Long Time No See card questions
When is the best time to send a 'long time no see' message?
It's best to send it when you genuinely miss the person and want to reconnect. Avoid sending it too late at night or early in the morning to respect their schedule.
What should I write if I'm feeling awkward or stuck?
Keep it simple and honest. Acknowledge the time that has passed and express your desire to catch up. You can write something like, 'It’s been a while since we last talked. I’d love to hear from you.'
How long or formal should the message be?
The length and formality depend on your relationship with the person. For close friends or family, a casual and brief message works well. For acquaintances or work colleagues, a slightly more formal tone might be appropriate.
