Website to personalise card with lots of messages?

Hi all,

I'm organising a birthday card for a colleague and was planning to use somewhere like Moonpig or Funky Pigeon to add everyone's messages. However, looking at the cards now it seems you're not really allowed to add much text at all.

Does anyone know of a site (or even a type of card on the above sites) where you can add a lot of text to a card? I'd rather a real card that gets sent than an electronic one - I've seen a few of those.

Thank you!

Also when I say a lot of text it would probably fit on a standard card or definitely an A4 one so I'm surprised the above sites don't seem to allow that.

I think Scribbler let you write on both sides of the card...

But it’ll come out typed, in paragraphs, so it might not really work the same as those work cards where people have written everywhere in different colour pens... if you’re after that look, you might be better to recruit a few friends/family memebrrs into writing a few messages each in different pens. Can you tell I've had to do this

OP, Moonpig will deliver the card to you in a separate envelope well in advance, so you can take it round the office and let the colleagues each hand write their messages.

Moonpig also alow you to send a link to all the signatories, and they pre print the card with the messages, so it stops the passing round of the card

You could take photos of the comments and use them on moonpig cards? Photos tend to be on the outside of the card though..

Moonpig have a Group Card options, where you send everyone a link and they can add their messages, you then just get them to send it.

It may just be available on the app.

I have literally just done this for a colleague. I used Moonpig and it was perfect I chose an A4 card and added messages from 11 colleagues. Worked really well.

Ahhh you're all brilliant - thank you! I've already got everyone's messages and am doing it remotely so the Moonpig group option sounds great. Exploring it now - thank you for all suggestions 😊
