Group birthday gift

A birthday gift from everyone who loves them.

Their oldest friend remembers the school bus. Their brother still laughs about that holiday. Bring those voices together for their birthday: each person records a message, and all the voices come together in one gift.

Another year, hung in light

I

Stories from different chapters

Childhood friends, siblings, and people they met last year all know a different side of them. A shared memory from each makes the birthday feel unmistakably theirs.

II

Room for the ordinary years, too

A 30th or 50th birthday gives everyone a reason to look back. The same gift fits a quieter birthday when you simply want someone to hear how much they matter.

III

Include the people who cannot be there

A cousin overseas can record from home. A friend working that evening can join before the party. Contributors record in their browser without an app or account.

How it works

1

Start a card

Add their name and the occasion, and record your own message if you want.

2

Bring everyone in

Share one link. Everyone can review their full recording and re-record before sending. You can approve messages without listening. Organizer previews play the first 4 seconds of every saved voice; the finished gift plays every message in full.

3

Deliver it

You can send them a link, or sit down with them and show them in person. They open one gift, and the recipient gets an interactive reveal.

Bring their birthday circle together

Who to invite

Start with close family and friends, then think of someone from an earlier chapter: an old flatmate, a childhood friend, or a cousin they rarely see. Choose up to 25 voices, including your own.

What to say

Try: 'Tell them about a time they made you laugh, then share one wish for their next year.' Send that prompt with the link so a hesitant friend has somewhere to start. A short, specific memory is enough.

When to gather and give

If possible, invite people a week or two before the birthday and set a recording deadline a couple of days before it. Send one gentle reminder. Keep the recording link out of chats that include the birthday person.

Questions

What can we say beyond happy birthday?

Start with a moment only the two of you would remember, then say what you appreciate about them now. A familiar greeting, an inside joke, or a wish for the year ahead can be enough. Nobody needs to write a speech.

How do I collect voice messages for a birthday?

Create a Starcard and share the recording link with your group. Contributors can listen to their full take and re-record before sending. You can approve messages without listening. Organizer previews play the first 4 seconds of every saved voice; the finished gift plays every message in full.

How much does a birthday Starcard cost?

It costs less than a Starbucks coffee. One gift holds up to 25 contributors, and each message can run up to 3 minutes.

Let this birthday sound like all the people who love them.
