Constitution Day of Ukraine is celebrated every year on 28 June. On that day in 1996 the Verkhovna Rada, after an all-night session remembered as the "constitutional night", adopted the Basic Law of the independent state. In 2026 the Constitution turned 30. Below are short and formal wishes, words for colleagues and family, poems and ideas for blue-and-yellow flowers. Wishes for other holidays of the year are in our holiday wishes calendar.
From the "constitutional night" to the 30th anniversary

What to write on a holiday card
Happy holiday! May your home always be filled with warmth, peace and joy.
Best wishes! Bright thoughts, good health and people around you worth celebrating with.
May this day bring calm and every day after it a reason to smile.
With warmth and best wishes to you and your family on this holiday!
A small bouquet goes well with a card: flowers turn even a few lines into a special gift.
Greeting loved ones from afar
A video call — agree on a good time so the whole family can talk without rushing.
A voice message — a real voice feels warmer than text, especially for grandparents.
Flower delivery — a bouquet with a card delivered on the holiday morning makes a lovely surprise.
A family video — collect short wishes from all your relatives and send them as one clip.
Poems for Constitution Day
A June night, and no one slept, The hall debated until dawn, And with the morning, promise kept, Our Basic Law at last was born.
May every home have peace and light, May truth and freedom never fade, May we stand strong for what is right And honour those who've kept us safe.
Flowers for Constitution Day
Flowers in the colours of the flag capture the spirit of the day best: yellow roses, sunflowers, blue hydrangeas or irises. A large bouquet of yellow roses suits official events or a gift for a manager, while a small blue-and-yellow arrangement is perfect for family or colleagues.
Freedom and the rule of law unite us with Europe; see Europe Day wishes.
