A personalised greeting card is the one card nobody throws away. A shop-bought card is read once; a card with a family photo or the right age on the front ends up on a shelf or in a memory box. At Gribzy you can design your own photo card for 3.00 €, or choose a ready card where you pick the age or the milestone. Every card is an A4 sheet folded to A5, printed on thick 250 g matte photo paper, with a C5 envelope.

Design your own photo card

Upload a photo, add your text, check the preview and order. Keep the front short: a name, a greeting or a date. The inside is blank for your handwritten message. Our step-by-step guide explains how to design your own photo greeting card.

Photo Christmas cards

Christmas is the classic time for photo cards, and a card with your own photo says more than any printed robin.

• The family photo of the year with “Merry Christmas” or “Häid jõule ja head uut aastat”.
• A year in four photos: one from each season, for relatives who did not see you this year.
• The children’s drawing photographed and printed on the front, for grandparents.
• Business Christmas cards with a team photo or your shop window, for clients and partners.
• The pet in a Santa hat. It always gets a smile.

Cards for every occasion through the year

With your own photo, one card designer covers the whole calendar:

• Birthdays: a photo from the past year together, or a baby photo of the birthday person.
• Name days: a small, friendly surprise; see our guide to name days.
• Valentine’s Day (14 February): a photo of the two of you, or a friends’ photo for Sõbrapäev.
• Women’s Day (8 March), Mother’s Day and Father’s Day: the children’s photo or drawing.
• Weddings: invitations, save-the-dates and thank-you cards with the couple’s photo.
• New baby: a birth announcement with the first photo, name and date.
• Graduation and school leaving: a photo from the first school day next to one from the last.
• Teachers’ Day (5 October) and the end of the school year: a class photo thank-you card.
• Get well soon and sympathy: a calm landscape or a meaningful photo. Our guide to what to write in a card helps with the words.

Ready cards with the right age or year

Some of our cards are personalised by choice: you pick the age or milestone when you order.

Children’s birthdays, ages 1 to 9 or 10. Choose the age on the product page. The teddy bear card has no greeting text on the front, so it works in any language.

Milestone birthdays. The gold balloon card comes in 18, 19, 20, 21, 25, 30, 40, 50, 60 and 80. The retro card “Aastast 1986” is made for everyone turning 40 this year.

For English-speaking friends and family:

Tips for photo cards

1. Portrait photos suit the upright card best.
2. Leave some calm space in the photo if you want text on the front.
3. Check contrast: white text disappears on a light sky.
4. Read names out loud before ordering. Typos in names are the most common mistake.
5. Use the original file, not a picture saved from WhatsApp or Facebook.
