FAQs on Lunar New Year Cards

What Is The Animal For The Lunar New Year 2024?

As the Lunar New Year 2024 approaches, it heralds the year of the Dragon, a symbol of power, honor, success, and authority in the Chinese zodiac. The Dragon year inspires creative Chinese New Year cards that capture the essence of this majestic creature. Embrace the tradition and share the spirit of the dragon with loved ones near and far through Postable's diverse collection of Lunar New Year cards, each one beautifully conveying the power and prosperity associated with one of the most revered signs in the zodiac.

What Is The Next Chinese New Year Animal 2025?

The Chinese New Year of 2025 will be the year of the Snake, an animal that in Chinese culture symbolizes wisdom, intelligence, and creativity. As we transition into this enchanting new year, it's the perfect opportunity to send Lunar New Year cards that embody the Snake's graceful and enigmatic spirit. With Postable's diverse selection of Chinese New Year cards, you can effortlessly share this profound symbolism and extend your heartfelt wishes for a year of insightful transformations and serendipitous opportunities to those you cherish.

What Is An Appropriate Lunar New Year Greeting?

An appropriate Lunar New Year greeting often encapsulates wishes of prosperity, health, and happiness for the upcoming year. Here are some examples of greetings you might include in your Chinese New Year cards:

  • "Wishing you a year of abundant wealth and prosperity."
  • "May health, wealth, and happiness follow you throughout the Year of the Snake."
  • "Gong Xi Fa Cai! Hope the days ahead are filled with immense joy and prosperity."
  • "Happy Lunar New Year! May peace and success be with you in every way."
  • "Sending you good fortune and blessings for the Lunar New Year."
  • "Cheers to a new year of opportunities and adventures. Happy Lunar New Year!"

Each of these greetings is a way to show thoughtfulness and respect, aligning perfectly with the festive and hopeful spirit of the Chinese New Year celebrations.

What To Do On Lunar New Year For Luck?

To usher in luck for the Lunar New Year, many traditions and activities are observed with enthusiasm. One of the most common practices is cleaning the house before the New Year, symbolically sweeping away bad luck to make room for incoming good fortune. Homes are often decorated with red lanterns, banners, and couplets bearing auspicious phrases to attract prosperity. On New Year's Eve, families gather for a reunion dinner, a feast replete with symbolic dishes such as fish, to represent abundance, and dumplings, symbolizing wealth due to their gold ingot-like shape.

Another way to invite luck is by giving and receiving red envelopes, known as 'hongbao', filled with money. These are usually given to children and unmarried adults, and the red color of the envelopes is believed to ward off evil spirits. Wearing new clothes, particularly in red, the color of luck and joy in Chinese culture, is also encouraged. Additionally, lighting fireworks or firecrackers at midnight is a traditional way to scare away evil spirits and bring about a lucky and prosperous new year. Engaging in these time-honored practices is thought to set a positive tone for the year to come.
