We long for moments of unexpected connection for families everywhere.
Our Story
What started as one family's struggle to stay connected became a mission to help thousands of families never miss another birthday.
Kelson has a very large family scattered across the country. Like many families, they'd grown distant over time, with birthdays becoming missed opportunities for connection.
He wanted to send birthday cards to everyone, but coordinating it all - remembering dates, buying cards, finding stamps - felt overwhelming. And fake handwriting services? That felt worse than sending nothing at all.
The solution? Automate everything except the personal message. That's how Effortless Cards was born.
We track birthdays, send reminders, and deliver pre-addressed, stamped cards ~3 weeks early. All you do is write your message and drop it in the mailbox. Your handwriting. Your words. Zero hassle.
