Warm online birth card with a giraffe

Suited to a nursery already full of animals

An online birth card gathers the name, the date, your photographs and a guestbook onto one page reached by a link. It costs nothing to forward and arrives at once. This design puts a drawn giraffe beside the name, which is about the friendliest animal you can put on a card without it becoming twee.

Deep warm brown text sits on a soft cream ground, with the giraffe sketched in the same earthy palette. The typefaces are plain and open, so the illustration is the only decorative thing on the page. It suits a room that already has a shelf of animals, and it ages better than most illustrated cards.

Send the link as soon as you are ready. Family and friends congratulate you in the guestbook, look at the photographs and read when a visit would suit, so the week organises itself without a dozen separate conversations. For a card without an animal, our other online birth cards have several.

Frequently asked questions

How quickly can it be ready?

Ten minutes. Name, date, weight and a photograph go in, and everything else is arranged already.

What can the recipients do?

They leave a message of congratulation, look through the photographs and read when a visit would suit. The messages collect in one place, ready for a moment when you can read them properly.

Does the illustration date quickly?

The drawing is simple and the palette is earthy rather than fashionable, which is why it wears well. Parents who kept the card as a keepsake tend to still like it a couple of years later.

Can we change the design?

Colours, typefaces, photographs and all wording are adjustable. The portfolio shows the plainer designs and the bolder ones.

Is it cheaper than printed cards?

No print run, no envelopes and no stamps. The greater help is that a better photograph goes on later without anybody needing a second card.
