Employee birthday card sites

Employee birthday cards.
For a small team.

For twelve employee birthday cards a year, tbf work packs can cost less than its Team plan. Compare Thankbox for a gift collection, GroupGreeting for a PDF, and Kudoboard Premium for video.

Count anniversaries and leavers too. A twelve-person business sending only birthday cards has a different bill from one marking every colleague's start date as well.

A 12-person business: count occasions first

These are examples at tbf work's published card rates, before VAT. They are usage budgets, not quotes for a particular pack purchase.

Plan for the year	Cards	Usage at £2.99 each
One birthday per employee	12	£35.88
Birthdays and work anniversaries	24	£71.76
Both, plus two leaving cards	26	£77.74

Arithmetic: 12, 24 or 26 cards multiplied by £2.99. Pay as you go packs contain 5, 20 or 50; your purchase total depends on the packs chosen.

Keep the birthday list small

Ask who wants a birthday card.

Record the day and month for people who agree, then give one administrator responsibility for checking dates when somebody joins or leaves the business.

Do not guess a missing birthday.

For twelve colleagues, a card pack may cost less than a yearly plan even when the plan advertises a lower price per card. Compare the total you will actually pay.

Pay for the occasions you use.
