Plan your posada
What a posada is, when to send it and what to include
What Las Posadas are
Las Posadas are nine nights, from December 16 to 24, that remember Mary and Joseph’s search for shelter (posada) in Bethlehem. Guests often walk with candles, sing to ask for lodging, then break the piñata and share ponche, tamales and aguinaldos.
When to send
Two to three weeks before is common. In 2026 the posadas run from Wednesday, December 16 to Thursday, December 24, so say which night is yours.
Who brings what
Many posadas are shared: one family hosts, others bring tamales, ponche, the piñata or the aguinaldo bags. List it in the details.
What to include
Date, time, address, whether there is a procession or the litany to ask for posada, whether kids are welcome, and if there is a gift exchange.
