Funny Christmas cards for your partner

Funny cards for your partner work when they come from the inside of the relationship. The shared jokes, the habits you pretend not to mind, the thing they said in 2019 that you still bring up. Keep it affectionate, and end on a kind note.

3 things to write inside

Swap in their name. Change anything that doesn’t sound like you.

  1. funny [first name], we agreed a budget for presents, and I'd like it noted that I broke it. Merry Christmas. You're worth it.
  2. funny [first name], I'd share the last roast potato with you. Please recognise how serious that is. Merry Christmas.
  3. funny Dear [first name], I love you and I'm still not watching the whole film with the commentary on. Merry Christmas.

Questions people ask

What do you write in a Christmas card to a new partner?

Keep it warm and light. Mention something you've enjoyed doing together, say you're glad of it, and leave out the heavy words if you're not ready for them. "I'm really glad this year had you in it" is honest without putting anyone on the spot.

Is it weird to send my partner a Christmas card when we live together?

Not at all. A card is a small ceremony, and it's easy to lose that when you share a kettle. Write it, schedule it for the morning, and let them find it on their phone while you're both still in your pyjamas.

Can I send a funny card to my partner instead of a romantic one?

Yes, if funny is how the two of you talk. A joke only the pair of you understand can feel more intimate than a heartfelt paragraph. Add one plain, sincere line at the end, so they know the joke is also a hug.
