Thanksgiving ecards for hotels

Thanksgiving is when guests think about who they will see and where they will stay. A thank-you with your hotel's name on it is good timing. These Thanksgiving ecards for hotels are short animated cards with your logo, your photos and your words, sent by email to past guests and corporate accounts, and you see the finished card before you pay.

Made for a hotel

A Thanksgiving card that looks like your hotel

Type your hotel's website address and the card takes your brand colors and finds your logo. Or drop in a logo file and the colors are read from it. Then the photos and every line of text are yours: the greeting, the message, and whether it comes from the hotel, the team or your general manager.

The result is a hospitality Thanksgiving card that plays like a short film: your logo, your colors, your photos and your words, with music, full screen on a phone. It plays on its own web page, and the email that carries it to your guests is designed for you, with an animated or still graphic of the card. Press Make this yours and the studio opens the demo, ready for your own logo, colors, photos and words.

What to write in a Thanksgiving message to hotel guests

Keep it short and about the guest. A good Thanksgiving message to hotel guests thanks them for staying, wishes them a good holiday, and says who it is from. It reads best without a rate or an offer in it. Start from one of these and change any word.

To past guests

"Thank you for staying with us this year. Happy Thanksgiving from all of us at [hotel name]."

"Wishing you a warm Thanksgiving, wherever you are."

To corporate accounts and planners

"To our guests and partners: we are grateful for you. Happy Thanksgiving."

"Thank you for bringing your teams and your events to [hotel name] this year. We are grateful for the trust."

To travel partners

"Thank you for sending travelers our way this year. Happy Thanksgiving from the team at [hotel name]."

"We are thankful for partners like you. Wishing you a restful holiday."

To your own team

"To everyone who welcomed a guest this year: thank you. Happy Thanksgiving from [hotel name]."

Who should get your hotel's Thanksgiving card

  • Past guests: everyone who stayed, dined or held an event with you this year.
  • Corporate accounts and event planners: the people who book rooms and meetings.
  • Travel partners: agencies, tour operators and the businesses that send guests your way.
  • Your own team, front of house and back.

A card holds one message, so many hotels make two: a thank you for staying with us card for guests, and one for accounts and partners. Copy the first card, change the words, and both live in the same account.

Why Thanksgiving works for a hotel

A Thanksgiving card arrives before the December rush, when inboxes are quieter and a thank-you reads as a thank-you. It carries no faith, only gratitude, so it suits every guest on the list. And it lands just as people plan where they will be for the holidays and the year ahead. Many hotels send a Thanksgiving thank-you to guests and a holiday card in December; see the holiday designs.

End the card with a reason to come back

When the card finishes, it shows a row of links you choose. For a hotel, the first one is usually your booking page, so a guest who just watched your card is one click from their next stay. Add your restaurant, your holiday events and your social accounts beside it.

On a Photo & Text design, the photos are yours too: your lobby, your rooms, your view. A past guest sees a place they remember, and the card ends where they can book it.

Approved by your general manager before you pay

A hotel's card usually needs a yes from the general manager, an owner or a brand team. Press Send for approval and pass on the link. It shows the real, finished card with a watermark, has nothing to download, and needs no account, so anyone who signs off can watch it on a phone between shifts.

When the card is approved, answer one question at checkout and the clean card is made in about one to two minutes. Nothing is bought until someone says yes.

Your guest list stays in your hands

There are two ways to send, at the same price.

  • Send it yourself. We design the email; you send it from Mailchimp, Constant Contact, Outlook or another provider. Your guest list never leaves your own system.
  • We send it. Import your list and every address is checked before the send. Unsubscribes are handled for you, permanently, and you get a report afterward.

Either way, the email is designed and tested to render as widely as possible, and the card's own page sets no cookies on your guests and is kept out of search engines. How each way works · Privacy.

When to send a hotel Thanksgiving email

US Thanksgiving is Thursday, November 26, 2026. Send it the week before, Monday to Wednesday, when it lands in an inbox people are reading rather than a long weekend. If we send it, you can schedule it ahead of time.

Guests from Canada celebrated on Monday, October 12. A hotel with guests from both countries can send the same card twice: the card's page stays live for 60 days from the later of your purchase and your last send, and another send extends it.
