Your birth announcement is ready, but the printed cards won't be back from the printer for another few weeks. Or maybe you just want to share the news faster. Can you send a birth announcement digitally?
Yes, and it's easier than you think.
Digital vs. printed: do you have to choose?
No. For most parents, digital and printed are complementary, not competing.
The printed card is the moment. The beautiful piece of paper people keep, put on the fridge, or tuck into an album. The digital card is the news: something you can share on the day of the birth, while the printed cards are still being made.
With geboortekaartje-online.be, you upload your existing card design once and share it via a private link right away. No extra design work needed.
Step by step: sharing your card digitally
1. Upload your card design
Do you already have a design from your printer or a graphic designer? Upload the image to geboortekaartje-online.be. You don't need to change anything, the design stays completely your own.
2. Create a private link
You'll get a personal link that you can share with family and friends. Only people with the link can view your card.
3. Share via WhatsApp, text, or email
Copy the link and send it via whichever channel you prefer. WhatsApp groups work perfectly: everyone sees the news at the same time, and you can include the address collection link right alongside it.
4. Collect addresses while you share
On the same page, recipients can immediately leave their postal address for the physical card. So you share the digital news and collect addresses in one go.
Why it works so well
You share the news on the day itself, without waiting for the printer. Family abroad, friends you haven't seen in years — anyone who receives a link can view your card. And your card isn't publicly visible online; only people with the link see it.
Recipients can immediately leave their address, so you have a clean list ready for the physical mailing.
That list is also reusable. Thank you card after the birth, christening invite, first birthday: same crowd, same platform, ready in minutes each time.
What about people without a smartphone?
Not everyone in your circle is equally digital. For them: just send the physical card the traditional way. Digital and physical don't exclude each other.
Upload your design, share the link, and let the news speak for itself.
