The Best Birthday Cards They’ll Want to Keep Forever

Picking up a birthday card is easy, right? You go to your local Card Factory, pick out a card that looks nice, give it to your loved one, then see it in the bin a week later. The constant cycle of buying and throwing away cards can hurt, and if you want the best birthday cards to keep forever, it needs to be worth that title.

The best birthday cards are those with unique features like 3D designs, music, or personalised messages, making them cherished keepsakes for years to come.

And, as it stands, our spectacular cards fit all those categories! At Lumibop, we have cards for every occasion. From birthday cards or her or him, the kids, Valentine’s Day cards, or something else, we’ve got something that will be perfect.

Why Some Birthday Cards are Worth Keeping Forever

Not every birthday card is a keeper, and you shouldn’t feel obligated to keep every single one that you receive – especially when you end up with 15 of the same ones over the course of a few years. If you want to keep a card forever, it needs to be worthy of being kept. This means that it must be unique, quality, and stand out in a way that other cards just don’t do.

The best birthday cards to keep forever can come in all shapes and sizes, and they might not even look like cards at first glance! From animal-themed cards to floral, and funny to sincere, there is always something that everyone will love, and it’s okay to get creative with your cards. In fact, we fully encourage you to have some fun any chance you get. 

When years have passed, and you want to look back on happy memories, we want unique birthday cards to be a source of those memories. So, get a card that’s worth keeping forever, and you could still be smiling about it 50 years down the line.

Creative Features That Make a Card Truly Special

There are so many creative features that a card could have, and you can pick and choose what you like and what you don’t. With so many unique designs, there are options for music or other recorded messages, personalised written messages, light-up parts, 3D elements, and much more. 

With Lumibop, we love all the creative features that we’ve added to all of our designs. From the pop-up features that you see in our bouquets to give you that ‘wow’ moment, to the perfectly synchronised music and lighting effects that you see in our 360 Dog Party or Llamazing Birthday creations to really make you feel like you’re at the same party.

Best birthday cards to keep forever can have any combination of these fan and whimsical creative features – or none at all! It all depends on what that special person likes and what they would appreciate (or find amusing or endearing). 

3D, Musical, and Light-Up Cards: Unique Options to Explore

Personalised Birthday Cards: Adding a Touch of You

A personalised birthday card means that whoever bought it for you really thought about you. This can be adding a personal message to the inside (which is the bare minimum, we say), or going all-out and getting a personalised card made for you. 

Personalised cards can be so much fun, and there are so many fantastic options available online. You can design and order your own cards, or you can get some custom-made by someone you trust.

Whatever you choose to do, don’t forget to personalise the card you select and let that special someone know that you love them and thought of them – even if it’s just a sentence! Or, you could write a poem – it’s up to you!

Keepsake Cards for Milestone Birthdays

Milestone birthdays should be celebrated with a little bit of something extra. While every new birthday is a cause for celebration, there’s something special about reaching all time milestones across your life, and we believe that you should aim for cards that are suitable for the occasion. 

But – this can look different for everyone and for every milestone! Think carefully and see what is appropriate or what would be appreciated to make the vent truly memorable. It all also depends on who you’re giving your card to! Someone might appreciate humour, while another person might appreciate something a bit more heart-warming and sentimental.

If you’re looking for ideas, why not just look at some of our favourite cards for any occasion? For those cute and heart-warming birthday occasions for loved ones, you could consider options like Blooming Love, Red Roses, Flower Truck, or Love Birds – no, they aren’t real bouquets, trucks, or birds but cards!

Oh, and if you aren’t sure which birthdays are considered milestones, we’ve got you. Some milestone birthdays you are going to want to make special include:

• 1st birthday

• 5th birthday

• 13th birthday

• 16th birthday

• 18th birthday

• 21st birthday

• 30th birthday

• 40th birthday

• 50th birthday

• 60th birthday

• 70th birthday

• 100th birthday
  

Depending on where you are in the world, there could also be other milestone birthdays to consider! Make sure to pick out cards and designs that are appropriate for the age, but remember that there are plenty of options to choose from, whether you want to get one of our beautiful designs or not.

What You Put on the Inside is Just as Important as the Outside

Depending on the type of card you end up choosing, you might need to think about what you’re going to put on the inside of the card as well as worry about what the outside looks like! Luckily, there are lots of options to consider if you are in need of some different message blueprints. 

Some of our favourite birthday messages include:

• May your birthday be filled with cake, cake, and more cake! Oh, and wine.

• Cheers to more fun, more memories and more cake!

• Who should I fight if all your birthday wishes don’t come true today?

• Happy birthday! Remember, you’re not 30, you’re 18 with 12 years of experience.

• Wishing you a day filled with love, kindness, and lots of your favourite cake. Happy birthday to the extraordinary person you are. Never change.

• Getting older is mandatory, but growing up is optional. Here’s to never fully embracing adulthood! Happy birthday, forever young, friend!

• One minute, you’re young and fun. Next, you have a favourite washing machine setting. Happy Birthday!

• Older? Yes. Wiser? Absolutely not. Happy Birthday, bestie!

• Happy birthday to the most fabulous person I know. Oh wait, it’s not my birthday!

• After being so strong this year, you deserve a day to finally relax and have some fun – happy birthday, bestie.

• The world is brighter with you, the birds sing more beautifully when they see you. I hope you have the best birthday celebration you could ask for.

• Cheers to all the nights that turned into mornings, laughter that turned to love, and the friends that turned into family. Happy birthday!

Lumibup and Sustainability – We Do Everything We Can

Our beautiful handmade cards are created at SMETA-approved factories in China, using only the highest quality materials and ethics. We use 100% recycled paper – a first in the industry – and all printing is done with soy-based ink to keep things sustainable and environmentally friendly.

We don’t stop there, though. All electronic cards (which can include pop, light, and sound) are certified according to RoHS standards and are 100% lead-free with non-replaceable alkaline-based batteries. While we hope that you will want to keep your Lumibop card for years to come and treasure its beauty, we are also fully committed to recycling our products to help move towards a greener planet. 

If you decide that you don’t want your special Lumibop card to last a lifetime, you get them recycled by filling out this form to decide a date for WEEE collection. You simply need to put the card in any old envelope and hand it to the lovely person who comes to collect it – we’ll take care of the rest. Or, if you prefer, you can drop the card off in your nearest post box with our “self posting” option.
