Free birthday cards
you can actually send

Build the card, send the link, the recipient opens it. Premium effects (balloons, rockets, glitter) are an optional $2.99, never required.

Common questions
Is Birthdaypage really free?+
Yes, sending a birthday card is free. GIFs, photos, notes, gift links, and the basic confetti effect are all free. Optional premium effects (balloons, rockets, glitter stars, custom emoji confetti) are $2.99 per card if you want them.
What's the catch?+
No catch. The site is small and self-funded. There are no ads and the recipient sees the card without any branding takeover. Premium effects are an optional sparkle, not a paywall around the card itself.
Do I need an account to send a free birthday card?+
You enter your email on the last step so you can come back and edit the card later, but no password is required. The recipient needs nothing; they just click the link.
Is there a watermark on the card?+
No. The card shows the message, GIFs, and gifts you added. The only Birthdaypage branding is a small footer link, not a takeover.
Are there limits on how many cards I can send?+
No hard limits. Send one a year for your mom, or twenty in a week for the office. Both are fine.
