Coming up with birthday surprise ideas for best friends can sometimes feel like a far more arduous task than it needs to be. Especially when you’ve been celebrating your birthdays for 5, 10 or even 20 years! As the BFFs of the world, we have a responsibility of turning our best friend’s birthday into an uber-super-quadrupel special occasion. Luckily, we’ve come up with a whole bunch of ideas you can absolutely credit as your own brilliance — we won’t tell!

A new living, breathing, pooping machine has graced you with its delightful little presence and has made you a brand new parent. Congratulations! That’s no small feat. And while you’re completely head-over-heels in love with this new little creature in your life, you’re out-of-this-world tired from the non-stop go go go. You love the idea of introducing the little babe to your friends and family with birth announcements, but let’s get real — what new parent has got time for that?!

Easy birth announcements you can mail in minutes.

Luckily, we’ve got just the solution. Mail beautiful hold-in-your-hands birth announcements in minutes without leaving your couch.

Yes, really.

All you have to do is customize your favorite design, upload a spreadsheet of addresses and click send.

Postable will print, address and mail your birth announcements for you. Your new family member will be getting loved on by all of your friends and family in no time!

Don’t have addresses? Not to worry.

Use the free address collecting tool (also easy as pie) to collect addresses first.

You’re thinking of them. They’re thinking of you. Why not bridge the gap with some adorable thinking of you cards? Be the first one to reach out and let them know they’re on your mind.

I love you cards aren’t just for Valentine’s Day. After all, telling someone you love them isn’t unique to one day of the year. If you love em’ — gotta let them know.

You know?!

There are about a million ways to let someone know you love them. One of which is sending a card that says just that. Perhaps you’d like to elaborate on the inside… Perhaps simply signing your name is good enough. Whatever words you choose to string along with the magic ‘I love you’ is up to you. You could go into detail about why you love them so darn much. You could simply repeat the magic words over and over again. Or a simple one line of ‘I love you’ can do the trick.

Just don’t forget to sign your name.

I love you cards you can mail in minutes.
