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 Sweet 16 birthday card?: Sixteen-year-olds want to be seen as the person they're becoming, not the kid they were. The card lands when it acknowledges who they ARE — the specific thing about who they're becoming that surprises you, the way they handle something at sixteen you couldn't have at the same age. Skip 'congrats on Sweet 16!' generic. Stuck? Tap AI Message.
Can I include the milestone age in the card?: Yes — the age can appear in the illustration, in the printed message, or both. For milestone birthdays the age IS the moment, so most senders feature it prominently.
How long does delivery take?: Cards mail within 24 hours of order. USPS first-class is typically 3-5 business days. You can also schedule the card to arrive on the actual birthday at checkout.
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 milestone birthdays specifically, this is the part that gets re-watched on subsequent birthdays — voices from this moment, saved.
How much does a card cost?: $19.99/year subscription, then $1.78 per card sent — everything included. Your first card is free.
Can I send the card without subscribing?: Yes — your first card is free, no subscription required.
