Tips for writing it

Grandmas love being thanked for the traditions they started. Mention a recipe, a Thanksgiving memory from her kitchen, or a lesson she taught you. If the grandkids or great-grandkids are involved, let them add their names or a short line.

Thanksgiving 2026 is Thursday, November 26. If she’s not comfortable with links, send the card to someone who’ll be with her or download the video and play it at the table. If you’re far away, send it in the morning and call before dinner.

Frequently asked questions

What do you write in a Thanksgiving card to Grandma?

Thank her for a tradition, recipe, or memory, tell her you love her, and wish her a happy, healthy holiday. Mentioning grandkids by name adds a lot.

When should I send Grandma’s Thanksgiving card?
