How to Print a Birthday Card at Home

It only takes a few minutes:

1. Pick your card — browse the birthday card collection and choose a design you love.
2. Personalise it — type your message directly on the card using the online editor.
3. Click Print — the card opens as a print-ready page. Use standard letter or A4 paper.
4. Fold and sign — fold the printed sheet in half (or quarters for a booklet style) and you're done.

Tips for the Best Result

• Use white card stock (65 lb / 176 gsm) for a sturdier feel — most office supply stores carry it.
• Set your printer to Best or High Quality mode for crisp colours.
• If your printer has a borderless option, use it for edge-to-edge designs.
• Let the ink dry for 30 seconds before folding to avoid smudging.

Rather Send It Digitally?

Not near a printer? No problem. You can also send a free birthday eCard directly from the site — just personalise, enter an email address, and it's delivered instantly. Perfect for last-minute birthdays or reaching someone far away.
