💌 Make Birthday Cards for The Confetti Foundation!
Every birthday box from The Confetti Foundation includes handmade birthday cards created by volunteers like you! From schools and sports teams to scout troops and senior centers, everyone can help make birthdays a little brighter!
Your cards remind a child that they’re celebrated and loved, even from miles away.

✏️ STEP 1: SAY “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!”
This is the most important part! Every card should clearly say “Happy Birthday!” on the front and inside.
🎨 STEP 2: GET CREATIVE
Use crayons, markers, or stickers to make your card fun and colorful.
No glitter (it cannot be used in hospitals)
Keep designs cheerful, simple, and age-appropriate
🖋️ STEP 3: SIGN YOUR CARD
Include your first name and city/state. Children love knowing people everywhere are thinking of them.
Cards without signatures cannot be accepted.
📏 STEP 4: CHECK YOUR CARD SIZE
Cards should be folded, not flat
Use paper or construction paper no larger than 5x7 inches
DO NOT include envelopes
🌈 STEP 5: KEEP IT POSITIVE
Make it fun and uplifting!
Jokes, riddles, or doodles are encouraged
Please do not write “Get Well” or include religious messages
Every message should celebrate joy and kindness
