Birthday

Birthday cards that are actually about them

Skip the rack of look-alikes. Tell us a little about the birthday person, pick a tone, and get a message you can shape into something only you could have sent.

Happy Birthday

Happy birthday, Dad!

You taught me to bait a hook and to show up for people. One of those I still use every week. Thank you for being the steadiest person I know.

Love, Maya

What to write in a birthday card

The best birthday messages are specific. One real detail (a habit you admire, a thing they did for you this year, a running joke) beats three generic wishes. Start with the person, not the date.

  • Name one thing you appreciate about them and why.
  • If it's a milestone, say what the milestone means to you, not just the number.
  • Keep age jokes affectionate and only if they'd laugh first.
  • End with a wish for the year ahead that fits their life right now.

Birthday cards for every relationship

A card for your partner reads differently from one for your manager. Choose the relationship and tone in the wizard and the message adjusts: warm and intimate for family, light for friends, respectful for colleagues.
