What to Write in a Christmas Card for Your Daughter & Son-in-Law

Your daughter has built a life with someone new, and their Christmas card together deserves to feel as warm as the one you'd write for her alone — not an afterthought with his name squeezed on at the end.

Here are heartfelt, warm and funny messages for a daughter and son-in-law together this Christmas.

Tips for Their Christmas Card

Write to them as a couple, not just your daughter. It's an easy habit to fall into, but making sure your son-in-law feels equally addressed matters.

Reference something recent. A line about a moment from this year — a house move, a holiday, anything — makes it feel personal rather than a template.

Keep the warmth genuine. A simple, sincere line often means more than an elaborate one that doesn't sound like you.
