Welcome the little one with a new baby video card
New parents get plenty of texts, but few they will want to keep. A Joycards new baby card collects video congratulations from friends, family and coworkers into one card the family can watch now and share with their child one day.
Create a new baby card in 3 easy steps
-
Step 1: Record your video
Share your own congratulations to the new parents. Record with the built in tool or upload a video from your device.
-
Step 2: Invite loved ones
Send the invite to grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends and coworkers so everyone can welcome the baby.
-
Step 3: Share the joy!
When the videos are in, send the card to the new parents to enjoy in a quiet moment, even at 3am.
A story-like experience
Joycards play like Stories on Instagram and Facebook, so tired new parents can follow along easily. No video editing. It’s all about the message!
New Baby Card Creators
Forget choosing backgrounds, editing videos or picking music. Create the card, invite the people who love this family and let them add their wishes.
New Baby Card Recipients
The new parents press play and watch each message one after the other. Every video is kept separately, so they can rewatch the sweetest ones again and again.
Features you’ll love
Not everyone can visit a newborn right away, especially family who live far away. A new baby video card lets everyone say hello and congratulations from wherever they are, and gives the family a keepsake from the very first weeks.
Ideas for a sweet new baby video card
A few simple ideas to make a new baby card the family will treasure.
-
Speak to the baby too
Ask contributors to add a line for the child, like a wish or a piece of advice. It turns the card into something the child can watch when they are older.
-
Include faraway family
Grandparents, cousins and friends who live in other states or countries may not meet the baby for a while. A video lets them say hello now.
-
Keep messages short
New parents have very little free time. Short, warm messages are easy to enjoy in a spare moment.
-
Give the parents a little time
Sending the card a week or two after the birth, once the first rush of visitors has passed, can be a welcome lift.
Happy tears!
I received videos from friends and family from all over the world. It’s probably the most heart warming gift I’ve ever received. I was in tears after watching the videos.

Sign up for free and record your video. Invite family, friends or coworkers to add theirs. When everyone has contributed, send the new baby card to the parents.

Congratulate the parents, welcome the baby by name and share a wish for the little one’s future. Need ideas? See our congratulations messages.

Can I download my videos?
Yes. Your videos will be available in your account, and in the recipient's account, for the duration of your plan. You can also download the videos at any time, which makes it easy to keep them for the child to watch one day.
Is this a new baby eCard?
No. Joycards are different to eCards and traditional paper greeting cards.
