New beginnings — online cards signed together.
An online new-beginnings card lets the people in someone's life mark a fresh chapter — new home, new job, new baby, new city, new business, retirement — with one shared message wall.
Some of the biggest moments don't come with a traditional card. Moving into a first apartment, starting a new job, welcoming a baby, retiring after a long career, becoming a citizen, or sending a coworker off to their next role — every fresh chapter deserves to be marked, and one link is easier than a group chat that scrolls away.
Three steps, one card.
- 1
Request the card
Tell us the occasion, date, and roughly how many people will sign. We reply with your shared card link — usually within a day.
- 2
Share one link
Send the link on group chat, email, or social. Anyone with the link can sign — no signup, no email required.
- 3
Send on the day
Wishes appear on the card as they're written. On the day, hand over the finished card to the person being celebrated.
When people use a new beginnings card.
First apartment or first home
Friends and family send a housewarming wish plus a favorite memory of the place they're leaving behind. A card the new homeowner keeps with the keys.
New job or promotion
Coworkers from the old company, mentors, and friends congratulate someone starting fresh. A nicer counterweight to the flood of LinkedIn congrats.
Baby shower and newborn welcome
Guests at the shower plus long-distance family and college friends all sign one card the parents keep for baby's memory box.
Moving across the country
Coworkers, neighbors, and hometown friends send off a friend making a big move — the card travels with them.
Starting a business or going back to school
Mentors, former teammates, and the people who believed in the idea leave a wish of encouragement on day one, at any age.
Becoming a citizen or getting a green card
Friends and family mark a milestone years in the making with one shared card that celebrates the whole journey.
A coworker's send-off to their next role
The whole team signs one card before their last day — including remote colleagues who never had a chance to say goodbye in person.
Retirement — the next chapter
Colleagues from every era of the career, plus family and friends, gather one card that honors the years and cheers the years ahead.
One link vs. the old ways.

New beginnings card FAQ.
What counts as a new beginning?
Any fresh start worth marking — new home, new job, new baby, moving cities, starting a business, going back to school, becoming a citizen, retirement, or a coworker send-off. If it's a chapter change the person will look back on, it fits.
How does an online housewarming or new-job card work?
You request the card, share one link with friends and family, and each person writes their own wish. All the messages land on one shared card you send to the person on the day.
Is it free to sign?
Yes. Signing is completely free — no signup, no email, no payment.
Can I collect signatures before the day?
Yes. Cards can stay open for weeks before and after the milestone, so you can gather wishes ahead of time and reveal on the day.
Is a retirement card the same as a new-beginnings card?
Yes — a retirement card here is framed as the next chapter, not the end of one. Colleagues from every era of the career, plus family and friends, sign a shared card that cheers what's ahead.
