💛 Welcome, First Time Mums UK

Tell them you're expecting — with a scratch

Can't be there in person? Send grandparents, family or friends a scratch-off card online. They scratch the foil, your news and scan photo appear, and we tell you the moment it happens.

Messages mums love to reveal

  • “Grandma & Grandad — you're getting a promotion! 👶”
  • “Coming soon: your new favourite niece or nephew”
  • “Guess who's going to be an auntie?”
  • “Our little bean arrives in the spring 🌱”

How it works

  1. 1. Make it — pick the baby card and write your news (or let us help you word it).
  2. 2. Send it — we email the link to your person. No sign-up needed.
  3. 3. Catch the reaction — get an email as soon as they scratch, then give them a call.

Questions

Is it really free?
Yes. The basic scratch card is free to create and send. You only pay if you add extras like your scan photo or a voice note.
Can I add my ultrasound scan?
Yes — add photos for £1.99. Your scan appears when the foil is scratched away.
Will I know when they've seen it?
We email you the moment it's scratched, so you can call them straight away.
Do they need an app?
No. They open the link on their phone or computer and scratch with their finger or mouse.
