Happy New Year

After an eventful year and a busy holiday season, it’s time to begin anew. Yes, it’s time to make good on those New Year's resolutions and bring out your new wall calendar and pocket calendar. Need to get more organized? A planner, either paper or digital, is a great start to keep track of your family's schedule and to-do lists. If you're hosting a New Year's Eve party, see our selection of party invitations and fun party essentials—from cocktail napkins to bottle toppers and champagne glasses—to help you ring in the new year with lots of sparkle. Party guests might want to bring a bottle of bubbly wrapped in festive New Year's bottle bags. Or, if you're recovering after that whirlwind New Year’s Eve party, it’s an ideal time to play “Auld Lang Syne,” cozy up with a warm throw blanket, and veg in front of the TV watching college football bowl games or a feel-good Hallmark movie. New Year’s Day offers all sorts of traditions, from lucky foods to sharing your resolutions. Hallmark has lots of ideas for celebrating the arrival of a brand-new year, from cocktail recipes to party-planning ideas. 

One of the best ways to start the new year is to send your happy New Year’s wishes to friends and family. If you were too harried in December to get those Christmas cards in the mail, it’s not too late to send Happy New Year cards, either individual cards or boxed cards, to all your loved ones.
