If you can make funny birthday cards to make friends laugh, you're already killing it! Giving out a birthday card has been a tradition for over one hundred years. 

Because we have to compete with technology for attention these days, just giving a plain ol’ Happy Birthday card won't do it.

People are looking for ways to stand out and be different, so the demand for witty, funny, and unconventional greeting cards has skyrocketed over the years.  

For most, a funny card and a unique video greeting card can create a lasting impression on the person they’re giving them to. But why, you ask?

How is a video greeting card different from other greeting cards

A video greeting card is similar but also different from your usual greeting card.

Using greeting card generators online, you can attach videos to your greeting card through a QR code for FREE!

To give you a clear comparison, here's a breakdown of the advantages of adding videos to your greeting card:

1. Adding videos to greeting cards allows you to customize your cards. Most recipients appreciate customized cards more than commercial cards because they are associated with thoughtfulness and effort.
2. Videos are flexible. Got a terrific birthday celebration idea for your invitation but don't know how to turn it into words? Turn that into a video instead! With videos, you're not limited by word count or paper size, so you can express it all in video format.
3. Unique cards with videos are entertaining and can easily catch the attention of your recipients. You can add depth to your greeting card and offer more than simple greetings when you play around with different video ideas.
4. Funny free birthday cards with videos are easy to make with the help of online greeting card generators. You only need to choose a template, customize your message, insert your video/s, and generate your card. It's that easy!
5. Lastly, a DIY greeting card is a cheaper option. There are online generators that generate your cards for free. Also, printing your greeting cards, especially in bulk, is more affordable than buying them from stores.

Are birthday cards really necessary?

The tradition of sending greeting cards is still alive, thanks to millennials.

Though sending a funny happy birthday meme is easier, millennials are still sending greetings the traditional way.

This makes giving a happy birthday funny greeting card more special and memorable when customizing it.

The 21st-century greeting card is something that incorporates technology and tradition by creating printable video greetings.

Yes, you read that right. You can now print your video greetings. Using a dynamic QR code, you can embed your videos into your printable greeting cards.

So, your recipients can view the video messages and greetings on your cards after scanning the QR code with their phones.
