A birthday card everyone signs

One card. Everyone's words. Sealed till the morning.

Send one link round the family and the friends who aren't in the book. Gran on her iPad, the cousins in Auckland, the neighbour: everyone writes a line, with a GIF or a sticker if they like. Nobody can peek until the birthday morning. Then it prints into a real card with everyone inside.

Joe's card
Nana Joan started it · 4 have written · he turns 70 on Saturday

Write Joe a line.

He reads it Saturday morning, with everyone else's. One sentence is plenty.

Still remember you teaching me to drive in that awful blue Escort…

Only Joe sees it, and only on the day.

How it works

Started tonight. Signed by the weekend. In the post by Tuesday.

01

Start it

A name and a date. Thirty seconds. If Joe's already in your book, his card is one tap on his page.

02

Share the link

WhatsApp it, email it, text it. Anyone with the link can write a line. Nobody makes an account.

03

Sealed till the morning

Joe can't see a word until his birthday morning, in his own timezone. Then it opens, GIFs and all, and stays open forever after.

04

Prints into a real card

An A5 card, everyone's words inside, in an envelope, posted. The book tells you the last day to post it: “Post it tomorrow at the latest.”

Why not a group-card site

Free. Not free for the first one.

No per-card fee, no upgrade at the door, and the people who sign never join anything. Free for families is the whole price, because the book earns a small commission when someone buys a present through it, never from a card.

The bit nobody else does

It's part of the birthday, not a one-off.

The card is one of three things that happen at a birthday. The book keeps the present and the day on the same page, so the person who said “I'll get the card” and the person collecting for the present can see each other, and next year the card is already there waiting.
