Birthday Card Size and Download Details
All of the cards come with a plain page for you to write ‘Happy Birthday!’ on and also any other message you would like to include. We’re proving you with a few ideas of what to write below so keep reading for that!
In terms of the size, each card measures 10.3 inches x 5.5 inches (that’s about 25.4 cm x 14 cm), and they come in a handy PDF file format too.
Follow these steps in order to download a card:
1. Click on the image of the card you wish to download
2. This opens a PDF file in another window
3. Either print the file from here, or you can save it to your PC or device and print it out later.
And the best part is that it’s totally free to do so!
The only thing we may recommend is picking up some good quality cardstock if you would like the card to feel more traditional and be longer lasting. A basic envelope may be helpful too if you would prefer to pop it in one.

Some Fun Messages to Put in Our Cards
Now that we’ve found you the perfect birthday card to give that special someone a good laugh, you’ll of course need to write something else inside it.
Sometimes it’s difficult to know exactly what to write, and we know that a little inspiration is always helpful, so here are a few different things to get you started.
Classic ideas:
Happy Birthday!
Enjoy your special day
Wishing you all the best on your birthday
Celebrating you today and always
Hope you have the best birthday
Heartfelt messages:
I hope your day is filled with love, laughter, and joy
Can’t wait to see what your next year of life brings
I hope your day is as lovely as you
Happy birthday to someone I couldn’t live without
Humorous messages:
Like a fine wine, you only get better with age!
No matter how old you get, thank goodness I’ll still be younger than you!
I may not say it every day but seeing as it’s your special day… you’re always right!
Please stop ageing so gracefully. It’s getting kind of boring and predictable.
Of course you can also customize them to the role that the person you’re gifting the card to plays in your life. Here’s a few examples below.
For a mom – ‘Happy Birthday Mom! The more time goes by, the more grateful I am to have you as my mother.’
For a dad – ’Happy Birthday to the man who taught me everything I know, from the kid who paid attention to roughly half of everything you tried to teach!’
For an adult son/daughter – ‘Happy Birthday!’ Through the years, you’ve made us laugh, cry, cheer, worry, smile, and – maybe a few times – yell. But more than anything, you’ve made us proud.’
For a partner or significant other – ‘Happy Birthday! Your birthday cake is only the second sweetest thing around, after you!’
For a friend – ‘It just occurred to me that we really are becoming OLD friends! Happy Birthday!’
And of course there are plenty of other ways you can wish that special someone a great day. Use a nickname or pet name that you’ve always called them to make it just that little bit more personal. Write a little bit about a favorite memory you have together. Or even tell them a joke that you know they’ll love!
