Common questions

Is this actually personalized, or just a template?: Actually personalized. We start with the photo you upload and generate an original illustration in your chosen style — watercolor, painterly, or warm modern. No template, no name-swap.
What do you write in a get well card for your mom or dad?: Specific care. Skip 'feel better soon' — your parent doesn't need a Hallmark line from you. Bring a memory ('thinking of you and that summer at the lake'), bring a specific offer ('I'm bringing soup Friday'), or just say what you'd say in person. From the grandkids works too — kids' voices on the QR is often what gets them through the hard days. Stuck? Tap AI Message.
How fast can I send it?: Cards mail within 24 hours of order. USPS first-class is typically 3-5 business days. For surgery, chemotherapy, or a specific procedure day, you can also schedule the card to arrive on a specific date at checkout.
Can I mail it to a hospital?: Yes. Enter the hospital address at checkout, including the patient's room number if you have it. For longer stays, most hospitals will deliver mail to the patient's room. For shorter stays, mailing to their home is often easier — it'll be waiting when they get back.
What's the QR code on the card?: Record a 15-second voice or video message. We print a QR code on the inside of the card. When the recipient scans it with their phone, your message plays. For someone in recovery, hearing a friend's voice often lands harder than reading a card — they can play it more than once on the bad days.
How much does a card cost?: $19.99/year subscription, then $1.78 per card sent — everything included (custom illustration, envelope, stamp, USPS mailing). A retail get well card runs roughly $5-9 all-in. Your first card is free.
Can I send the card without subscribing?: Yes — your first card is free, no subscription required. After that, the $19.99/year membership unlocks unlimited sends at $1.78 each.
