FAQ

The word outbloom means “to exceed in bloom”—to outshine everything around it. That’s exactly what we aim for with our cards: designs that stand out and spark a reaction (hopefully a delighted one!). Whether it’s a clever pop-up, a plantable seed card, or simply something with real wow factor, we believe cards should never be boring. We’re especially inspired by the beauty of nature, which often finds its way into our work. As for the name, we chose outBloom.cards over a typical .com—because it felt more personal, more fitting, and just right for us.

Yes! We can handwrite your personalised message directly inside your card, saving you time and postage—we’ll even send it straight to the recipient.

For most cards (excluding plantable ones), we use a stencil and pen to write your message neatly in a style similar to Snell Roundhand. This ensures a consistent, elegant finish and avoids errors—since a mistake would require a complete redraw or reprint.

For our plantable cards, we print your message instead. This protects the delicate seed paper from ink bleed and preserves its ability to grow.

You can also add personal touches to the envelope—such as addressing it to someone special (e.g. To Laura) or including a note on the flap like Open on your birthday! to make your gesture even more meaningful.

If you have a specific request for front-of-card personalisation, just get in touch—we’re always happy to help if we can!

Currently at checkout we only allow one delivery address to be entered. If you wish to send to multiple addresses, please create multiple orders. We are looking to change our checkout process in the future, to allow multiple addresses, but we'll keep you informed!

Currently at checkout we restrict delivery to the UK. The only reason being the excessive costs we'd have to pass onto the customer. But we'll keep our options open, and let you know if this policy changes.
