Quick answer: Day of the dead cards work on one rule: the scene honors the occasion and the message does the rest. Order early - the dates move with the calendar and the mail never speeds up.
Some occasions get forty card designs at the supermarket; day of the dead cards get none. That gap is your opportunity: a scene that opens into the occasion itself reads as thoughtfulness money usually can't buy.
Making It Land
- November 1-2: marigolds, sugar skulls and papel picado in paper scenes
- This is remembrance, not Halloween - honor the aesthetic and the meaning
- Altar (ofrenda) cards that stand are literally made for the occasion
- Orange and magenta on black: the palette does the celebration

Frequently Asked Questions
Is it appropriate to send Día de Muertos cards?
When sent with understanding, absolutely - the holiday celebrates loved ones through joy and memory. Choose authentic motifs (marigolds, calaveras, pan de muerto) and a warm remembrance message; avoid costume-y skulls-and-zombies designs.
How fast can I get one?
We dispatch in 1-3 business days. Standard US shipping is $8 (free over $70), express is $15, and international rates calculate at checkout.
Do the cards stand up on their own?
Yes. Each design opens into a self-standing scene, which is exactly why recipients display them instead of filing them in a drawer.
The occasion deserves better than a rack card.
