Wanted Cards Extra: International Tea Day – May 21

Wanted Cards Extra: International Tea Day – May 21 ☕🌿

Put the kettle on—International Tea Day is quietly steeping into a lovely opportunity for GCU artists.

Observed on May 21, this day celebrates more than just a drink. Tea is ritual, comfort, culture, gossip fuel, and sometimes the only thing standing between us and a full emotional meltdown. It’s sipped in silence, shared in conversation, and occasionally spilled—figuratively, of course.

For greeting cards, tea opens the door to a wide range of tones:

• cozy and calming
• witty and “spill the tea” cheeky
• elegant and refined
• cultural and globally inspired

And the best part? Tea fits into so many everyday moments, not just the holiday itself.
