MyBirthdayA personalized birthday card online usually means a picture with a name added to it, or a choice of names from a list. Here the card is built around the person: their name runs through a game they play, their age is on the cake, and the message is about them. Make it in a minute, free, and pay only if you send it.
These are real cards. Tap one to play it here, the way the birthday person would.
What you can personalize
- Their name. Any first name or nickname, exactly as you type it, written into the game, on the cake and in the card. No list of names, so nobody is left out.
- Their age. On the cake and in most of the games, so a 30th looks like a 30th.
- The game. One of 43 mini-games and animated scenes, picked from what they love: animals, sports, arcade oldies, film parodies, manga, scenes from the news.
- Your words. A title, the message, a P.S. and your name as the sender, in any language. The card writes a first message from a few words about them; change it or write your own.
- The look. The colours, the fonts and the paper of the card, and the celebration that plays at the end.
Make it in a minute
- Type their first name and their age.
- Pick their game, or let the card pick one from a few words about them.
- Read the message it wrote and make it yours.
- Preview the whole card, as they will see it, then send the link.
Every step is on one screen. The details are on How it works.

Who it suits
Family and friends far away, a colleague, a grandparent who will not install an app, a child who would rather play than read. There is a card for each of them among the birthday cards by theme and by person, from mom to a best friend or a 30th birthday.

Making and previewing the card is free. Sending it costs 2.60 € in the euro zone, £2.20 in the United Kingdom, CHF 2.40 in Switzerland and $2.90 everywhere else, paid once per card. No subscription, no ads. What is free and what is not is on the free birthday ecard page.
Questions
Can I use any name?
Yes, any first name or nickname, up to 24 characters, written into the card exactly as you type it: accents, apostrophes and other alphabets included. There is no list of names to choose from, so no name is ever missing.
Is their age in the card?
Yes. Give their age and it appears in most of the games, on the cake or in the game itself, and in the card around it. Leave it out and the card simply says happy birthday.
Do I have to write the message myself?
No. From the few words you give about them, the card writes a first message to start from. Change any word of it, or write your own: the title, the message, a P.S. and your name are yours.
Can I write it in my own language?
Yes. The site is in English, but the title, the message and the P.S. are your words, in any language and alphabet, and their name is shown exactly as you type it.
How is it sent?
As a link, on WhatsApp, by text or by email. It opens in their browser with no app and no account, and you are told when it is opened. Making it is free; sending it costs 2.60 € in the euro zone, £2.20 in the United Kingdom, CHF 2.40 in Switzerland and $2.90 everywhere else, once.
