Create personalised birthday group cards with heartfelt messages, photos, videos, and GIFs, perfect for teams, friends, and loved ones, ready in seconds.
Optional: Add a Group gift collection pot so friends and family can contribute towards a birthday gift.
A group birthday card is a digital card friends, family or colleagues sign together from one shared link, instead of passing a paper card around. Everyone adds their own message, photo, video or GIF from anywhere, and the finished card is delivered to the birthday person on the date you choose. It's also called an online birthday card, digital birthday card or birthday eCard, and they all mean the same thing.
It's the same idea as the card that goes round the office, only nobody has to hide it, chase signatures, or leave out the people who aren't in that day. See how a group card works.
Friends, family, the whole team, wherever they are. One link, and no one is left out because they live too far away or were off that day.
Professionally designed, AI-enhanced artwork. Add a photo of the birthday person, even a fun AI face-swap, to the cover.
Contributors just open the link and write their message. No app to download, and no login, so nobody drops out halfway.
Set it to land first thing on their birthday, so it arrives at exactly the right moment, even if you are busy on the day.
Contributors can add favourite memories, record a video message, or drop in the perfect GIF, the stuff a paper card can never hold.
A digital card they can revisit and download any time, with no recycling bin a week later.
Award-winning, too: ExpressWithACard was named Digital Greetings Card Platform of the Year 2026/27 by the Prestige Awards.
