When to Send Thanksgiving Cards 2026

To make sure your Thanksgiving cards arrive before the holiday, plan to mail them about one to two weeks before Thanksgiving. Sending your cards early gives friends and family time to enjoy your greeting before the busy holiday season begins and helps your message stand out before December mailboxes fill with Christmas cards. If you're planning a holiday gathering, sending Thanksgiving invitations even earlier gives guests plenty of time to make plans.

Celebrate Beyond Thanksgiving Cards

After Thanksgiving, keep the celebrations going with personalized holiday keepsakes for every occasion. Send Christmas cards, holiday cards, or New Year's cards featuring your favorite family photos, then turn those memories into lasting gifts with custom photo books, canvas prints, and photo Christmas ornaments.
