Drake Maye and his wife, Ann Michael Maye, have revealed their first holiday card since getting married (PEOPLE and Instagram)
Ann Michael, 23, shared the card exclusively with PEOPLE on November 10 through her partnership with Minted.
The design, called “Apres Ski” by Wildfield Paper Co., carries a simple “Merry Christmas” message and the Maye family signature. Drake Maye and his wife, Ann Michael Maye, have found a personal way to celebrate a year filled with major milestones. The couple’s first holiday card since getting married features a photograph from their anniversary trip to Cabo, offering a glimpse into their life away from the NFL. Beyond the Christmas greeting, the card carries memories of their travels, their first year of marriage and the quieter moments they have managed to enjoy together. The photograph on the front of the card takes the couple back to their first wedding anniversary trip to Cabo during the NFL offseason. Ann Michael wears a brown sundress with blue polka dots, while Drake keeps his look relaxed in a white collared shirt, navy pants and sunglasses.
Childhood sweethearts, Drake and Ann Michael got engaged in January 2025 and married in June that year. Drake’s journey with the New England Patriots also brought plenty of attention, including the team’s run to Super Bowl 2026 in February.
Amid those developments, Ann Michael said finding time for each other has become particularly valuable. The couple’s relationship has already included several important milestones. The Mayes began sending holiday cards only after their wedding, but the tradition has quickly become something Ann Michael looks forward to every year. She sees the cards as a way to preserve memories rather than simply send seasonal greetings.
