Formal or Friendly: The Right Words for Every Situation
Before you grab one of the eCard designs, be sure to consider the nature of your relationship with your business partner. Not every holiday greeting is suitable for every business partner!
1.Formal
If your relationship with your business partner is formal, professional, and rather distant, a classic and factual holiday greeting (often with a quote) is appropriate.
For formal communication, the following greeting is suitable:
Dear Mr. Maier,
I wish you much joy and relaxed moments during the holiday season and the end of the year!
We thank you for the good cooperation and wish you and your family all the best for the coming year.
Warm regards,
Max Muster
2. Friendly
If your relationship with your business partner is more friendly and casual, you can write your holiday greetings in a more relaxed and playful manner. Here's how a business holiday greeting with a friendly tone might look:
Dear Michael,
'If the old year was rich in success, look forward to the new one. But if it was poor, then look forward to it even more' (Karl-Heinz Söhler).
I'll leave the assessment of your year to you. I wish you relaxing holidays and a great start to the new year.
Best regards,
Max
Crafting Business Holiday Card Messages
The basic rule is: Don't write novels. Complicated sentences with numerous commas have no place in holiday cards; instead, opt for concise sentences.
Even more important is giving each holiday greeting a personal touch. Mass-produced standard cards without personalization are out of place! If you already know the recipient, don't address them with “Dear Sir or Madam."
A Christmas greeting consists of three parts:
- Salutation
- Greeting/Quote
- Closing
1. Salutation
Tailor the salutation to your relationship with your business partner and follow the communication style you've used throughout the year. For a professional relationship, a formal salutation is appropriate, while a friendly relationship allows for a more casual greeting. You can use the following salutations:
- Dear [Name]
- Hi [Name]
- Dear [Team Name] (if you’re addressing a whole team)
2. Greeting/Message
After the salutation, it’s time for the actual holiday greeting for your business partner. Senders usually choose one of these two options:
- A holiday message (often with thanks and well-wishes)
- A poem, quote, or saying as an introduction to the subsequent holiday message
3. Closing
The same rule applies to the closing as to the salutation (formal vs. friendly).
You have a few more options here:
- Best regards
- Festive greetings
- Holiday greetings
- Warm Advent greetings
- Christmas greetings
- Winter greetings
- Wishes you
- Wish you

Quotes and Sayings for Business Holiday Greetings
When words fail, quotes offer an ideal way to express sentiments perfectly. Explore our selection of beautiful quotes for business holiday greetings during this festive season.
"If the old year was rich in success, rejoice in the new." (Karl-Heinz Söhler)
"White are towers, rooftops, branches, and the year draws to a close, and the most beautiful festival is here!" (Theodor Fontane)
"Time extends for those who know how to make use of it." (Leonardo da Vinci)
"Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas." (Calvin Coolidge)
"Softly the bells ring through candlelight, gentle like the scent of forests, Christmas time, and a simple happiness scatters beautiful flowers of the past on the threshold." (Joachim Ringelnatz)
"Giving to make someone happy is always something good, something that honors the giver. It is a sign of love." (Konrad Adenauer)
"Our true purpose is to be happy." (Dalai Lama)
"Christmas – it has always been my most beautiful festival." (Theodor Storm)

Choosing the right card design
Many people find it difficult to choose the right design for their Christmas card. Especially when it comes to customers or business partners, you want to leave a positive impression that will last into the New Year. So how do I choose the right card design?
Who, how, what?
In the first and most important step, you should always think about the recipient and the intention behind your Christmas greetings. Is it a long-standing business partner with whom you are also in private contact or a customer you want to convince of a new project? Just like the text within the card, the motif itself also shapes the impression left behind.
Professional, personal, festive
If you want to maintain a professional focus, for example, cards that use matt colors and classic images are the safest option. A "clean" look makes the recipient focus more on the content of the card and gives you another platform for a business message.
A design with a playful touch, e.g. with glitter or eye-catching colors, is more indicative of a more relaxed, personal relationship. Employees and trusted business partners in particular appreciate such a motif and recognize that it is in line with the heartfelt wishes within the card.
Conclusion
By now you should be at least one step ahead: either you have chosen one of the 32 text examples for business Christmas greetings or you have been given plenty of inspiration to formulate your own individual cards in no time at all.
