Most birthday wishes are now sent as an image: in a message, on a story, in a family chat. A card with the person's name and photo feels more personal than a stock picture, and it takes a minute to make.
Type the greeting, the name and your message, and add a photo if you have one. It appears in a circle at the top. Choose confetti or balloons, a color style and a size: a 2:3 card, a square post or a 9:16 story. The card is made in your browser, with no account and no watermark.
What to write in a birthday card
Short messages are read; long ones are skimmed. Say one true thing about the person or the year ahead, in two sentences at most. For a colleague, keep it warm and general. For family and close friends, mention something only you would know.
If you post the card publicly, leave out the age and the full name unless the person is happy to share them.
Card, post or story
The story size, 1080 x 1920 pixels, fills a phone screen and suits Instagram and WhatsApp status. The square, 1080 x 1080, suits a feed post or a group chat. The 2:3 card, 1000 x 1500, prints at 4 x 6 inches and is the shape for Pinterest, where "happy birthday" is one of the most searched phrases of the year.
To invite people to the party, use the invitation maker. For a greeting with only words on a background, try the faceless pin maker.
