- End with a forward-looking line: a plan, a wish, or a promise.
- Keep the middle short. Long cards get skimmed; three sincere lines get reread.
- Use their name in the first line - it instantly makes any message personal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will a pop up card fit in a standard envelope?
Most come with a matching custom envelope sized to the folded card, so mailing is as easy as a regular card. Oversized designs may need extra postage - see our guide on how to mail a pop up card for specifics.
Are pop up cards suitable for kids?
Absolutely - animal, dinosaur and unicorn designs are perennial favorites, and the pop-up action itself delights children. Just keep them away from toddlers who might tear the delicate layers.
