What To Write In An Easter Card (150+ Messages)

Easter cards are one of those things that feel small but land big. A few sentences tucked inside a card can say more than an hour of conversation. The problem is most of us stare at a blank card for way too long trying to find the right words.

Whether you’re writing to your whole family, your best friend, your boyfriend, or someone going through a hard season, the message doesn’t have to be long. It just has to feel real. That’s the whole point of this list.

We’ve sorted everything by who you’re writing to and what you want to say — from short and sweet to faith-filled to genuinely heartfelt. Scroll to the section that fits, copy what works, and make it your own.

If you’re also looking for what to post alongside the card, check out our full list of Easter wishes and Easter blessings for more ideas.
