Birthday cards for coworkers, friendly and work-appropriate
Office birthdays can be awkward: you want to be warm, but not too personal. A foil birthday card hits that balance. Choose the balloons or cake design, add gold foil on cotton paper and write a short note that celebrates them without oversharing. The link drops neatly into Slack, Teams or email, and it looks polished on any screen.

Most people want to thank a colleague for being good to work with, mention a project or habit they appreciate, and wish them a relaxing day. Humor about deadlines or meetings is safe; jokes about age usually are not. If the whole team is signing, gather a line from each person and combine them in the letter.
What to write inside
Pick a message to start from. It goes straight into your card, and you can change every word.
Design idea
Skip personal photos and choose the balloons or cake design for a friendly, neutral look. Gold foil on cotton or white paper feels professional yet festive. If the team has a fun group photo from an offsite, use Details so the foil outlines everyone. Write a short letter and sign it from the team.

When to send it
Send it first thing in the workday, or post the link in the team channel so others can add their wishes. If they are remote, check their time zone.
Links work for 90 days and open in any browser, so it arrives the moment you send it, wherever they are.
Questions
What should I write in a coworker's birthday card?
Keep it friendly and professional. Thank them for something you appreciate at work, wish them a relaxing day and add a light joke about meetings or coffee if it fits. Avoid age jokes and personal topics.
Can the whole team sign one card?
There is one letter per card, so collect a short line from each teammate and paste them into the letter with their names. Then share the single link with the birthday person, or post it in the team channel.
