Your phone has four thousand photos. Grandma’s fridge has none.

Phones fill up and photos get scrolled past. A card on the fridge stays put. It gets looked at every morning, shown to the neighbor, and cherished forever.

How it works

  1. Pick a photo and record a voice note. Anything from your camera roll, and a minute of the kids saying hi, or you singing badly. The voice note is included and it’s the best part. Add a written note too, if you like.
  2. We print it on our super fancy printer. It goes on thick matte paper that just feels nice. Every photo is tuned to look perfect.
  3. The gram gets dropped in a USPS blue box. It usually arrives three to five days later, anywhere in the US. In its own envelope, so the photo shows up without a scratch. We’ll email you when it’s on its way.
  4. Your loved one scans the QR code on the back. Your voice note plays, and they can save the photo to their phone. No app or sign-up needed.

The back is the good part.

Every card has a QR code on the back. Scan it and you hear the voice note. The day it arrives, at Christmas dinner, five years from now when the card is still on the fridge.

We keep the recording for as long as you’d like us to. No expiring links.

The family behind Grams for the Fam

From a family whose Grandma lives too far away

Grams for the Fam is a family thing created when Facetime wasn't cutting it. Grandma wanted to hear her grandkids any time.

Every card comes from our house. Mom helps coordinate, dad runs the printer, and the boys drop them in the mailbox. If anything’s off with your card, you’ll get an email back from one of us (probably not the 3 year-old).
