  • “Oh Happy Day” Card + Envelope

    $6.09 incl GST

    Sometimes you want to treat a special friend, or celebrate something that’s not necessarily a birthday. Or perhaps the birthday was a couple of weeks ago but you’re pretty hopeless at getting round to buying presents, so getting a “happy birthday” card seems a bit off.  This is the card for you.

    The black “Oh happy day” typography is embellished with a beautiful branch of leaves. But it says so much more than that. It says “congratulations”, it says “you’re awesome”. It says “you’re an awesome human and you make the world better for being in it” (but that wouldn’t fit very well…).

    If you’re purchasing the little white book as a gift for a newly engaged bride-to-be, then this card would be the perfect complement. We can even write in the card for you – simply note down what you’d like written, in the Order Details field on checkout. You can then arrange to have the diary sent straight to the lucky new fiance, with this card enclosed to celebrate her special news.

    Or, if you’re searching for a thoughtful birthday present for someone newly married, then the i still do diary would be a lovely present idea.  We can courier the diary and this pretty card directly to the gift recipient. Simply note down what you’d like written in the card in the Order Details field on checkout.

    Professionally designed by Be My Guest Design, it has been printed onto silk standard white card and is blank inside for you to complete the sentiment with your well considered thoughts.  This 148mm wide x 210mm high card (when unfolded) card comes paired with the rustic kraft brown envelope.

    $6.09 incl GST

    This “thank you” card is an all-purpose card for keeping your manners sweet and making your Mumma proud. The black “Thank you” typography is embellished with a beautiful branch of leaves.  The reason I love this suite of cards so much is the balance of fun and formality that has been achieved by the handwritten script font.
