Many Happy Returns

About Many Happy Returns

Many Happy Returns is a birthday website that friends and family make together. Instead of one card, the birthday person gets a whole site. The demo, “Maya is 30”, was made by her best friend Sam with 23 friends and family, so every page reads like a real birthday rather than placeholder text.

A cover that counts down

The home page opens on a full-bleed photo, a big birthday headline and a live countdown to the day. On the day it says so, and afterwards it changes to a line of your choosing.

Letters, some still sealed

Everyone writes a letter, and each one gets its own page. A letter can stay sealed until a date you choose, then open by itself.

The years, the wish, the party

A scrapbook timeline with a year scrubber, a wish cake you hold to make a wish, a wall of guest wishes, and a party page with a long-table seating plan, the night’s schedule, an RSVP form and Add to Calendar.

Your content lives in the CMS
