As the clock approaches the end of 2022 and the start of 2023, many of us are contemplating how to wish our friends and loved ones a happy new year. Although wishing someone with a simple "Have a great year!" is always nice, there are so many other ways of greeting to make it seem more heartfelt and considerate.
Today, I'll give you some tips and inspiration for writing the best New Year wishes for your friends, to get the year off to a great start. No matter if you want to be funny, sincere, or somewhere in between. So grab a pen or your keyboard and start writing!
What You Must Include
First and foremost, it's important to consider the relationship you have with your friend. If you're close, you may want to write a more heartfelt and personal message, while a more casual acquaintance may call for a simpler greeting.
To make your message unique and meaningful, there are a few key aspects you must include when wishing happy new year to your friend.
A heartfelt message: This could be a simple sentence of affection, such as "I love you and I am grateful for your friendship," or it could be a long message about how much your friend means to you and how their presence has impacted your life positively.
Encouragement and hope: Mention the upcoming year and how you plan to spend it while giving your friend some words of encouragement or support. You could write something as simple as "I wish you all the happiness and success you deserve in 2023." You could also bring up a goal or resolution that you know they're working on and wish them good luck in reaching it.
Short and sweet: You should always keep your message concise and to the point, no matter how you choose to do it. Nobody likes a lengthy, rambling message.
A closing statement: There must be a conclusion that conveys your best wishes for the coming year. This could be anything like "Wishing you a happy and healthy 2023," or "Cheers to a fantastic new year!"
Double-check: Last but not least, always double-check your greeting before hitting send. Spend some time proofreading your writing because typos and other errors can be annoying and off-putting.
