Holiday Card Messages for Construction Companies

A construction company's holiday card should thank customers for the work you did together this year, wish them a safe and happy season, and close warmly, in two or three sentences. Keep bids, rates and project pitches out of it so the card reads as a thank-you.

A construction list usually mixes homeowners, general contractors, developers, subcontractors and suppliers. Below are messages for each that you can use as written.

Messages for customers

• Thank you for trusting us with your project this year. Wishing you a safe and happy holiday season.
• It was a pleasure building with you. Happy holidays from all of us at [Company Name].
• Thank you for welcoming our crew this year. We hope your holidays are warm, bright and right on schedule.
• Season's greetings, and thank you for choosing [Company Name]. We look forward to the next project together.

For general contractors and developers

• Thank you for another year of good work together. Wishing your team a safe holiday season and a strong 2027.
• Good projects start with good partners. Thank you for yours, and happy holidays.
• Thank you for keeping us busy this year. Best wishes to your whole team this season.

For subcontractors and suppliers

• We couldn't finish a single job without you. Thank you for a great year, and happy holidays.
• Thank you for showing up, delivering on time and doing it right. Wishing you and your crew a restful season.

For your crew

• Every project this year stood on your work. Thank you, and enjoy a safe, restful holiday with your families.
• Thank you for a safe and productive year. Happy holidays from the office to the field.

Lighter lines

Use one line, not a whole card of puns.

• Wishing you a holiday season that's on schedule and under budget.
• May your holidays be built on good cheer and your new year on a solid foundation.
• Hard hats off to a great year. Happy holidays.

Christmas or holiday wording?

If you don't know that everyone on your list celebrates Christmas, "happy holidays" or "season's greetings" is the safe choice. If your community sends Christmas cards, "Merry Christmas" is fine. Our guide on what to write in a business holiday card has more options for both.

What to leave out

• Bids, estimates and seasonal discounts.
• Requests for reviews or referrals.
• Project stats and safety records.
• Anything about open invoices.

Designs for your trade

Many of our construction Christmas cards carry cranes, framing and jobsite scenes. General contractors and builders can also browse general contractor Christmas cards and home builder Christmas cards.

Consider a Thanksgiving card

Some firms send business Thanksgiving cards instead, so the card arrives before the December rush. A Thanksgiving message can lean on gratitude: This Thanksgiving, we're thankful for customers like you. Wishing you a safe, happy holiday with your family.

A line about your charity

Each year, we donate at least 10% of net proceeds from greeting card sales to charity. When you customize your card, you pick any IRS-recognized 501(c)(3). Construction companies often pick a local housing or community charity and name it in the card: This year, our holiday cards support [Charity Name].

Save time on the mailing

If you're sending to 100 or more customers, we can print, address and mail your holiday cards for you. Every envelope is addressed with a real ballpoint pen and mailed by the date you choose. It costs $2.25 to $4.75 per recipient before postage, with larger mailings at the low end. Postage is USPS First-Class at cost.

When to send

Aim for your cards to arrive in the first two weeks of December. Our guide on when to send business holiday cards has the mail-by dates.
