We have watched you do everything the hard way and make it look easy. Happy 60th.
The whole family is here because of you, and we know it. Happy birthday.
Before you send it
A 60th card works best when it opens on the morning of the birthday, not the week before. Set the date when you create it.
Send one link to everyone, not a separate card to each person. One link, one card, all the names together.
Give people a few days to sign it. One day is not enough if anyone is travelling or in a different time zone.
How it works
Three steps and the card is ready.
- 01
Set the date.
Pick their birthday. The card opens that morning and not before.
- 02
Share one link.
Everyone you want to sign it gets the same link. They write once, in a browser, no app needed.
- 03
They open it on the day.
All the messages, all the names, on their phone. They keep it.
Questions
How many people can sign a 60th birthday card?
As many as you like. There is no cap. The more people you send the link to, the fuller the card.
Can I send the card if I miss the birthday?
Yes. Change the open date when you create it. A card that arrives a day late is fine; no card is not.
What does the card look like?
tbf draws the card fronts. Pick one that fits them, share the link, and the inside fills up as people sign.
Somebody has a day coming up.
