The first day of the New Year is by far one of the most inspiring holidays of all. After all, it’s all about new beginnings, right? You might write down the New Year’s resolutions from the night before or turn the necessary New Year’s party clean-up into a full winter home reset. And while you’re already doing some year-end reflecting, it’s also the perfect time to connect with loved ones and wish them a happy 2023. It’s a thoughtful gesture and can happen in all manner of ways, from a quick phone call to sending off a card or even a sweet text.

Here, we’ve rounded up some heartfelt New Year wishes in the hopes that they’ll make it that much easier to reach out to your loved ones. Scroll through our ideas, and feel free to personalize them as much as you’d like (emojis are always a good idea—as are fun New Year’s quote inclusions!). Hoping to reach a lot of people? Good news: These wishes work beautifully as New Year’s Instagram captions, too.
