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 just-because card to your dad?: Dads often won't acknowledge these cards out loud — but they keep them in the workshop drawer. Specific over sweeping. A memory from childhood. The thing he taught you that you finally use as an adult. A line from a phone call. He'll re-read it. Stuck? Tap AI Message.
Won't it feel weird to send a card for no reason?: It won't. That's the whole point. Cards that arrive without a calendar excuse land harder than the ones that arrive because Hallmark says it's time. The recipient knows nothing prompted you — which is what makes it mean something. The cards people keep longest are the just-because ones, not the birthday ones.
When should I send a just-because card?: When you think of someone and the thought stays with you for more than a day. There's no wrong time. The most common moments senders describe: after a phone call that surprised them, the week they realized they hadn't talked to someone in a while, on a quiet Sunday morning, after a memory popped up in their photo app. The threshold for sending one should be low.
How long does delivery take?: Cards mail within 24 hours of order. USPS first-class is typically 3-5 business days. No urgency on these — the surprise is part of the gift.
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 just-because cards specifically, the QR is often what makes the moment real — they hear your voice for the first time in weeks or months, just saying you were thinking of them.
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 card runs roughly $5-9 all-in. Your first card is free. The subscription pays off fast on just-because cards because the natural send rate is monthly or more.
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.
