A text message says "happy birthday." An Interactive Experience makes someone actually do something to get there — blow out candles, scratch off foil, smash a piñata, unwrap a gift box — before your message appears with sound and confetti. It's the difference between reading a wish and unwrapping one.
Pick whichever fits the moment, or let the recipient's personality decide. Formats below link to their own page with a live demo you can try right now:
A theatrical reveal creates a small moment of anticipation before the message appears — the same reason unwrapping a physical gift feels better than someone just handing you what's inside. It also signals effort: a plain "happy birthday 🎂" text takes five seconds to send, but a custom reveal page with your own photo and voice message clearly took more thought, and the recipient feels that difference immediately.
An Interactive Experience is one message from one person. If several people want to sign the same card, Group Wishes lets each person add their own line, photo, and voice message before you send the finished, merged reveal. Setting up something with a date and location instead of a birthday message? Party Invitations use this same tap-to-open reveal with RSVP built in. And Time Capsule is a toggle on this same creator that locks the link until a future date instead of opening right away.

Yes, it's a normal web link that opens in any mobile or desktop browser — no app to install for the recipient.
Yes — when creating an Experience, you can optionally pick from 14 AI-generated photo backdrops (Wishing Well, Floral, Kids Party, Backyard BBQ, Balloon Rooftop, Confetti Carnival, Autumn Harvest, Beach Bonfire, Camping Stars, Dessert Table, Retro Disco, Space Odyssey, Under the Sea, and Unicorn Meadow) instead of the default green theme.
