Kwanzaa eCards: Meaningful Digital Greetings

Kwanzaa is the very essence of warm celebration of African American individuals, culture, and heritage—seven days of celebratory affirmation and reaffirmation of values. Kwanzaa eCards have, in our more technologically advanced times now, become such an authentic means of sending those values to far and near ones and friends. Whether you're mailing is an impulse love note to loved ones, a hug card to buddies, or inviting your crew to a crew card, digital Kwanzaa greeting cards can capture the essence and ease of modern messages. 

Sendwishonline.com believes good words and images can turn your holiday Kwanzaa greetings into nothing short of memories. Let us begin with what respectful messages for Kwanzaa to use in an eCard are, who to send them to, and how to make the season clear.

What Are Some Respectful and Appropriate Messages to Use in a Kwanzaa eCard?

Keep in mind when writing Kwanzaa messages that they must be respectful of the holiday's cultural heritage and positive and uplifting in nature. Some respectful, genuine Kwanzaa messages are:

"Wishing you peace and prosperity this Kwanzaa! May the seven principles of Kwanzaa lead you and the people you love to peace, purpose, and prosperity."

"Wishing you a vibrant, loving, community-people life. Happy Kwanzaa!"

"May you be closer to your heritage and content with your traditions as you celebrate Kwanzaa's seven days."

"Warmest eCard greetings of the season to dear loved ones and friends: may Umoja (Unity) hold your hearts together in celebration today and forevermore."

Such types of Kwanzaa greeting messages incorporate the seven principles—Umoja (Unity), Kujichagulia (Self-Determination), Ujima (Collective Work and Responsibility), Ujamaa (Cooperative Economics), Nia (Purpose), Kuumba (Creativity), and Imani (Faith)—and are in commemoration of the holiday spirit. Even short, good Kwanzaa messages, such as "Wishes of joy and purpose this Kwanzaa," will do just fine when utilized in an appropriate context.

How Can eCards for Groups Illustrate the Values of Kwanzaa (e.g., Purpose and Unity)?

Kwanzaa is a festival of oneness, and the group's Kwanzaa card is a clear expression of the principles of Kwanzaa—particularly Umoja (Unity) and Nia (Purpose). Picture co-workers, friends, or your cultural family all signing messages of hope and optimism in a single e-Kwanzaa card. 

For instance, you can have members' eCards where members jot down personal thoughts on one of the seven principles for each member. One member jots down how he/she uses Kujichagulia in his/her life, and another member jots down how Ujamaa makes him/her shop at Black-owned enterprises. By putting all these personal messages on one universal shared Kwanzaa card, you have a constant reminder of the Kwanzaa spirit—a new, fresh, funky virtual Kwanzaa tradition that keeps holiday cheer funky and hip.

To Whom Should Kwanzaa Greetings Be Sent—Family, Friends, Coworkers?

The conundrum is to send Kwanzaa greetings to non-family members or limit them to family members. The best thing about Kwanzaa greetings is that they're for those who celebrate or keep holiday principles in mind—so send them along to:

Family: Moms and dads, grandmas and granddads, siblings and brothers, and other relatives sending Kwanzaa greetings will give your considerate Kwanzaa eCard words a welcome into the family.

Friends: Although your friends might not be necessarily inclined towards Kwanzaa per se, they but adopt its principles of oneness, creativity, and faith, they will be wished well during Kwanzaa.

Co-workers or business network: Where co-workers are celebrating Kwanzaa or where workplaces foster holiday diversity observances, e-Kwanzaa card sending as a sign of holiday observance and workplace harmony is recommended.

Community organizations: Religious, cultural, or community organizations celebrating Kwanzaa as an institution will love group cards celebrating shared heritage.

Kwanzaa, after all, is unity. When you celebrate Kwanzaa, feelings near and far, you cement the values of unity and purpose that the holiday represents in your immediate surroundings, and you take them to a larger community, and that makes us one.

What Elements of Design or What Colors Symbolically Represent Kwanzaa Cards?

To design an introduction to the holiday and cultural theme of Kwanzaa in order to use your eCard design, use the traditional symbols and colors. The traditional symbols of Kwanzaa employed in cards are:

Pan-African flag colors: Red (for bloodshed and adversity), black (for the people), and green (for the future and hope).

Kinara and candles: The most symbolic aspect of Kwanzaa celebration is a seven-candle kinara (black candle candlestand) with seven green candles and red candles.

African-influenced patterns: Geometric or African-influenced pattern painting gives Kwanzaa greeting cards graphic authenticity.

Harvest photos: As Kwanzaa is the first fruits, fruit, corn, or fruit baskets photo is a harvest of the traditional background of Kwanzaa.
