- We email you when it ships.
Why a physical card still matters
A text is gone by the afternoon. A card goes on the fridge or into a drawer of things worth keeping. For grandparents, parents and old friends, a handwritten card often means more than the gift it comes with.
It's also the right size of gesture for people you care about but don't usually buy for: a coworker, a mentor, a neighbor, an aunt.
What to write
Skip the generic “Happy birthday, hope it's a great one.” Name one specific thing: a memory, something they did for you this year, or a habit of theirs you admire. Two or three honest sentences beat a full page of filler.
Sign it the way you'd sign it in person. If it's from the whole family, say so.
Pricing and delivery
The Handwritten Note costs $15 including shipping. It ships within the US only, with an estimated arrival window from three days before the occasion through the day itself. Mail timing varies, so book early for important dates—if you're booking late, you'll see that before you confirm.
You can also add a card alongside flowers, cookies or a candle by scheduling it as its own gift for the same date.
Questions
Is the card actually handwritten?
Yes. Your message is written out by hand on a physical card and mailed—it isn't printed in a handwriting font.
How much does it cost to send a handwritten card?
$15, with shipping included, for delivery to any US address.
Can I schedule a birthday card in advance?
Yes, up to 365 days ahead. You pay when you confirm, and we mail it to arrive in the estimated window before the birthday.
Can I send a card internationally?
No. Daymark mails cards within the United States only.
