Yes, you can send a Joker Greeting prank card anonymously—and you don’t have to prepare or mail it yourself.
On eligible cards, choose “Add Gift Message” on the product page. For a $2.99 preparation fee, we’ll print your message, place it inside the card, prepare the prank, and mail it directly to your recipient. And if you add a Glitter Envelope we will add it to the card as well.
The package is plain, there is no receipt inside, and we don’t include your name. If you want your recipient to know who sent it, simply sign your name in the gift message. If you don’t, the prank remains anonymous.

What Makes a Joker Greeting Card Different?
A normal musical greeting card stops when you close it. Ours has other plans.
Once an Endless Joker Greeting card is prepared and opened by the recipient, its music or sound loops nonstop—even after the card is closed. Depending on the design, it can continue playing for hours until the battery finally dies.
Some cards also contain another surprise. Depending on the card, glitter may be hidden inside for anyone who tries to break it, or it may be released by a pull-tab built into the card.
The result is more than a greeting card. It’s a birthday wish, congratulations message, wedding greeting, or friendly hello that becomes an entire experience.
How Direct-to-Recipient Prank Shipping Works
Sending one is simple:
-
Choose an eligible card. Not every product offers direct preparation. If the card qualifies, you’ll see an “Add Gift Message” option on its product page.
-
Write your message. Add something sweet, funny, mysterious, or all three.
-
Choose the preparation service. For $2.99, we print your message and place it inside the card.
-
Enter your recipient’s address. Use the person receiving the prank as the shipping destination.
-
We prepare and mail it. We remove the activation tab, get the card ready, and mail it directly to your recipient.
-
They open it. The card starts playing, they try to close it, and eventually they realize what you have done.
You get to send the prank without handling the card, finding postage, or accidentally activating it yourself.
Is the Prank Really Anonymous?
Yes. Anonymous delivery is the default for prepared gift-message orders.
We don’t add the purchaser’s name to the card, and there is no receipt inside the package. The exterior packaging is plain.
Your identity will only be revealed if you include your name—or another obvious clue—in the message you submit. If you write “Love, Mom,” we are going to assume that part is intentional.
We also believe a good prank should create friends not real hate. We cancel orders intended to threaten or harass someone. Send these cards to friends, relatives, coworkers, and other people who will understand the joke—not someone you are trying to intimidate. (I don't want to talk to police about your problems, haha. I am serious).
A Prank for Birthdays—and Pretty Much Anything Else
Birthdays may be the obvious choice, but an anonymous Joker Greeting works whenever someone deserves a celebration they won’t forget. Send one for a wedding, graduation, new baby, promotion, holiday, thank-you—or simply because your friend has been enjoying too much peace and quiet.
We make cards for major holidays and life events, along with designs that work for almost any occasion. Just remember that direct preparation isn’t available on every product. If you see “Add Gift Message” on the product page, we can prepare that card and mail it directly to your recipient.

Want the Glitter to Start Before They Reach the Card?
Every card comes with a plain envelope. For an additional $2.99, eligible orders can be upgraded with a Glitter Trap Envelope.
When the recipient opens the upgraded envelope, it spills large glitter before they even reach the card. We use larger pieces of glitter rather than extremely fine glitter. It still creates a celebratory mess, but it isn’t meant to permanently ruin someone’s belongings.
The Glitter Trap Envelope is separate from any glitter that may already be built into the card. That means one order can deliver two different surprises:
-
Glitter when the envelope is opened.
-
Endless music—and possibly another built-in glitter surprise—when they investigate the card.
You can also see the available Glitter Trap Envelopes.
Where Can We Mail a Prepared Card?
Our prepared direct-to-recipient service is currently available for addresses in the United States.
We don’t currently offer prepared direct-to-recipient delivery to international addresses because of the additional logistics and shipping costs.
What Should You Write in an Anonymous Prank Card?
That depends on how long you want the mystery to last.
You could make the message sincere:
Congratulations! I wanted to send you something you would remember.
You could lean into the prank:
You always said you wanted the celebration to last longer.
Or you could keep it completely mysterious:
You know what you did.
The best message makes the recipient laugh once they realize who probably sent it.
