When you want to celebrate a friend or family member’s birthday in a fun and memorable way, sending a quick text or a store-bought card sometimes falls short. You might be wondering if you can send a more unique birthday card—like a video greeting—through WhatsApp. The good news is, you can. Let’s walk through how this works with Sing Me Happy Birthday, where you can create two different kinds of digital birthday cards: the Singing Selfie and the Birthday Slideshow.

What Is Sing Me Happy Birthday?
Sing Me Happy Birthday offers easy-to-create digital birthday greetings that combine music, photos, and a personalized message. Instead of a plain eCard, you get a fun, animated video or slideshow that sings “Happy Birthday” with the recipient’s name. After you’ve created your card, you’ll receive it by email, and from there it’s simple to share it through WhatsApp—either by posting the link or sending the video file directly.
Two Ways to Make a Birthday Card
1. Singing Selfie
- One Photo: This option uses a single picture of you (or someone else) and transforms it into a singing birthday song performance video.
- 16 Music Styles: Pick your favorite genre, whether it’s jazz, country, or something else entirely.
- Personalized Song: The birthday song includes the recipient’s name, adding a special touch.
2. Birthday Slideshow
- Seven Photos: Gather up seven of your favorite pictures of the birthday person. These could be childhood snaps, recent selfies, or anything celebratory.
- 16 Music Styles: Just like the Singing Selfie, you can choose from a variety of styles to match their taste.
- Personalized Greeting: The slideshow is set to a “Happy Birthday” song that calls them by name, making it feel truly personal.
