Make a birthday scratch card online

Make it personal

1. Start with the matching design below, or use your own photo.
2. Write the surprise. You can add a date, place and calendar event.
3. Create your link and send it by WhatsApp, another app or email. Keep the separate management link to check openings or edit the card.

Use a personal photo and keep the gift out of the public link preview. A time lock can keep the surprise closed until their birthday.

Ideas for your message

• Happy birthday! Dinner is booked for Saturday at seven.
• Your surprise: two tickets to your favourite band.
• Pack an overnight bag. Your birthday adventure starts tomorrow.

Your photo and message are encrypted in your browser. The decryption key stays in the link fragment. Only share the recipient link with people who should see the card. The link preview is public: keep spoilers out of its image and wording.

Choose an expiry of 7, 30, 90 or 365 days. Once opened, a card expires after at most another 14 days, or earlier if its original expiry arrives first. An opening is a page visit, not proof that someone finished scratching.
