So I want our message to be the following, but I think I have some punctuation and/or capitalization wrong in there. How should it read?


From our little house to yours:
Warm wishes for peace, love and joy throughout the coming year!
Love,
(all our names here)


But I don't know whether there should be a colon at the end of the first line or something else (comma? ellipses?), or if "warm" should be capitalized or not.

(Yes, I'm clearly over-thinking this. It's what I do!)

TIA!
Sarah :)

I would just leave out the first line entirely. But if you keep it in, I would lose the colon - it makes it too formal. (I don't know what else you should put though!)

Eh...it's more like a poem so grammar is less rigid.

I'd lose the colon and keep the capital W.

I think it's cute!

Ideally, it would read:

From our little house to yours... warm wishes for peace, love and joy throughout the coming year.
Love,

Thanks! I think I'll switch it to "yours..." but keep the capital W on the next line (because it looks weird otherwise and doesn't fit all on one line).

I'm ordering my cards nearly a whole week earlier than last year. Yippee!

Sarah :)
