Best Easter Wishes 2027: 110+ Messages, Greetings & Bible Verses

Happy Easter 2027: when to send your wishes

Easter Sunday 2027 falls on Sunday, 28 March 2027. That is the day most Easter cards and messages are meant to arrive — ideally in the morning, before the family meal or the egg hunt begins. Holy Week leads up to it: Palm Sunday is 21 March, Maundy Thursday is 25 March, Good Friday is 26 March, and Easter Monday is 29 March. Orthodox Christians celebrate Easter on Sunday, 2 May 2027, so check which date the person you are writing to keeps before you send anything dated.

Every Easter wish 2027 below was written for this guide, so you can copy any of them, change the names and details to fit the people you love, and send them without asking. If you want the full story behind the date — why Easter moves every year, what Holy Week means, and how Americans celebrate — start with our Easter 2027 main guide.

How to write an Easter card in four lines

A good Easter card does not need to be long. Four short moves are enough:

Start with a greeting. “Happy Easter” works for anyone. “He is risen” is the right choice for a fellow Christian — and the traditional reply is “He is risen indeed.”
Add one personal line. Mention a plan to see them, a family tradition, or a favourite memory from past Easters. One real detail makes a card sound like you wrote it.
Include a verse or a blessing if it fits. A short Bible verse suits a religious card; a spring wish suits everyone else.
Close warmly and sign your name. “With love”, “Blessings”, or simply “Happy Easter” — then your name, or the names of everyone in your household.

Not sure whether to go religious or secular? If you do not know how someone celebrates, choose a spring-and-eggs wish rather than a faith one. A wish about sunshine, new beginnings, or a shared meal is welcome in every home.

Easter Bible verses for cards

A verse at the top of a card, with your own short wish underneath, is often the most memorable kind of Easter message. These are quoted from the New International Version (NIV) unless noted. Copy the words exactly and include the reference.

Matthew 28:6 — “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. Come and see the place where he lay.”
John 11:25 — “I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die.”
1 Peter 1:3 — “Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead.”
Romans 6:4 — “We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.”
Luke 24:6 — “He is not here; he has risen!”
1 Corinthians 15:55 — “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?”

For the full passage behind each verse, BibleGateway lets you read them in any translation. And if you want the history of the holiday itself — from the Council of Nicaea in 325 AD to the White House Egg Roll — see the Britannica guide to Easter and our Easter 2027 main guide.

Easter wishes for family

Family cards can be the warmest ones — they carry the shared memories of egg hunts, church services, and Sunday dinners.

Happy Easter, Mom and Dad. Thank you for every egg hunt, every basket, and every Easter dinner.
Happy Easter to the best family I know. May our table be full and our laughter louder than ever.

Happy Easter! I may be far away, but my heart is at your table today.

Easter wishes for kids and grandchildren

Happy Easter! I hope you find every egg — and that the one with the best surprise inside is yours.
Wishing you a day full of sunshine, a basket full of treats, and a heart full of giggles.

Happy Easter! May your day be full of muddy shoes, sticky fingers, and the good kind of tired.
You’re growing up so fast — Happy Easter! I’m proud of you every single day.
Happy Easter to my favourite kid. The best part of any egg hunt is who you’re hunting with.

Easter wishes for someone grieving or going through a hard time

Easter can be a difficult day for someone who has lost a loved one or is facing a hard season. Keep it gentle, honest, and free of pressure to feel cheerful.

Happy Easter. I hope the season’s message of hope brings you even a small measure of comfort.

When should you send Easter wishes in 2027?

Day	2027 date	What to send
Palm Sunday	Sunday, 21 March	A note to church friends as Holy Week begins
Maundy Thursday	Thursday, 25 March	A quiet blessing or prayer for someone of faith
Good Friday	Friday, 26 March	A solemn, gentle message — not a cheerful one
Easter Sunday	Sunday, 28 March	Your Easter wish, ideally arriving in the morning
Easter Monday	Monday, 29 March	A late wish is still welcome — “Happy Easter, a day late!”
Orthodox Easter	Sunday, 2 May	Wishes for friends and family who follow the Orthodox calendar

Cards sent by post should go out by Wednesday, 24 March, to arrive before Easter Sunday. Texts and emails can go on the morning of 28 March itself. If you missed the day, do not worry — an Easter wish sent on Easter Monday still lands well, and a spring wish works any time in April. The dates above are confirmed in our Easter 2027 guide; the Old Farmer’s Almanac Easter dates page also lists them year by year.

Frequently asked questions about Easter wishes

What is the best thing to write in an Easter card?

Start with “Happy Easter”, add one personal line about the person or a shared memory, and close with your name. A short, personal card beats a long, generic one every time.

What do you say instead of “Happy Easter”?

“He is risen” (with the reply “He is risen indeed”) is the traditional Christian greeting. “Blessed Easter”, “Happy spring”, or “Wishing you a joyful Easter” all work when you want something different.

Is it OK to send Easter wishes to someone who is not Christian?

Yes — choose a spring-themed wish about sunshine, renewal, or new beginnings rather than a faith-based one. Most people welcome a kind seasonal message.

When is Easter 2027?

Easter Sunday 2027 is 28 March 2027. Orthodox Easter 2027 is 2 May 2027. Good Friday is 26 March and Easter Monday is 29 March.

What Bible verse is best for an Easter card?

Matthew 28:6 — “He is not here; he has risen, just as he said” — is the most quoted Easter verse for cards. John 11:25 and 1 Peter 1:3 are also good choices. Keep the verse short and add your own line beneath it.

Can I send Easter wishes after Easter Sunday?

Yes. A wish on Easter Monday (29 March 2027) is still welcome, and a spring greeting works throughout April. A late, sincere message is better than none at all.

What should I write to someone who is grieving at Easter?

Keep it gentle and honest: “Thinking of you this Easter” and “I’m here” are enough. Avoid telling them to be cheerful or that the holiday will fix how they feel.
