A good birthday card gets read once. A great one ends up on the fridge, gets quoted at dinner, and outlives the gift it came with. These are the birthday cards our customers buy most at The Ruddy Duck, sorted by the kind of person you're shopping for. Each runs $5.50.
For Friends Who Can Take a Joke
Prepare To Die is our reigning champion for friends with a dark streak, narrowly edging out At My Funeral, which commits even harder to the bit. If their humor leans more petty than dark, From Your 110 Lb Friend lands the punch with love.
For the Getting-Older Crowd
Aging is mandatory and so is mocking it gently. Old Age Is Coming For All of Us says the quiet part out loud, the Colonoscopy card celebrates a milestone nobody requested, and Old Black Cat is for the friend aging with maximum attitude.
For Wine People
Wine Rhymes With Birthday. It doesn't, and that is the joke, and it works every time.
Sweet, With a Wink
Not every birthday calls for roasting. A Little Birdy Told Me is charming without being sappy, and Make Believe splits the difference between sweet and silly.
For the Birthday Skeptic
Birthdays Were Invented By Hallmark is the card for the person who claims not to care about birthdays. Hand it over with a straight face.
Make It a Complete Gift
Pair any card with the infamous Here's Your Fucking Gift bag ($5.50) and even a gift card becomes a whole moment. Browse all our birthday cards, the full greeting card wall, or birthday gifts to finish the job. We ship fast from Whitefish, Montana, and yes, we will happily mail a card straight to the birthday person.
