Personalized birthday card for grandma, done right
eCards were one of the first viral hits of the 1990s internet. Unfortunately, they also became synonymous with cheap, ad-laden sites flashing outdated stock images. If you were wondering “How can I show someone I care…but not really?” – eCards were the unfortunate, but true, digital answer to your question.
But not anymore.
Forget about the corny jokes and annoying popups. With Kudoboard, you can create personalized, online cards with pictures, videos, and notes celebrating your grandma’s birthday. You can even invite the rest of the family to contribute and turn it into a group card.
Send Grandma a unique Kudoboard – she’ll love it!

A grandma’s birthday is the perfect day to send messages of love. Most grandmas love birthday cards because they are filled with reminders that they are beloved. So, what should you write on your grandma’s virtual birthday card? First, make sure it is personal, a message unique to your relationship. For some, that could mean making a joke, and for others, a meaningful message. If you choose to make a joke or funny comment, here are some of our favorites:
- “Dear Grandma, I wish I could give back all the love you’ve given me over the years. Since that is impossible, here’s a cake. It will fill up your belly in the same way that your presence fills up our lives.”
- “One minute you are young and fun. The next, you’re predicting the weather with your bad knee.”
- “Lucky for you vintage is in. Happy birthday!”
If you want to write something heartwarming, here are some options:
- “Grandma, from your oatmeal-chocolate chip cookies (that you counted as a healthy snack) to your singing me to sleep, you made my childhood better in a million little ways. You deserve a wonderful birthday and more. Happy Birthday.”
- “Happy birthday, Grandma! You are a graceful, kind, loving, patient, supportive, and dependable friend. Thank you for being the glue that holds us all together.”
- Add a memory you have of her or something she taught you that impacted your life.
If you want to send Grandma on an emotional roller-coaster, consider writing a funny message followed by something heartfelt.
