it’s time! it’s time!!
i’ve been getting so many emails & tweets regarding when the love & envelopes birthday girls club will be open for new sign-ups. well friends — it’s open as of today!!
i can’t believe a full year has gone by since i had the honor to start up a second chapter of this mega popular card sending club & i’m so excited for another year full of birthday blessings, confetti & delicious cupcake pictures :]
if you’re somewhat new around here & you haven’t seen any of my love & envelopes posts each month, here’s the skinny::
♥ love & envelopes is a birthday club designed just for female bloggers. there are no age limits — anyone with an active blog can join. there’s a super simple form you can fill out {below} & that’s it…. you’re in!
♥ each month i send out ONE email that is blind copied to a big handful of other club members {this means no one gets your email address except me!!}. in this email you’ll receive the name of another love & envelopes club member along with her birthday, blog link, favorite colors, mailing address, etc. lots of fun information to help you pick the perfect card for her!
♥ you’ll mail out the card to your assigned friend so she gets the card in time for her birthday. feel free to send more than a card, but that is absolutely & 100% completely optional — just a card is all you’ve signed up for :] i like to include my blog & shop business card inside so that the birthday girl can find me online & we can get to know each other. it’s a perfect way to network & make some new, amazing online friends!!
♥ when your birthday month arrives, be prepared to open a ton of pretty & fun birthday cards, full of well wishes from new friends {& sometimes even piles of confetti!!}. if you post a blog about all the “love & envelopes” you received, i’ll post it with my monthly blog post where i feature each birthday girl during her month {including a link to her blog, shop, twitter, etc}!
♥ your monthly birthday card DOES NOT have to be store-bought! i totally encourage you to be as creative, thrifty & practical as you desire! a few ideas to consider:: handmade cards designed on classic kraft card stock, a collage created from repurposed birthday cards of the past {!!!}, purchasing a bulk package of blank notecards at Target, checking the dollar store for pretty & simple greeting cards…. the possibilities are endless {& never more expensive than you care to make them}.
the club sounds totally fun & awesome, right?! last year we had over 60 amazing bloggers sending cards & tweeting birthdays to each other. i’m so blessed by each of the girls i got to know through the club — && i’m totally pumped to get to know Y-O-U this year, too! to get started, click on the link below, fill out the form {entirely, please!!} & you’ll receive a welcome email soon!

This is such a sweet idea!
thanks, danielle!! it’s so much fun!
I just signed up!! I’ve seen the buttons around, but I didn’t know how to get involved…now I’m super excited!
Also, one of my goals for this year is to send more snail mail, and I’m kinda failing that right now, so this is perfect. Thanks so much for sharing & putting this together! 
yay!!! so glad to have you as part of the club now :] it’s so much fun & a great way to connect with new ladies who blog!
I just ran across this today and it sounds like so much fun! Can I still sign up or should I wait until the next chapter begins? My birthday has passed for this year, but I would love to send cards to others for the remainder of the year!
