Birthday Edition

A funny birthday letter they will read out loud at the party

Another trip around the sun. The same old habits. Tell us what they have been up to all year and we turn it into an official birthday notice, with cake, candles, a threat level and a mission for the year ahead.

A birthday card they will not throw away

Birthday cards get a glance and land in a drawer. An official birthday complaint gets read out loud, passed around the table and photographed. It is about their real life, so everyone at the party gets the joke right away.

Pair it with the certificate and their gift becomes a mission: complete the challenge on the letter, then open the sealed award.

Official Complaint Notice

Department of Household Emergencies · Birthday Edition

THREAT LEVEL 4 · CANDLE ADVISORY

Dear Maya,

Happy birthday. The Department has reviewed the past 365 days and opened a case.

  • Replied "haha" to 212 messages without reading them.
  • Promised to return a borrowed sweater "next time". There have been 14 next times.
  • The fire department has asked us to limit the candles this year.
YOUR MISSION: Return the sweater before your next birthday.

How it works

  1. Tell us what they did

    Tap an idea or type it plainly. Add one real, funny detail if you have one.

  2. Pick the tone

    From Mild Concern to Full Disaster Movie. The preview rewrites itself as you go.

  3. Print it, mail it, or both

    Print it at home in minutes, have us seal it and mail it, or do both: hand over the printout today and let the official copy arrive later. A reply QR code is on every letter.

  • Print at home $4.99
  • We mail it $9.99
  • Mail it + print it now $11.99
  • Certificate add-on +$10
  • Express shipping +$8

Need it today?

Print at home for $4.99 and it is ready in minutes. Have it mailed for $9.99, or choose both for $11.99 and hand over the printout at the party while the official copy arrives by mail later.

Questions

Is it good for a 30th, 40th or 50th birthday?

Yes. Milestone birthdays are perfect. Mention the number in your funny detail and the letter works it in.

Can a group sign it?

Yes. Put "The Group Chat" or a few names in the From box.

Is it okay for kids?

These letters are written for adults and teens, about silly everyday habits.
