How to Make a Corporate Birthday Card Online (That Looks Like It Came From the Company)
Most birthday e-cards were designed for friends: cake, confetti, a first name in a bubbly font. Sent from a company to an employee, a senior leader or a client, they read as either careless or oddly familiar. A corporate birthday card has a different job: to carry the organisation's logo and colour, name the person properly, say one considered thing, and be signed by someone with a designation. This guide covers how to make one online in about two minutes, what to write, and how it compares with the birthday email, the Slack post, the pantry cake and the printed card.
The short answer
To make a corporate birthday card online, open the Corporate Birthday template on MomentoCard, upload the company logo and enter the brand colour, type the employee's name, a message of up to 300 characters and the sender's name and designation, and share the link. The card plays six restrained acts in about 22 seconds: the logo on a field of your colour, the letterhead, their name in engraved serif, their role and years with you, three short wishes, and the signed letter. It is free, needs no account, opens on any phone, and HR can send it automatically on every birthday through MomentoCard for Business.
Restrained, premium, brand-neutral
Off-white paper, one brand colour, engraved serif. No cake, confetti or hearts. Safe for a bank, a hospital, a law firm or a studio.
The logo is handled, not just placed
A light logo gets a plate in your brand colour, a dark one sits on paper, a logo with its own background stays on paper. Pale colours are deepened so the words read.
Their role and years with you
Designation, department and years with the company are merged from employee records on business sends. Unknown lines are left out, never left blank.
Signed by a person
Sender, designation, company. The campaign's sender name goes into the signature automatically; leave it blank and the company signs.
Short and skippable
Six acts, about 22 seconds. A tap skips to the letter. Reads at phone size and in the campaign preview.
Free, and automatable
Make it without an account and share a link. One Birthday campaign on MomentoCard for Business sends it every year at 9 am in each person's timezone.

Steps to make the corporate birthday card
- 1
Open the template
Go to the Corporate Birthday card on MomentoCard. It opens in the browser; no account needed.
- 2
Add the logo and the brand colour
Upload a transparent PNG or SVG. Enter the brand colour as a hex value. The card chooses the plate and deepens pale colours itself.
- 3
Type the name and the message
The employee's name as the team uses it, or a full name and title for a leader or a client, and a message of up to 300 characters.
- 4
Sign it
The sender's name and designation. Optionally their role, years with you and three wishes; the defaults are good health, good work, good company.
- 5
Send it on the day
Share the link by email, WhatsApp or the team channel at 9 am their time. Or set up a Birthday campaign once and never send by hand again.
Frequently asked questions
What is the best corporate birthday card to send an employee?
One that carries the company's logo and colour, names the person properly, says one considered thing and is signed by a named person with a designation, without cake, confetti or hearts. The Corporate Birthday card on MomentoCard does that in six restrained animated acts, free, shared as a link.
What should the message say?
One warm line, one specific thing about them or their work, and a wish for the year. Sign it from a person, not from 'HR'. The message slot takes 300 characters; copyable lines for HR, managers, leaders and clients are on the corporate birthday card page and in the guide.
Can I add our logo and brand colour?
Yes. A logo slot and a brand-colour slot. The card samples the logo to decide whether it sits on your colour or on paper, and deepens pale brand colours so the type reads. Business workspaces fill both in automatically on every send.
Is it appropriate for a boss or a client?
Yes. It is restrained by design. Use the full name or title, write a considered sentence, and sign with your own name and designation.
Can HR automate it for every employee?
Yes. Import employees with birthdays, create one Birthday campaign with this template, and MomentoCard for Business sends it every year at the chosen hour in each person's timezone with the logo, name, role, department and years filled in. Free for up to 10 people.
How much does it cost?
Nothing. Making and opening the card are free and need no account. Automation for a whole company is on MomentoCard for Business, free for up to 10 people.
