Birthday greeting cards are a cheerful expression of attention and wishes that we send on an important day for the birthday child. Each card is a small but important expression of our love, respect and support. By sending them, we are not only giving words, but also a piece of our heart and soul. When was the last time you sent a birthday greeting card? You see, it's about time we paid more attention to this topic again, because in our digital age, greetings are usually only sent fleetingly via WhatsApp or other messaging services. Make a difference with birthday greeting cards!

Traditional greeting cards

Classic birthday cards often impress with their simple elegance. They are folded in half and feature images that symbolize the holiday. Sometimes these are pictures of a cake with candles, flowers, colorful balloons or other festive elements.

What makes these cards so special? They can convey heartfelt wishes and congratulations in warm words. The sentences are short and crisp and express what the birthday boy or girl would like to hear on their special day: happiness, good health and lots of success in life.

In terms of design, they are made from various materials, e.g. high-quality cardboard or paper in different textures and colors. They can be decorated with blue or pink ribbons as well as gold or silver accents to give them even more charm.

Traditional style birthday cards are a symbol of warmth, love and attention on an important day for the birthday boy or girl.

Humorous greeting cards

Humorous birthday greeting cards are truly colorful and cheerful masterpieces. With their funny pictures and witty inscriptions, they attract attention.

Such cards contain caricatured images, funny situations or unexpected humorous elements that will make even the most serious people laugh. Humorous birthday greeting cards are a great way to wish a loved one a happy birthday and cheer them up.

Personalized greeting cards

Personalized birthday cards are truly individual works of art that allow you to express your personal feelings and emotions. You can design them with personal photos of the birthday boy or girl or shared memories and add unique text greetings that reflect a closer relationship with the recipient. There are cards with personalized motifs in various shapes and sizes and made from different materials such as cardboard, paper or fabric. They are simply unique and unmistakable and make the perfect gift to bring a smile to the birthday boy or girl's face and give them a real highlight.

How do I choose a birthday card?

Words can say a lot, but they say even more when presented in the form of an interesting card.

Popular wisdom

When choosing a birthday card , we pay attention not only to a beautiful and stylish design, but also to expressing our attentive attitude towards the recipient. It's not just about formality or tradition. To make your choice another pleasant surprise on this wonderful day, follow these recommendations:

  1. Think about how old the recipient is: the style and type of card should be based on this. For adults you can choose a more serious and reserved design, for children a more colorful and fun one.
  2. Think about what the birthday child likes: think about their interests, hobbies and personality. Think about what she likes, for example fairy tale characters, art, music or nature. Then choose a card that suits her.
  3. Also pick out her favorite colors and motifs: If you know what she likes, choose a card with these motifs. This gives the card a personal touch and shows that you've put some thought into it.
  4. Think about which format suits you best: Standard or non-standard postcard format? A large card looks better, but a small and compact card is easier to distribute.
  5. Look at the text: Check what's inside the card. Your personal message is important to express your feelings and wishes.
  6. Think about the quality and finish: Look at what kind of material was used for the card, how it was printed and how it looks. It is important that the card is of high quality and accurately reflects your wishes.
  7. Make the card more personal: Think about whether you want to add a personal photo or a handwritten greeting to the card. This will make your gift even more unique and memorable.
