Why CelebrateWishes

More than a birthday message

A candle to blow out

They blow out the candle, cut the cake, flip open your wish cards and light up a constellation of reasons you love them.

Their photos, beautifully framed

Add up to six photos with handwritten captions, framed as polaroids, arches or film strips depending on the template.

A soft Happy Birthday

A music-box Happy Birthday plays as they scroll. Pick another tune, or turn it off.

Private by design

Only people with the link can open it, and it stays out of search engines. Add a passcode for extra privacy.

Send it anywhere

Share it on WhatsApp, by email, text or Telegram, or print the QR code inside a real card.

Keep it forever

Download a keepsake card image, and edit your wish any time. The link stays the same.

Questions

Good to know

What should I write in a birthday wish?

Use their name, add one memory or something you love about them, and finish with a wish for the year ahead. Two or three sentences is plenty. Any wish on this page makes a good starting point.

Can I add photos and music?

Yes. Add up to six photos and choose from music-box tunes, including Happy Birthday. We resize your photos on your device first, so they upload and open fast.

Does the birthday person need an app?

No. They tap the link and it opens in their browser on any phone, tablet or computer, with no account needed.

Is it free?

Yes. During launch every template and feature is free, with no card and no trial. You need a free account to publish a wish, and you can design it before you sign up.

Someone’s day is about to get better.
