Bold online birth card for a modern announcement

For parents who dislike frills

An online birth card is a page behind a link, holding the name, the details and a place for everyone to answer. It goes out the same day. This one drops the pastel entirely, which is what a good number of parents are quietly hoping to find.

A deep teal fills the card and the type sits on top in white, set in a rounded sans serif with real weight to it. No ribbons, no bears. The result reads as a statement rather than a decoration, and it holds up equally well on a phone in daylight and on a laptop at the office.

Share the link when you are ready, which for most people is somewhere between the first night and the third day. Recipients congratulate you in the guestbook, look at the photos and read when you would like visitors, and you can add more photos later without resending anything. For something softer, our other online birth cards cover that too.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to set up?

Ten minutes. You enter the name, the date, the weight and a photograph, and the layout needs nothing from you.

What can recipients do?

They leave a message of congratulation, look through the photos and read when visits are welcome. Everything they write arrives in one place, ready to read when you have a quiet moment.

Is a dark card unusual for a birth announcement?

It is less common, which is rather the point. The white type on a saturated ground gives excellent contrast, and parents who never wanted a pastel card tend to find this a relief.

Can we soften it?

Colours and typefaces are fully adjustable, so a lighter version is a few clicks away. The portfolio also holds gentler starting points.

Is it cheaper than printing?

No print run, no envelopes, no stamps. The bigger gain is that nothing has to be reprinted when you decide to add a better photograph a week later.
