Their day
The birthday card, rewritten as a letter.
Give them something to open first thing on their birthday: a sealed letter that unlocks at midnight, with photos from the year and a song to start the day.
A letter for Rosie
Tap the seal to open
Unlock at midnight
Schedule the letter to open the minute their birthday begins. Send the link early and let the countdown do the teasing.
Make it a scrapbook
The Scrapbook template tapes your photos in like polaroids — perfect for a year-in-review of all the ridiculous, wonderful moments.
Pair it with a gift
Print the letter's QR code and tie it to a present. The gift is the surprise; the letter is the part they'll keep.
