Birthday cards can often feel like a frivolous expense, especially when they’re quickly discarded after just a few moments of excitement. With prices ranging from three to four dollars, it’s understandable why many parents find this practice wasteful, particularly when it comes to children’s celebrations.
As we enter the season of birthday parties, I’ve discovered an effective solution for this common dilemma: I found some charming vintage birthday images and decided to order business cards. By using the front and back to feature these delightful designs and leaving space to write “to” and “from,” I’ve created a unique and cost-effective alternative. All that’s needed is a simple hole punch in the corner to attach to a gift—practical and economical!
If you’re interested in crafting your own cards, I’ve even included a template for you to use. Alternatively, feel free to download my version. I left them generic since I wasn’t sure which of my children they would be from, but next time I might include all of their names. There are countless copyright-free images available online, and you might even consider using a photo of your child for a personal touch. How delightful would that be?
This approach not only saves money but also adds a personal flair to your gift-giving.

Creating your own birthday cards can be a cost-effective and enjoyable way to celebrate. By utilizing vintage images and simple templates, you can personalize invitations and greetings without breaking the bank.
