The practical stuff
Birthday card questions
What is an online group birthday card?
A birthday card that friends, family or coworkers all sign online from one link, instead of passing a paper card around. With LittleSurprise it opens as a little capsule machine, and the birthday person opens each message one by one.
How do I get everyone to sign it?
Share the signing link in the group chat, a text or an email. It opens in any browser, so people who live far away can sign as easily as everyone nearby.
Do friends need an account to sign it?
No. Only the organizer makes an account, to save and manage the card. Friends sign from the link, and the birthday person opens it without signing up.
Can it open right on their birthday?
Yes. On Celebration and up you can pick the date and time it opens, like midnight on their birthday. You can send the link early, and it shows a countdown until then.
What should I write in a birthday card?
Say one thing you love about them, bring up a good memory or an inside joke, and wish them a great year ahead. A few honest lines mean more than a long generic message.
How many people can sign one card?
Up to 40 on Keepsake, and a Keepsake card can add more room, up to 200 messages in total.
Is it free?
Yes, you can make as many free cards as you like, each with 2 messages including yours. For a bigger group, Celebration is $9.99 USD for 15 messages with photos, and Keepsake is $19.99 USD for 40 messages with photos and voice messages. It is one payment per card, never a subscription. Signing and opening are always free.
Will they find out before it’s ready?
No. They only see it when you send them the finished card’s link. Contributors use a separate link to sign, so keep that one out of their inbox.
