How to Create a Birthday Card

A birthday card is a birthday-themed card with text and images relating to a certain person's birthday. It is given to the recipient in celebration of their birthday. A birthday card will include text of a celebratory and congratulatory nature. They can be sent out physically (if printed), or digitally (if virtual).

Sending a birthday card can demonstrate your strong bond with the receiver, as receiving a physical birthday card lets someone know that you are thinking of them, and is much more personal than simply writing an email.
