cards with your favorite photos and messages is easy and an excellent way to get into the spring Easter spirit.
When is Easter?
Easter is always celebrated in the spring and on a Sunday, but the specific date changes from year to year. This year, Easter falls on Sunday, April 20, 2025. Commemorating the resurrection of Christ, Easter is celebrated on the first Sunday of the first full moon after the spring equinox, also known as the Paschal full moon. Once the first full moon of the spring equinox is set, the other Easter holidays are determined thereafter. Easter is always the Sunday after Good Friday, which is another Christian holiday celebrated by millions of families throughout the world.
When To Send Out Easter Cards
It’s best to send out Easter cards roughly 2-3 weeks before Easter Sunday. This allows your card recipients to receive their Easter cards before Easter Sunday. It’s always better to have your Easter card arrive a little earlier than the holiday than to have the card arrive after the holiday. When your friends and family finally open their Easter cards that you sent then, they will appreciate your thought of them during this special holiday.
