Personalised Photo Birthday Card

About this design

A birthday card they step inside, on their phone. The card opens, they go through a little window into a rose garden, and walk down the path past six framed photos of your family, each with your own caption. At the end there is a table with a sealed letter (your message) and a present (your gift line, for example "We're taking you to the theatre!").

Personalise it for a 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th or any birthday. Type their age and name in the editor: the card heading and bottle label change to match, as does the included printable. Suitable for Mum, Dad, Nan, Grandad, a partner or a friend. It also works for anniversaries and thank-yous.

You fill it in yourself on your phone in a few minutes: add your own photos, captions and message. Then send them one link by WhatsApp, text or email. They tap it, and it plays on their own phone with music and sounds.

What they see

• A champagne card on their screen with their chosen age and name, for example "Happy 50th Birthday, To a very special Sarah", and the age on the bottle label
• The card swings open and they push through the window, with a shower of gold sparkle, into a rose garden
• A walk down the garden path, one tap at a time, past six framed photos with your captions. Tap a photo and it comes up big
• A table at the end of the path, with flowers, a sealed letter and a present
• They tap the letter and it unfolds: your message, signed with your names
• They tap the present: your gift line and confetti
• Music and sounds play as they go (there is a sound button if they want it off)
• Buttons at the end to walk again or say thank you
• Sent by WhatsApp it arrives as a picture card, not a bare link

What you fill in

• Their name, for example Mum, Dad, Nan, Grandad or a first name
• The occasion: a birthday with their age, an anniversary with the years, or a thank you
• Your 6 photos, with a short caption for each (for example "Brighton, 1984")
• Your message for the letter
• Who it is from, for example "Love from Gary, Lisa & the Grandkids"
• The present, in one line (theatre tickets, a spa day, a weekend away), or leave it out and the table shows just the letter
• Optional: a voice note or a short video that plays from the letter

Perfect for

A 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 70th, 80th, 90th or any birthday, a wedding anniversary for Mum and Dad, a thank you to a grandparent, aunt or friend, or a family far away who can't be there on the day.
