Printable Birthday Cards To Make Celebrating Easy!

These free printable cards are so fun and colorful, your friends will love opening them on their birthday. I have to confess, there have been times where I’ve forgotten to get a birthday card to go along with a gift for a friend and I just don’t have time to go back to the store. Anyone else been there? These will be huge lifesavers when that happens again!

Your friends won’t even notice these were freebies and love how cute they are! Personally, I think they look as nice as some of the store cards that can cost $3 or more, and because they’re blank inside so you can leave a personal message! They’re a lot more versatile than the oddly specific ones you have to dig through on the rack.

If you are someone that likes to be ahead of the game, print these cute templates out beforehand, and when the next birthday rolls around you’re already prepared to send your friend a birthday card.

My grandma was so good about getting cards ahead of time for everyone’s birthday in the family. She had a small file organizer just for birthday cards with the all of the months in it. She’d pick out cards ahead of time and place them in the file when their birthday month was. I’ve always loved this idea!

What should I write inside a birthday card?

You’ve got your happy birthday card printable all ready to go, found the perfect matching envelope… Now what do you write inside the birthday card? Of course, you can write anything you like. But sometimes it can be hard to think of just the right things to say.

Do you look at a card and blank out? No worries! You can share one of these friendship quotes, or if it is your bestie, a quote for best friends. Here are some other suggestions for things you might say:
