Lively online birth card with a small tiger

Warm colour where most cards stay pale

An online birth card is a page you share as a link, carrying the name, the date, your photographs and a guestbook. It reaches everyone the same evening. This one is built around a drawn tiger, which gives it a bit of mischief that the usual soft announcements tend to avoid.

White text sits on a warm burnt orange, with the tiger sketched beside the name and a rounded typeface for the practical lines. There is nothing pale about it anywhere. It suits a family whose nursery already has more colour than the rest of the house, and it stands out in a feed of gentler cards.

Send the link when you have the energy, and let the family pass it around. They congratulate you in the guestbook, look at the photographs and read when visits are welcome, which spares you the round of messages asking whether tomorrow would be all right. If it is too loud, our other online birth cards keep quieter.

Frequently asked questions

How long does it take to prepare?

Ten minutes. Name, date, weight and a photograph go in, and the layout is finished before you start.

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, which is much easier than reading back several group chats.

Will the tiger suit a girl as well as a boy?

Nothing about the drawing is aimed at one or the other, which is part of why parents choose it. The colour does the work, and the animal simply gives the card something to be about.

Can we change the palette?

Colours, typefaces, photographs and every line can be adjusted. The portfolio holds the softer designs if this is not the right register.

Is it cheaper than printing?

No print run, no envelopes and no stamps. More usefully, a better photograph goes on later and everybody sees it at the same link.
