Forgot the Card? Send a Smile in Seconds with GreetBay

Forgot the Card? Send a Smile in Seconds with GreetBay

We’ve all been there. You open your calendar, see a name highlighted in bright colours and feel your stomach drop — that birthday was today. Maybe it’s your sister, your best friend from school, or a colleague who always remembers yours. The card shop is closed, the post would take days, and you don’t want to send a quick text that says “Sorry I forgot.”

That’s exactly the moment GreetBay was created for.


At GreetBay, we believe heartfelt wishes shouldn’t depend on perfect timing or a trip to the shop. Life moves fast, people forget dates, and sometimes the kindest thing you can do is send something that makes someone smile right now. Our instant video greetings are designed for those last-minute moments — the ones that matter most because they’re real, honest, and spontaneous.



Instant warmth, no waiting



Traditional greetings still have their charm, but waiting for a card to arrive can feel like an eternity when you want your message to reach someone today. With GreetBay, your chosen video greeting lands in the recipient’s inbox within seconds of payment. No app downloads, no accounts to create, no complicated steps. Just pick a video, add your message, and send — done.


That simplicity is deliberate. We wanted a system that anyone could use, from a six-year-old sending Nana a digital hug to a grandparent wishing a teenager happy birthday. If you can click and type, you can GreetBay it.



Perfect for the “Oh no, I forgot!” moment



Let’s be honest: most greetings aren’t planned weeks in advance. They happen when you remember in the middle of a busy day, or when a social media reminder pops up on your phone. GreetBay takes the panic out of that situation. Our library is full of ready-made videos for birthdays, anniversaries, congratulations, new babies, graduations, new jobs, and dozens of other occasions. Because each video is professionally produced and under 20 MB, they open fast on any device — even on mobile data.


So when inspiration (or guilt!) strikes, you can go from “I forgot” to “I sent something beautiful” in under a minute.



Why video matters



A text message can say the words, but a video shows the feeling. Movement, colour, and music create emotion instantly. Watching a cheerful “Happy Birthday” video pop up in your inbox feels far more personal than reading a line of text. It’s as close as you can get to being there in person, especially when distance makes physical cards or gifts impossible.


Because GreetBay videos are generic rather than personalised, they suit everyone. You don’t need to know someone’s favourite colour or sense of humour — just choose the theme that fits and let the visuals do the rest. That universality also means the same video can be enjoyed in any country or language. Love and kindness don’t need translation.



Affordable and reusable



Each greeting costs just €3.99 — less than most printed cards, and with instant delivery included. There are no subscriptions, hidden fees, or memberships. You buy what you need, when you need it. For creators and senders alike, it’s a fair model: simple, transparent, and good value.


Our customers often tell us they love being able to send something meaningful without downloading yet another app or signing up for a monthly plan they’ll forget to cancel. GreetBay is pay-as-you-feel — spontaneous by design.



Always growing



Since 2017, we’ve been building our collection one video at a time. New designs arrive for every season — Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year, Valentine’s Day, Mother’s Day, and more. Each clip is short, warm, and crafted to fit that moment of connection. We keep file sizes small so delivery is instant and playback smooth on phones, tablets, or laptops.


Every video you see on GreetBay is unique to our platform. That means you’ll never send something that looks like it came from a stock animation site. When you choose a GreetBay greeting, you’re sending a tiny piece of digital craftsmanship made for the exact purpose of brightening someone’s day.



Connection made simple



Our mission has always been to make sending love digital, fast, and easy. We know that modern life doesn’t stop for birthdays, and not every celebration fits neatly into a schedule. But with GreetBay, you never have to miss the chance to show you care.


So next time you glance at the calendar and realise you’ve forgotten an important date, don’t panic — just GreetBay it. Choose a video, hit send, and know that somewhere in the world, a screen is lighting up with a smile that you caused.
