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 an adoption card?: Honor that this family came together a different way without making it the whole subject of the card. Don't say 'lucky' about the baby — say 'lucky' about the family that gets to know this child. Don't ask about the bio family unless they want to talk about it. The cards adoptive parents keep are the ones that treat their family as a family, not a story. Stuck? Tap AI Message.
Can I include cash or a gift card inside?: Yes. The envelope is standard greeting-card size and easily holds a check, cash, or a flat gift card. Many senders include a registry receipt or a note about a gift coming separately.
Can I schedule it to arrive the week of the birth, or wait until they're home from the hospital?: Both. At checkout, pick the arrival date. Most senders wait until the family is home from the hospital (usually a week or so after the birth) — cards landing during the hospital stay often get lost in the chaos. For baby showers, send to arrive a few days BEFORE the shower so the host can include it on the table.
Can I mail it to the hospital?: Yes, but most hospitals discourage non-essential mail to maternity wards. The family's home or the baby shower host's address is almost always a better choice. Hospital stays are short and unpredictable.
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 new parents, this is the part they re-watch on the hard days — the third week of no sleep, the first time they leave the baby with a sitter. 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 new baby 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.
