Honestly, I never thought in a million years that I would be days from being 30 and be so excited about that but I genuinely am! I can’t really explain why, but I’m filled with all the feel good feelings this time around and previously birthdays were just like any old other day for me. I spend them kinda entertaining myself and that was fine, I was alright with it, this year feels different though. I really want people to celebrate with me! I think it would be a lot of fun to get a slew of Birthday cards sent my way for this milestone, if you’re reading this and you think that is something you’d wanna be a part of just let me know you’re up for it and I will send the mailing address right over! P.s. I love Birthday Cards that are packed with hilarity! I will love literally any card you guys choose to send to me, but those silly ones just make my day! Who doesn’t like a good laugh? The more grown up the humor the better but don’t feel like you guys are restricted, just be authentic and I’m going to love what you send. Thanks for considering my request for these!! About a week and some days now and my 30th will be upon me. I’ll take any amount of birthday wish cards, just let me know it’s ok to DM the mailing address your way! SO EXCITED TO HEAR FRPM YOU GUYS!
[USA] I know it’s silly but the honest truth is that I think it would be incredibly fun to be a part of a snail mail overhaul of birthday wish cards from complete strangers! My 30th is near the end half of January and I’m actually excited to reach that milestone! I’m hoping maybe a bunch of people might join in on that day with me by sending a card through the mail to help put a smile on my face. I’d totally love you guys for the gesture!Definitely post if you’re feeling kind and don’t mind sharing in on this milestone with me and I can DM my mailing address! Thank you so much!
Thank you all so, so much for the birthday cards! I turned 30 (what I consider) successfully!! Your kind messages helped me so much! I appreciate you all :)
Hey friends! I'm turning the dreaded 3-0 in a month and would love some cards for this special birthday! Kind words, words of wisdom, whatever you have to offer I would love!
Here's some of my interests if you want to customize a card for me: Favorite colors: pink and purple I love animals, anything that gives of witchy vibes, glitter, anime, and I work in the beauty industry, and I'm a Sagittarius!
If you'd be so kind as to help me celebrate this big birthday, it would make my day!
December 14th is my actual bday.
Hi all!
I'm turning the big 3-0 this year (in November actually), and I would really really love to get 30 birthday cards for my 30th. So, if you have a spare birthday card lying around, I'd love to have it in my mailbox.
I'm also willing to share hobbies and interests if anyone wants to do a specific kind of card.
Thanks in advance!
Hello friends!
I am making a request because one of my best friends is turning 30 around the end of January!
We met years ago at the local YMCA for a mindfulness group as we both struggle with our mental health. We’ve been wonderful friends since then.
We had a long conversation the other day and it seems like she is dreading it a little so I thought that maybe some fun birthday cards from my favourite online friends and strangers would lighten up her day.
We talked specifically about society’s timeline for us (go to school, date, get married, have kids) during our 20s and how we are trying to be compassionate with ourselves and saying “no” to that prescribed timeline but having our inner critic keep telling us “yes”.
I will be collecting these cards and giving them to her on her birthday. Please write “for Sharin” or “for Sharin’s birthday” on the envelope so I know these aren’t for me! They will be arriving at my address.
Some of her favourite things are cats (she has an orange tabby named Chanel), mushrooms, witchy things (she’s been exploring her spirituality as a green witch), crafting/art, poetry, hummingbirds, Iceland/puffins (she went there on a trip by herself once despite her anxiety!) and being out in nature.
Thank you! 🎈
I would love to get 30 cards for my 30th birthday on November 12th!
Things I love : Taylor Swift , Dolly Parton , color pink , unicorns , mermaids , books ( I’m a reader ) , word searches , Scooby Doo , I love Lucy show , Andy Griffith show , encouraging quotes , bible verses are okay too since I’m religious, Rainbows , Dogs , Cats , cheesy dad jokes , stickers , bookmarks , Gilmore girls , Coloring , Horses , Daisy and pink roses are my favorite flowers , Disney fan , old school and vintage style and items on cards , Dr Pepper, brownies , ice cream , cheesecake, muffins , Angels , Sparkly things
Please feel free to include your username in the card and envelope so I can write a thank you post at a later time thank you for considering to read or send me a card I know it’s a lot of care and hard work and I appreciate this so much I don’t have a lot of friends and this would make me so happy !
Hi everyone!
Hoping everyone is staying safe and healthy. For my birthday this year I set up a PO Box to get hand written notes! But reaching out to Reddit to see if I can get postcards from wherever you are from!
I hope you will consider writing me a hand written note: Ping me for the PO Box address!
Hi everyone!
It’s my husband’s birthday on the 1st Sept and he’s turning 30! He’s a very simple guy in regards to bday celebrations and insists on no presents, no cake, no fancy meal or day out. The only thing he likes is when I put up decorations and get his favourite takeaway but this year I want to make it a bit more special seeing how it’s a milestone bday.
He’s loved seeing the cards I’ve received over the past year and thinks the sub in general is a really cool thing (he doesn’t have Reddit) so I’d like to gift him 30 of his own cards to mark the day.
No specifics or preferences in regards to design, please leave a comment if you’d like to contribute and I’ll PM you with the address.
Thank you so much!!
This is such a beautiful subreddit <3 I was wondering if anyone could help me? Using a throwaway so he doesn't find out about this!
My husband is an absolute gem. He's supported me so much over the last 10 years. But we've had a rough few years which ended with us having to move home without telling people our new address so his parents can't find him...they've abused him enough :(
His mental health is finally recovering and doing TONS better, but moving house has meant he only gets a couple of birthday cards :( I would be over the moon if he could just have one birthday where he had more to open!
His birthday is August 30th. He's a nerdy metalhead drummer and the best day of his life was when he got his photo taken with BB-8 at Disney World :D I'm going to be in so much trouble if he finds I told everyone that :D Would anyone be willing to send him a little card? Even if it's the cheapest one you can find, I know he would be so chuffed to have one mystery card to open!
Please let me know if you could send him a card and I'll DM his address. Thank you so much for reading this <3
Suppose I'm just feeling a bit sorry for myself and lonely.. It's my 30th in three weeks and I won't have any family or anyone to celebrate with and it will be nice to just get a card. I don't even know if this request will be allowed here but i figured it would be worth an ask 😅 even a note or anything. I don't manage to make friends as I come across blunt to people and people think I'm weird and it will be nice to know somebody fake cares for my birthday 😩
What makes it worse is my step mum died three days before my birthday in 2018 so I know it's gonna be a bit of a Debbie downer. I hope this request doesn't come across weird :/
Please feel free to contact me if you're interested! Thankyou
My birthday is January 23rd
Reddit won't let me send any more inboxes (I presume because it thinks I'm spamming due to all the inbox replies. Please inbox me if you're interested as I can still reply, just not start a message)
My first RAOC birthday! Also first birthday of mine affected by COVID19 (aka not many ways to celebrate!). Also, In 2018 I lost my Grandma over my birthday week and it has been rough for me every year to think about now.
Anyways, I AM GOING TO BE 30! T H I R T Y! Seems unreals.
I'd appreciate some happy birthday cards!
I love lots of glitter, and when you use lots of stickers, multicolored things and all animals (especially silly animals that are ridiculously photoshopped haha)! I also love crafty things (my favorite hobby aside from computer games is cross-stitching). If you have something Christian I don't mind you send that to me, either. If you want, I would love to hear a favorite birthday memory of yours, or a worst birthday ever! I would love entertaining myself reading your embarrassing stories, too :).
Please mark the card on the outside birthday somehow and I'll open them all on my birthday. Which is January 27.
I appreciate you all!
This is in no way a petty thing, I purely want to do it because it's funny but I'm not sure how it would come across.
I turned 24 last year and my boyfriend (super sweet guy) made me a cake with a huge 25 candle on top of it. I burst out laughing and told him I was born in 1995. He was a bit embarrased but I was in no way offended, we had been together for a few months only and told him many times afterwards too that it was no big deal and I really thought it was funny. He put it away and it's still in his drawer for this year. I was very grateful for it and we still had fun and I think it's a funny story.
His birthday is coming up this weekend and it's his 28th. I got his gift and thought it would be funny to get him a card for 30 just for fun and of course a real one too. I think it's a funny inside joke and if it was me I would find it funny but I'm not sure, I guess 30 is a bigger milestone or what not and maybe it would be a harsh joke.
What do you think?

Growing up, my family was always close to my moms sister. My aunt has two girls who are identical twins and I was always forced to play nice with them even though they never wanted to hang out. When I got married, I asked them to be my bridesmaids, and they stood up in my wedding. Only for them to go back to ignoring me and not putting forth effort into the relationship. I mailed them flowers, would call them each month, send happy birthday texts, and handwrite them letters. But they never initiated. I decided to forgo the relationship, and stopped reaching out. They didn’t reach out or contact me for over a year, only to say thanks after I texted “happy birthday”.
I am turning 30 in a few weeks and my parents had a plan to host a party with people flying in from across the country. Yesterday, one of the twins had a bridal shower and I was begged to go by my mom, even though I was not asked to be a bridesmaid and did not want to go.
When I got ready for the shower, my mother didn’t like my hair and told me to wash it, didn’t like my outfit and told me to change, and once I did all those things to just get through the day and survive, then she was upset with how little I talked with everyone at the shower and was giving me nasty glares across the table and hitting my knees underneath. I found out at the shower that my twin cousins both bought houses, graduated with their masters, and they didn’t even tell me. I felt so hurt at the shower that I decided to tell my parents I did not want them to be invited to my 30th birthday party as on my 21st my dog died in my arms and I’ve never had a big party for it and I wanted to invite the people who do not make me feel bad about myself.
My mom stopped speaking to me, my dad wrote me the most hurtful message I’ve ever read from him - sharing that they are cancelling the party, that they will not be attending, and that I am being a selfish spoiled brat. In this context, I have invited my twin cousins to every birthday party, every college party - all of it. I have never been invited to

First time doing a request here! I’m turning 30 this month and blah blah blah COVID, big trip cancelled but I am hoping to still celebrate on a small scale. I would love some birthday cards for this monumental coming of age! I’m in the US if that helps at all. Please message me for address. Thank you. 💕💕💕
Hi everyone -- I'm a first time poster on this sub. Thank you for bearing with my rambling!
My husband is turning 30 in about two weeks and due to COVID we obviously won't be able to have a traditional party, even with his family. (We're following VERY strict shelter at home and his parents are very-high risk, so even when we see them it's very strict social distancing.) I could tell that he was bummed out about not having a traditional get together for his birthday--it's the one time he ever really puts himself first, but he seemed to be taking it in stride over the last few weeks.
Fast forward to the end of last week, though, and he got really bad news about work. Starting 07.01, his job (which he loves) has been eliminated and he's crushed. I think he's feeling really down and understandably sad. He tries not to get down about it, but I know that he's really struggling.
My goal is to surprise him with 30 cards from 30 reddit users for his 30th birthday. I think it'd really make him smile. If you're able to help, I'd really appreciate it and I think it could really cheer him up.
Please comment or message me if you have any questions and THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP!!!
Edit: I totally forgot to include his name. His name is Aldous. Sorry!
Warmest regards, Mrs. Bob Crochets

Title. Turned the big 3-0 today and I felt pretty miserable for most of the day. Only three people messaged me to wish me a happy birthday, two of them were ex-flatmates from years ago when I was living in London. The other was a former co-worker who up until recently moved back to his home country.
Not one of my ‘friends’ from my masters program messaged me, even after I told them I couldn’t meet for drinks on Sunday because I’m going out for a meal with family to celebrate my 30th birthday.
The real stinger however was my ex-girlfriend who I’ve spent my last four birthdays with (a girl I was a month shy of proposing to) didn’t even acknowledge me today. She left me back in October for a far more impressive specimen of a man who I could never compete with physically.
The highlight of the day was the meal I had with my family. I’m extremely grateful that my parents are still kicking and sound of mind given their age. It just sucks when I take a step back and rethink back to my older sister and older brother’s 30th birthdays, they were amazing. Huge parties, plenty of friends, booze, entertainment etc.
They must have felt some pity for me, seeing as all I had planned was a mere family meal. I play the charade that I’m a ‘low-key’ kinda guy but I’m not. I’d much rather have what they experienced, but I couldn’t. When my relationship ended, it seems most of my friends that were in some way affiliated with my ex faded away from my life as well.
What am I doing now? Sat alone in my apartment that I pay 60% of my income towards. Listening to grungy doomer music, trying to get internet strangers to feel sorry for me. In for work at half 8 tomorrow, go to the gym, come home, eat dinner, sleep, repeat.
You may ask why I’m posting this here. Well I first posted on a depression forum but it got literally no comments and went unnoticed for the most part. I’m also reaching out to any Irish fellas/lasses here that may have gone through a similar experience(s) to me, if they’d have any guidance going forward I’d be very grateful.
Thanks for reading, hope this hasn’t depressed you too much.
Edit: Thanks so much for the birthday wishes dudes!
As per title my hubby is 30. We were going to go away for a city break but Covid put paid to any plans of that or even a family gathering. His immediate fam are acting like 30 is nothing special and he's a bit deflated by it. Looking for any cards, especially funny, to make his day! Thanks in advance

I hope I’m allowed to do this but I’m reposting my request in an effort to achieve the last 10 I need! I would absolutely love for this to work out!
Thank you in advance, you lovely bunch! <3
