Last day to mail a Easter card
Easter's date swings across March and April every year (it follows the lunar calendar). Here's the computed last day to mail an Easter card so it arrives before Sunday.
Mail by — 2027
Monday, March 22, 2027
So it arrives safely before Easter on Sunday, March 28, 2027. Cutting it close? Wednesday, March 24, 2027is the latest we'd risk. That's 259 days from today.
Planning ahead? For 2028, mail by Monday, April 10, 2028 (Easter is Sunday, April 16, 2028).
How we got that date
First-class mail typically takes 3–5 business days, and weekends don't count. We work back 5 business days from Easter so the card lands a day or two early — early reads as thoughtful, late reads as forgotten. Around the holidays, mail volume runs heavy, so the buffer matters more than usual.
Timing and message tips
Easter is always a Sunday — plan arrival for the Thursday or Friday before, since nothing delivers on Easter Sunday.
Spring holidays are lighter mail weeks than December, but a few days of buffer still keeps it stress-free.
For family far away, a card that arrives before the weekend can be opened together on a call.
Kids love mail addressed to them by name — send the little ones their own.
