Milestone Birthday Cards

Milestone birthday cards: every big number, one place

A milestone birthday card has one job: make the number feel like a win rather than a warning. This is every milestone birthday card we make, from a 16th through to a 75th, with the message pages that tell you what to write in each one.

All of our milestone birthday cards are designed in house, printed in the UK on heavyweight card and posted first class with a kraft envelope, usually the same working day.

Frequently asked questions

What counts as a milestone birthday?

In the UK the milestone birthdays are 16, 18, 21 and then every decade — 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 — with 65 and 75 treated as big ones too. We make cards for all of them.

What do you write in a milestone birthday card?

Name the number, then say something only you could say about them. Our per-age message pages have 40+ lines each if you want a starting point.

How fast do milestone birthday cards arrive?

Order before the afternoon post and your card goes out first class the same working day, so most UK addresses have it the next day.
