Soft online birth card for a quiet announcement

Warmth without anything overly sweet

An online birth card holds the name, the date, a handful of photographs and a guestbook on one page, reached by a link. It arrives the day you send it and forwards for free. This design sits between the plain and the playful, which is where a surprising number of parents want to be.

A dusty rose accent picks out the details against an almost-white ground, with dark grey text in a rounded, friendly typeface. There is no illustration at all. The warmth comes entirely from the colour and the spacing, which makes it a safe choice when you have no idea yet what your taste in baby things is.

Send the link once you have caught your breath, which for most people is day two or three. People congratulate you in the guestbook, look at the photographs and read when visits are welcome, and you add better photos in the weeks that follow. Anyone opening the page again later sees whatever you have added since. For something with a motif, our other online birth cards have plenty.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take?

Ten minutes. Name, date, weight and a photograph go in, and the layout is already done.

What can the recipients do?

They leave a message of congratulation, look through the photographs and read when a visit would suit. Everything arrives in one place, ready for a moment when you can actually read it.

Is a card without an illustration too plain?

The photograph becomes the illustration, which is usually what people wanted to see anyway. Parents who dislike drawn animals but still want warmth tend to land here quite quickly.

Can we add colour?

Colours, typefaces, photographs and all wording are adjustable. Look through the portfolio for the designs with a stronger palette.

Is it cheaper than printing?

No print run, no envelopes and no stamps. What helps more is that a second photograph costs nothing, and nobody needs a second card.
