Personal artwork
A favorite pet. A shared adventure. An inside joke. Bring it into the artwork—not just the message.
Turn real moments
into something special.
Maya's friend started from Make a Wish, added a photo of her dachshund and one instruction, and ended up with a birthday card only Maya would get.
No photo needed. One line about how he really is became a birthday card made for him.
“Make her dachshund the birthday baker. Keep this painted style.”
“He treats making coffee like a science experiment.”
Retirement is more than a last day at work. Start with a story from the years they gave, or something they're excited to have time for now: a garden, a trip, a book still to write. Turn that detail into artwork, or add it to a design you like. Write your thanks and good wishes on the back. We print and mail the postcard, so it can mark the beginning of whatever comes next.
We print and mail it (almost) worldwide.
Photo, template or idea.
Transform, edit, add a little magic.
Add a personal message.
We handle the physical part.
“Congratulations on a career well spent and a calendar that's finally yours.”
“Thank you for all the ways you made work better. Enjoy what comes next.”
“Here's to slower mornings, longer trips and no Monday alarm.”
“You leave big shoes to fill and a lot of good stories behind.”
“Wishing you time for everything you kept saying you'd do someday.”

I started with a photo from my camera roll and expected to spend ages fiddling with it, but the whole thing was surprisingly quick. I tried two styles, moved the text a little, wrote the message on the back and added my sister's address. The preview made it really clear what would be printed. She sent me a photo when it arrived and it looked better than it did on my phone.
Made one on my phone while waiting for a train. Uploaded a holiday photo, used one of the suggested previews or whatever, changed the headline and then wrote the msg. I liked that I didn't have to create an account before I knew I actually wanted the card. Checkout could be easier.
I used atemplate because I had absolutely 0 design ideas. Swapped in my own picture, changed two words and was done. My friend kept it on her fridge which is probably the best review I can give.
I thought the AI bit would be gimmicky but it gave me a really good looking card! Loved it, and I am anti AI usually… but this was a pretty good use of it I think.
Was happy with the result.
Used it to say “thank you” after a weekend with friendls. I chose the flower design, edited the text. Pretty cool with my own handwriting !!!
Sent a baby card to friends abroad. It arrived in time, thank you!
Life saver to be able to import 20 contacts:D I sent one to all of my friends for Thanksgiving. No idea it it will arrive, yet but I certainly hope so ;)
I sent the same postcard to four people from a trip. Adding the extra addresses was much easier than recreating the card each time. That was good. I wish there were more designs to choose from for trips, tho.
I made a congratulations card for my NIECE. I put her fav toy in there as a reference. HOW DID YOU MAKE HER AN ASTRONAUT?! :D : D :D
I did the entire thing one-handed on my phone while holding a baby, so points for that. Also cool that I could add a video. Didnt do that but will think of a good occasion!
I was skeptical because most personalized-card sites look so cheap, but thought I’ll try this one for its cool designs. Likes the AI stuff as well. Crazy stuff really.
Thank them for something specific, share a favorite memory if you have one, then wish them well in the time ahead. If retirement feels complicated for them, keep the message warm without assuming they're ready to celebrate every part of it.
Yes. Add a video message they can open by scanning a QR code. Gather short goodbyes into one clip of up to 60 seconds. Any extra cost is shown before you pay.
Printing takes 2–3 working days, then it goes in the post. Typical arrival after you order: United Kingdom 4–8 working days, Germany 6–10 working days, Sweden 6–10 working days, United States 9–13 working days. Other countries: it depends on the local post. We can't promise a specific day, so order early if it should arrive by their last day.
Yes. A card at home, after the farewell party, can mean even more. Don't know the address? Send them a private link from the app. They fill in their name and address, and it shows up in your address book, ready to use.
Yes. A photo from their early days or a team outing always gets a smile. Upload it from your phone or computer and place it on the front. Your message goes on the back.
Designing the card is free. You only pay for printing and postage, per card, and you see the price before you pay. Sending more cards in one order can lower the price per card.
Real connections. By mail.
Start with your own photo or idea. We’ll print and mail your postcard.
