Three types of greeting cards — only one surprises people

E-cards, template videos, and AI-generated greetings. Not that different in cost. Wildly different in reaction.

Static e-card vs template video vs AI video greeting
	Static e-card	Template video	AI video greeting
What it is	A JPEG or GIF in an email. The recipient knows you clicked "send to all."	Pre-recorded clip where you type in a name. Says "Hi Emma" then goes generic.	Script written from scratch for the recipient — their name and details appear throughout.
Effort	Zero effort	2 minutes	5 minutes to describe the person
Impact	Zero impact	Moderate — kids notice the generic bits	High — it feels like it was made for them

How it works — four steps, under 15 minutes

Questions about video greeting cards

What is a video greeting card?

A video greeting card is a short video message sent instead of a paper card or static e-card. Unlike a text email with a GIF, it shows a person (or character) speaking directly to the recipient. Modern AI-powered video greeting cards go further: the speaker uses the recipient's name, references personal details, and the script is generated to match the occasion. The result lands somewhere between a personalised video call and a premium greeting card.

How is an AI video greeting card different from recording one on my phone?

A phone recording shows you talking. An AI video greeting card shows Santa speaking a script written specifically for the recipient, lip-synced with subtitles. The recipient gets the "how did they do that?" moment of hearing Santa say their name, instead of watching you read from a script on a video call. Both are personal — the AI version just adds the surprise.

How much does a personalised video greeting card cost?

Prices vary a lot from service to service, and change often enough that a specific range would likely be wrong by the time you read this. On aisanta.fun, a personalised AI Santa video is one flat, one-time price — no tiers, no upsells; see current pricing on our site. You get to read and edit the script before you pay.

Can I send a video greeting card on my phone?

Yes. Most AI video greeting services deliver the final video as an MP4 file that plays on any phone. You can share it via WhatsApp, iMessage, email, Facebook Messenger, or any app that handles video attachments. The recipient does not need a special app — they just tap play. Some services also generate a shareable link so the recipient can watch in a browser without downloading a file.

What occasions work best for a video greeting card?

Christmas is the classic use case, and it's what aisanta.fun actually makes — a video of Santa saying a child's name and mentioning something from their year. Video greeting cards as a category can suit birthdays, anniversaries, or other occasions too, but that needs a different character or a different tool. Our wizard only makes Santa videos, and only for Christmas.

How long does it take to create an AI video greeting card?

Writing the script takes about 2 minutes — you give the recipient's name and a few details, and the AI drafts it for you to edit. Once you pay, the Santa video renders in under 15 minutes. From "I want to send one" to "the video is ready" is under 15 minutes total.

A Santa video that says your child's name, mentions their hobby, and gets the details right beats a generic template every time. It takes about five minutes to describe the person, for one flat price — see current pricing.
