Passover cards for a joyful seder and a sweet holiday
Passover, or Pesach, commemorates the Exodus, the liberation of the Israelites from slavery in Egypt. It begins with the seder, a festive meal where families retell the story from the Haggadah, eat matzah and bitter herbs, drink four cups of wine, and invite children to ask the four questions. It is a holiday of memory, freedom and family.

Passover cards go to parents, grandparents, cousins and friends, especially those who will be at a different seder table this year. The traditional greeting is Chag Pesach Sameach, a happy Passover festival, often shortened to Chag Sameach. Many people add hopes for freedom, renewal and a meaningful, kosher holiday.
What to write inside
Pick a message to start from. It goes straight into your card, and you can change every word.
Design idea
Photograph your seder plate or a stack of matzah on a linen cloth, crop it square, and choose "Details" so the plate's edges and lettering turn to silver foil on white paper. For a warm family scene, use a photo of the table with "Shadows" in gold foil on cream and add a foil border.

Questions
What is the right greeting for a Passover card?
Chag Pesach Sameach, meaning happy Passover holiday, is the traditional greeting, and Chag Sameach is a common short form. Happy Passover is perfectly fine too. Some people also wish a kosher and happy Passover, especially to observant friends.
When should I send a Passover card?
Send it a few days before the first seder so it arrives while families are preparing, or on the day itself. Because Passover begins at sundown, a card that morning still feels timely. Greetings are welcome throughout the full week of the holiday.
