Embarrassingly easy

We do the hard part. You answer a few simple questions, we write something that sounds like you put proper thought in. You didn't, but nobody needs to know that.

01
Pick the occasion
Birthday, funeral, leaving do, new baby — 40+ situations. Even the awkward ones.
02
Tell us a little about them
Don't worry if you're drawing a blank. We have prompts for that too.
03
Set the tone
Heartfelt or hilarious. One line or a full speech. Flag anything sensitive and we'll tread carefully.
04
Get your message
Read it, copy it, send it. Take full credit. We won't tell a soul.

Every occasion you've been dreading
