16th Birthday Card Ideas
Sweet 16 is one of the most anticipated birthdays there is, and this set gives it the glam it deserves: a decorative 'Sweet 16' doily, an elegant brush-script design, a tiered sixteen cake, and a scattered confetti-and-hearts layout.
There are lighter picks too — a 'look who's 16' puppy, an 'OMG you're 16' card, and a funny 'it took you 16 years to look this good.'
Choose the vibe that fits, write a heartfelt or funny message inside, and print a folded card at home on one sheet of letter paper.
Click any example to open the Foldy Cards maker with the artwork, message, and print orientation already filled in.
