Why a written birthday card beats a bought one
A shop card carries someone else's verse and your signature. The part people keep is the part you wrote. That is the whole idea here: you type the name, how you know them and one memory only the two of you share, and the card is built around that detail instead of around a generic birthday greeting. It works whether you see them every day or once a year — in fact it works best for the people you do not see often, because a specific memory closes the distance faster than a paragraph of catching up.
What you actually get
One payment gives you a finished vertical story card at 1080x1920 — the size that fills a phone screen and prints cleanly at postcard size. You get the high-resolution download, a private link you can send on WhatsApp, iMessage or email, and the option to have it delivered straight to the person's inbox on a date you choose. Nothing is published anywhere public, there is no account to keep and there is no subscription. If you would rather send photos and music, The Letter Edit turns the same words into a short vertical video with your pictures, a soundtrack and a closing signature.
Good details to include
The strongest birthday cards name something small and true: the nickname nobody else uses, the trip where everything went wrong, the thing they always say on the phone, the age they are pretending not to be. One detail is enough. If you are stuck, answer this instead — what would you miss most about them if they moved to the other side of the world? That sentence usually becomes the line they screenshot.
Example wording you can steal
Warm
“Thirty-one years of you and I still tell people the story about the airport. Happy birthday — thank you for being the person who always picks up.”
Funny
“Another year, same terrible taste in music. Happy birthday. I hope your cake is bigger than your last excuse for missing the gym.”
Long distance
“Two countries, one group chat, and somehow you never miss a birthday. This year it is my turn. Happy birthday — the next coffee is on me, whichever city that ends up being.”
How it works

Questions people ask
- How fast can I send a birthday card?
- Most people finish in three or four minutes. After payment the card is generated and your download and share link appear on the same page.
- Can I print it?
- Yes. The download is a 1080x1920 PNG, which prints cleanly at postcard size and looks right on any phone screen.
- Is there a subscription?
- No. A story card is a single €4 payment and The Letter Edit is €9. Nothing recurring, no stored card.
- Can I schedule it to arrive on their birthday?
- Yes. At checkout you can send it to their email address, and you choose whether it goes now or on the morning of the birthday.
- What if I do not know them that well?
- A name, the occasion and one small detail is enough. The card is written to sound thoughtful rather than intimate, so it suits colleagues and friends-of-friends too.
