The Full Story

About

Only Joking was born out of a deep love for sarcasm, side-eye, and the kind of humour that makes your nan gasp.

We make greeting cards for people who are over the boring, the bland, and the beige. Whether you're celebrating a birthday, navigating a breakup, or just want to tell someone they’re a knobhead (with love), we’ve got the card for that.

Each design is designed to be unapologetically honest, and probably funnier than it should be. Because let’s face it — life’s too short for dull cards.

Created by Fran & Jo, Only Joking is here to make sure your messages land with a laugh (or a snort). Offensive? Occasionally. Funny? Always.

Mission

.

At Only Joking, our mission is simple:

To make people laugh, flinch, and question whether they should really be sending that card — and then do it anyway.

We believe greeting cards should be as bold, honest, and ridiculous as the people sending them. Whether it’s an F-bomb birthday or a sarcastic sympathy note, we’re here to help you say what everyone’s thinking (but probably wouldn’t dare write down).

Vision

To become the UK’s go-to card brand for people who aren’t afraid to say what they really mean — with wit, grit, and a bit of swearing.

We envision a world where cards aren’t just cute and forgettable, but loud, laugh-out-loud, and unapologetically real. Whether it’s a breakup, a birthday, or a “just because,” our cards will always deliver the punchline (and maybe a raised eyebrow).
