Birthday cards for a friend
Not every friend is your ride-or-die, but every friend likes knowing you remembered. A HeartCraft birthday card is a warm, quick way to say it: they pop balloons, blow out candles, cut the cake and read the message you wrote, all in their browser.
You’ll make it in our birthday editor, birthday.myheartcraft.com.
Cute & Sweet is friendly and cheerful, Bestie is loud and playful, Classic is polished enough for a colleague or a friend’s parent, and Miles Apart suits a friend who has moved to another city or country.
It takes about a minute to make, so it is a good answer to the birthday reminder you just saw — and far more memorable than a comment on their post.

Frequently asked questions
Is it OK to send a digital birthday card to a colleague?
Yes. Classic is a safe, elegant choice for work friends. Keep the message warm and simple, and share the link in a direct message or the team chat.
I forgot my friend’s birthday. Is it too late?
Not at all — a belated card that clearly took some effort beats a rushed text. Say you are late, own it with a joke and send it anyway.
Do they need an account to open it?
No. They tap the link and it opens in the browser. No app, no signup.
