Quiet online birth card in pastel tones

Sending word while the house is upside down

An online birth card carries the announcement, a few photographs and a guestbook on one page behind a link. Nothing is printed and nothing is posted. In the first days, when the washing machine never stops and nobody knows what time it is, that simplicity is most of the appeal.

A soft sage green fills the card with dark grey text over it, set in a rounded typeface with friendly, open shapes. It is calm without being cold. The palette suits parents who wanted neither blue nor pink and were quietly hoping for a third option that still felt warm.

Send the link whenever you get to it, from the sofa or the hospital, and let it move through the family on its own. People congratulate you in the guestbook, look at the photos and read when a visit would suit, which spares you a round of individual replies. If you want more colour, our other online birth cards have it.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to make?

Ten minutes. You enter the name, the date, the weight and a photograph, and everything else is already in place.

What can the recipients do?

They leave a message of congratulation, look through the photographs and read when visits are welcome. Their messages land in one place, which is far easier to read back than a hundred separate texts.

Is a neutral colour a safe choice?

It sidesteps the blue-or-pink question entirely, which is why a lot of parents land here. The tone is warm enough that it never reads as a compromise, and it suits a boy and a girl equally.

Can we adjust the design?

Colours, typefaces, photographs and all wording are adjustable. The portfolio shows the alternatives if this one is not right.

Is it cheaper than printing?

No print run, no envelopes, no stamps. What tends to matter more is that you can add photographs in the following weeks without sending a second card.
