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, modern, and more. No template, no name-swap.
What do you write in a college graduation card?: Specific over generic. The thing you watched them become over the four years. The class they took that changed them. The friend they made. The phone call when you knew they were going to be okay. Don't try to wrap a bow on the whole experience — name one moment. Stuck? Tap AI Message.
Can I include cash inside the card?: Yes. The envelope is a standard greeting-card size and easily holds cash or a check. Graduation cards are one of the most common gift-cash deliveries; we don't process the gift handling — you tuck whatever you want inside before sealing.
Can I schedule it to arrive on graduation day?: Yes. At checkout, pick the arrival date. Most senders prefer the card arrives the day OF or the week AFTER graduation — too early and it gets buried in the pre-ceremony chaos, too late and the moment has passed.
Can I mail it to a college dorm or to the family's home?: Both. For high school grads, the family's home is almost always the right address — they'll still be living there. For college grads, the family's home is often safer than the dorm (which they're vacating). Grad school is a coin flip — ask first if you're not sure.
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. For graduation specifically, this is the part the grad re-watches every time they move apartments and find the card in a box — a voice from this moment, saved.
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 graduation 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.
