But aside from their pictures, you can also put birthday symbols to make the card more amusing to look at. Usually, these images are on the front side of the card so it can be seen at first glance. Though, you can put some images on the back side of the card. Be creative on the placements of these decors and make sure that it looks appropriate when placed on the card.

Quotes

Some cards have quotations placed inside or on the front page of the card. It is an introduction to what the card is about or a simple thought to pass on to the recipient. These quotes are something they can ponder over as they celebrate another year in their life. You also may find these quotes on some templates online. On the other hand, some cards also do not have quotes written on the front page, but they usually have a huge “Happy Birthday” block text that fills the majority of the space.

Premade Cards

These are the cards that you can find in bookstores, gift shops, and other places that sell it. This is best to use if you are in a rush and you have a little time to start making a card from scratch. This applies to situations where you do last-minute shopping. Since the premade cards already have designs and texts inside, you can just add your own message inside. Though, you can still modify it the way you want like adding some accessories to it and the likes.

Types of Birthday Cards

Did you know that are different types of birthday cards that can be sent to someone? Acquaint yourselves with these types to identify which one is appropriate for the person you are sending it to. Here is a short guide for you to consider.

Humorous and Risqué Cards

These are the cards with comical words written on it. The greetings are in form of jokes and puns which make the card very lighthearted in general. It also uses funny-looking images, caricatures, or even cartoons that are in very lively colors. These funny cards are best given to people who have a very bubbly personality. Apart from that, you can also send cards with adult-based remarks for open-minded recipients. Though, you have to be careful because risqué cards can offend some who are really not into it.

Sincere Cards

Sincere cards are the standard cards you send and receive that have a greeting in front and a wise quote inside. The contents of this card are appropriate to the occasion and can be considered as inspirational for some. These are the type of cards where you write a heartfelt message before signing it with your name. Ideally, this is given to parents, mentors, and significant others.

Photo Cards

Another common type is the photo card. It holds a picture of the celebrant at the center of the front page of the card. It can be a recent photograph or an old one, whichever you prefer to use. They are typically sent on holidays. For handmade cards, the photos are slipped on the frame-like portion of the card. Meanwhile, in digital photo cards you can download online, the images are edited on the card itself. A photo card can be amusing at times or it can be really sentimental.

Musical Cards

They are the cards that sing the traditional “Happy Birthday to You” song when opened. Sending this is like serenading the person during their day. Other alternatives to physical musical cards are digital musical cards that can be sent through email and other media sights. If there are other messages that go with the music, they are most likely written on the front page. This is great to send to significant others and friends and will surely brighten up their day. If you can’t find the words to express your birthday greetings, let the tunes speak for you instead.

Pop-Up Cards

Unlike musical cards, pop-ups have images or objects welcoming the recipient by the time they open their cards. In a way, this is a card that holds a literal surprise inside it. In some cards, the pop-up is consist of shapes that represent roses, balloons, or gifts. A pop-up happy birthday sign can be the pop-up too. This is best to send to pranksters and jokesters, but it can still be applicable to any person you want to send to.

Regardless of what type you want to send to someone celebrating their day, you must remember that it is the thought behind the gift that matters most. Put your heart on what you give, and rest assured, the person who will receive it will appreciate it.
