What is a group congratulations card?

A group congratulations card is a digital card that friends, family or colleagues sign together from one shared link to celebrate an achievement, a new job, a promotion, a graduation, an engagement or any big win. Everyone adds their own message, photo, video or GIF from anywhere, and the finished card is sent to the recipient the moment the news breaks, or scheduled for the big day.

What to write in a congratulations card

The golden rule for a congrats message: name the actual achievement, then keep it short. Here's a starter for whatever they've just pulled off.

On a new job

  • Congratulations on the new job! They're lucky to have you, now go and show them exactly why.
  • So excited for you! A new chapter, and you're more than ready for it. Knock 'em dead.

On a promotion

  • Completely deserved. It's brilliant to see your hard work recognised, congratulations on the promotion!
  • Onwards and upwards, and about time too. So proud of you, and not at all surprised.

Graduation & exams

  • You did it! All those late nights were worth it. So proud of you, congratulations, graduate.
  • You set your mind to it and you smashed it. Go and celebrate, you've earned every bit of this.

On an engagement

  • So thrilled for you both! Here's to the start of the best adventure. Congratulations on the engagement.
  • Two of our favourite people, one very happy day. Wishing you a lifetime of it.

On a new home

  • Congratulations on the new place! Wishing you happy years and a lot of good memories in it.
  • Keys in hand at last! So pleased for you, here's to making it a home.

Just a big well done

  • You absolute star. Whatever it took, you did it, and we couldn't be prouder.
  • Take a moment to be proud of yourself, because we certainly are. Well done!

Frequently asked

Everything you need to know

Create a card on ExpressWithACard, share the link with friends or colleagues via email or Slack, and let everyone add their own message, photo, video, or GIF. Once it's ready, send it straight to the recipient's inbox or schedule it for the big day.

Name the specific achievement, then keep it short and warm, one to three sentences is plenty on a shared card. "Congratulations on the promotion, completely deserved" beats a generic "well done". Match your tone to the person: playful for a friend, a little more polished for someone senior. See the message ideas above for new jobs, promotions, graduations, engagements and more.

Celebrate the achievement and the person behind it. For example: "You did it! Your hard work truly paid off, congratulations on the new role, you've earned every bit of it." You can also use our AI tool to generate a heartfelt message in seconds.
