Cheerful online birth card with a panda

Something the whole family will smile at

An online birth card gathers the name, the date, the photographs and a guestbook onto one page that travels as a link. Nothing gets printed and nothing gets lost in the post. This one is on the lighter side, built around a drawn panda holding a balloon, which is about as universally liked as an illustration gets.

A crisp white ground keeps the card open, with black text and a teal accent picking out the balloon and the details. The rounded typeface keeps it friendly without shouting. It works for a first child, and it works equally well when there is already a toddler in the house who will want to look at it too.

Send the link when you are ready and let it move through the family. People congratulate you in the guestbook, look at the photographs and read when visits are welcome, so you are not fielding the same question all week. If a quieter card suits you better, our other online birth cards include several.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take?

Ten minutes. Name, date, weight and a photograph go in, and the layout asks nothing further of you.

What can the recipients do?

They leave a message of congratulation, look through the photos and read when a visit would suit. Their messages arrive in one place, ready for whenever you feel like reading them.

Does the white background suit a birth card?

It leaves the illustration and the photograph all the room, which is usually what people want to look at. The teal accent gives the page just enough colour to feel like an announcement rather than a form.

Can we swap the illustration?

Colours, typefaces, photographs and every line can be adjusted. The portfolio holds designs with other motifs and some with none at all.

Is it cheaper than printed cards?

No print run, no envelopes, no stamps. What helps more in the first weeks is being able to add photographs later without sending anything twice.
