Moonpig Alternative for Birthday Cards

A Moonpig alternative for birthday cards

Birthday cards are what most people are actually buying when they go looking for a Moonpig alternative. It's the card you buy most often, so it's the one where the price, the postage and the sameness of the designs start to grate.

Our birthday range is drawn in house and covers the whole spread: milestone ages from 16th to 90th, cards for mums, dads, partners, best mates and colleagues, and the rude ones you'd only send to someone who'd send one back.

Every card is blank inside, printed in the UK and posted first class. If the wording is the hard part, we've written hundreds of birthday messages you can copy straight in.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a cheaper alternative to Moonpig for birthday cards?

Yes. Independent studios like ours sell birthday cards at one flat price with no size or finish upgrades, and buying several in one order means one delivery rather than one per card.

Do you cover milestone birthdays?

Every milestone from 16th and 18th through 21st, 30th, 40th, 50th, 60th, 65th, 70th, 75th, 80th and 90th, plus generic designs for the years in between.

Can I buy birthday cards in bulk?

You can mix and match as many designs as you like in one order. Plenty of customers buy the whole year's birthdays at once and keep them in a drawer.

Are the cards blank inside?

Yes. Every card is blank inside so you can write your own message. If you're stuck, our birthday message pages have hundreds of lines to copy.

How quickly do birthday cards arrive?

We post first class every working day, usually the same day you order, so most UK addresses have it within a couple of days.
