A birthday website
that opens at midnight
Set it to unlock the second their birthday starts. Inside: your photos, a scratch-off surprise, a prize wheel, messages from their friends and a letter from you.
Most birthday messages arrive as one line in a group chat. A birthday website is the opposite: a page that exists only for them, with their name at the top and everything you love about them underneath.
It works whether you're next to them or in a different country, and it's ready in about fifteen minutes. You can schedule it to open at midnight, so it's the first thing they see on their birthday.
What to put on it
Scratch to reveal
Hide the real present under it: the concert tickets, the trip, or just a photo. They scratch it off with a finger.
Notes from friends
Send their friends and family a link. They write a short message, you approve it, and it appears on the page. People cry at this one.
Birthday wheel
One spin, one prize: a lie-in, their favourite dinner, a day off from chores. Keep the prizes things you'll actually do.
Reasons I love you
One for each year of their age is a lovely touch if you can manage it. Specific beats sweet.
Songs
Add the songs that remind you of them, with links that open in Spotify, Apple Music or YouTube.
Love letter
End with a letter about who they've become this year and what you hope the next one brings.
AN EXAMPLE REASON
“You still sing happy birthday to the dog. Every year. In full. With harmonies.”

Frequently asked questions
What do you put on a birthday website for a girlfriend or boyfriend?
Photos from the past year, a list of reasons you love them, a surprise hidden under a scratch card, a prize wheel, the songs that remind you of them, messages from their friends and a letter from you. You don't need all of it; four or five parts done well is better.
Can I make it open at midnight on their birthday?
Yes. When you send the page, choose the date and time it should open. Anyone who opens the link earlier sees a countdown to that moment.
Can their friends add birthday messages?
Yes. The notes-from-friends section gives you a link to share. Friends write a short note, and you approve each one before it appears on the page.
Is it too late if their birthday is today?
No. The template is already filled in, so most people finish in about fifteen minutes, and the link works the moment you send it.
