Birthday cards can feel like a drain on your wallet, especially when you consider they’re often opened and tossed aside seconds after being received. Spending three to four dollars on a card that barely gets noticed seems like a waste, particularly for kids.
As we approach another birthday party season, I’ve discovered a delightful solution. I stumbled upon some charming vintage birthday images and decided to create my own cards using business cards. I simply printed the image on both the front and back, leaving space to fill in the “to” and “from.” A quick hole punch in the corner and a ribbon tied around the gift, and voilà! It’s simple, creative, and, best of all, budget-friendly.
If you’re interested in trying this out, I’ve shared a template you can use. Feel free to customize it or grab mine—though I didn’t personalize them this time since I wasn’t sure which of my kids would be giving the gift, I plan to include all their names next time. There are plenty of copyright-free images available online, or you could even use a photo of your child, which would add a personal touch. How fun would that be?
