Eid Mubarak wishes
Written to be sendable by a friend who is celebrating and a friend who is not. Warmth, food and the people in the room, which is where the day actually lives.

Continue writing opens that message in the card with the words already in it, so all that is left is to change a word and send it. The last message is the longest of the six, and it is the only one you have to copy across yourself.
Eid Mubarak. Hope the house is full, nobody's in a hurry to leave, and you get to sit down at some point instead of carrying plates around all day. Wishing you a year with a lot more ease in it than the last one gave you.
Continue writing with message 1Eid Mubarak. Wishing you a slow day, an indefensible amount of food, and the kind of long afternoon where nobody so much as looks at a phone. Save something sweet for me and tell everyone at home I was asking after them.
Continue writing with message 2Eid Mubarak. Thank you for the year, and for the number of times you checked in when I'd gone quiet on you. Hope today is long and crowded and exactly as it should be. Send photos of the whole spread before it gets demolished.
Continue writing with message 3Eid Mubarak. My honest prediction: you will cook for thirty people, eat standing up, insist you aren't tired, and fall asleep by nine. Try to break at least one of those this year. Hope the day is a very good one from start to finish.
Continue writing with message 4Eid Mubarak. Thinking of you today, mostly around the sheer khurma, which I've never once managed to get anywhere near right on my own. Hope the house is loud and the food runs out only at the very end of the day. Miss you a lot.
Continue writing with message 5Eid Mubarak. Hope the house fills up early and empties late, the sewaiyan holds out until evening, and somebody makes you sit down and eat before you've finished feeding everybody else, because you never do it on your own. Thank you for the year. Wishing you a good deal more ease in the one ahead.
Wish for the day, not the theology. The warmest Eid message from a friend is about the house being full, the food, and finally getting to sit down. It is generous without asserting anything that is not yours to assert.
One specific dish is worth a paragraph. Sheer khurma, biryani, whatever their family actually makes — naming it says you have been at their table, and that is the difference between a friend's message and a template.
Send it on the morning, sealed, before the day gets busy.
