Greeting Cards

Create Custom Greeting Cards for Every Moment         

Store-bought cards can be convenient, but they often fall short when it comes to capturing your personal message. That’s why custom greeting cards are such a thoughtful choice. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, congratulating a graduate, or simply reaching out to let someone know you're thinking of them, creating your own card allows you to express yourself in a more meaningful way. With Shutterfly, it's easy to make greeting cards that reflect your style, your photos, and your words—so every card feels truly personal.

Explore the Many Types of Greeting Cards You Can Create

Not all moments are created equal—and neither are cards. That’s why we offer a wide variety of personalized greeting cards for just about every occasion you can think of. Here’s a little inspiration to get you started:

• Happy Birthday Cards: Whether it's cute, funny, or full-on emotional, celebrate someone’s big day with a design that fits their vibe. Add photos, write your own birthday wishes, and even include foil for a little extra shine.
• Mother’s Day & Father’s Day Cards: Tell your parents how much they mean to you. From sweet photo layouts to totally customizable messages, you can create a keepsake greeting card they’ll cherish for years to come.
• Pride Cards: Celebrate love, identity, and community with bright, bold designs and supportive messages. Our Happy Pride cards are all about sending love in every color.
• Sympathy & Memorial Cards: When words are hard to find, a thoughtful, gentle card can go a long way. Choose soft color palettes, elegant typography, and space to add a heartfelt note.
• Thank You Cards: Gratitude never goes out of style. Whether it’s for a wedding, baby shower, teacher gift, or just a kind gesture, custom thank you cards let you show appreciation your way.
• Anniversary Cards: From your first to your fiftieth, celebrate your love (or someone else’s!) with a design that brings back memories and shows how far you’ve come.
• Graduation Congratulations Cards: They did it! Congratulate the grad with photos, school colors, and a message that lets them know how proud you are.

Whatever the occasion, designing your own greeting card turns a small gesture into something genuinely unforgettable.

How to Create Your Own Greeting Card Design

You don’t need to be a designer to make a card that looks like it came from a pro. Our custom greeting card maker makes it super simple to get from idea to finished design in just a few steps. Here’s how:

1. Choose your card type: Start with the occasion—birthday, thank you, holiday, or just because.
   2. Pick your favorite template: You’ll find tons of professionally designed layouts you can customize to make your own.
   3. Personalize the details: Add your photos, update the message, play around with fonts and colors, and choose your trim style. Want extra flair? Try foil, glitter, or even scalloped edges.
   4. Get the envelopes ready: You can upload your address list right to Shutterfly and we’ll mail them out for you—or ship them to your door so you can hand-sign them with love.

Finish the Look with Matching Stationery

If you’re already going custom with your cards, why not go all in? Round out your design with personalized extras that make the whole experience feel polished and intentional:

• Match your cards with custom address labels to add a finishing touch to every envelope
• Include personalized notecards for longer messages or follow-ups
• Choose envelope liners that complement your card’s colors and design

From the outside in, every piece of your personalized greeting card can reflect your style and your story. With Shutterfly, you’re not just sending a card—you’re sending something that looks and feels like you.
