Our tips

Aim for the right window

Networks get congested around midnight on 31 December, and a message launched at that instant can arrive very late. Mid-morning on 1 January is safer, and your message doesn't get lost in the wave.

One personal line changes everything

A generic wish is spotted at once. Add a single reference to the person, a project they told you about or a memory from the year, and the message takes on a whole other value.

Your frequently asked questions

Q01Until what date can you wish someone a happy new year?

French custom allows it until the end of January, but a message sent in the very first days always keeps more warmth.

Q02Is it better to avoid sending at exactly midnight?

Rather, yes: network load peaks at that instant and message delivery can be significantly delayed as a result.
