Valentine's Day voicemail greetings and other spring holiday messages are short scripts you can voice in minutes: sale announcements, holiday-hours greetings and thank-you messages. Below are scripts for Valentine's Day, St Patrick's Day, Easter, Mother's Day and Father's Day 2027, written for businesses in the US and UK. Add your details once, copy a script and voice it in Kveeky.
Key Takeaways
- Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are not public holidays in the US or UK. Use an offer or on-hold message, not a “we’re closed” greeting.
- Easter is the spring holiday most likely to close your phone lines, especially in the UK, where Good Friday and Easter Monday are bank holidays.
- UK Mothering Sunday (March 7, 2027) is 9 weeks before US Mother’s Day (May 9, 2027). If you sell to both countries, run 2 campaigns.
- Keep greetings to 15–25 seconds and offer messages to 10–20 seconds.
- For audio that promotes your business, use a paid Kveeky plan. Every paid plan includes commercial usage rights.

How to set up a holiday voicemail greeting
- Personalise and copy the greeting for your holiday.
- Paste it into Kveeky, choose a clear, friendly voice, and set the emotion to Calm.
- Download MP3 or WAV and check which file type your phone system accepts.
- Upload it as your after-hours or holiday greeting, then call your own number to test it.
- Switch it back on the day you reopen, so customers don't hear an out-of-date message.
To check how long your own version runs, paste it into the words to minutes calculator. For autumn and winter, use our Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year voice message scripts, and for full phone menus see the phone prompt library and IVR guide.
Rules for using AI voices in holiday calls
| Situation | What to know |
|---|---|
| Voicemail or after-hours greeting (people call you) | No special consent is needed to play a greeting to callers |
| Outbound calls with an AI voice (US) | The FCC ruled in February 2024 that AI-generated voices count as “artificial” under the TCPA, so these calls need the called person’s prior express consent unless an exemption applies |
| Sending voice messages on messaging apps | Only message customers who opted in, and stop when they ask |
| Any country | Follow your local marketing and telemarketing rules before sending promotional audio |
Quick checklist before you publish
| Check | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Business name in the first 5 seconds | Callers know they reached the right place |
| The right Mother’s Day for the country | UK and US dates are 9 weeks apart in 2027 |
| Reopening day and time are correct | UK Easter closures often run 4 days, Friday to Monday |
| Played once on a phone | Phone lines cut low and high frequencies, so test there |
| Greeting switched back after the holiday | An old “we’re closed” message loses customers |
| Audio made on a paid plan if it promotes your business | Paid Kveeky plans include commercial usage rights |
