Personalised 1940s Photo Card, Custom Birthday Anniversary Card, Wartime Britain Gift, Choose Your Era Card

What if you had been around in the 1940s? 🇬🇧❤️

Upload a photograph you love and we'll transport the people in it back to the 1940s, creating a completely personalised A5 greeting card that's made around your photograph, your people and your memories.

This isn't simply your faces placed into a standard template.

We build the era around your photograph.

We use the people, positioning, pose and character of the photo you send us as the starting point, then transform the clothing, hair, surroundings and atmosphere to create your chosen 1940s world — while prioritising the recognisable features that make them them.

Perfect for birthdays, anniversaries, Mum & Dad, grandparents, couples, best friends, siblings and families — and especially lovely for milestone birthdays or anyone who loves vintage Britain and 1940s nostalgia.

CHOOSE YOUR 1940s SCENE

💃 England Glamour Ballroom — step into an elegant evening of beautiful gowns, dinner jackets, dancing and big-band glamour.

🇬🇧 Wartime Britain — nostalgic British streets, stations and home-front atmosphere, filled with the unmistakable style and spirit of the 1940s.

🎉 VE Day Street Party — bunting, neighbours, teacups, celebration and that wonderful feeling of people coming together.

Whichever scene you choose, your photograph leads the design. We don't force your people into a predetermined pose — we create the 1940s world around the moment you've given us.

HOW TO ORDER

Choose your scene and the number of people you'd like included (1–4 people), upload your photograph, then tell us the exact wording you'd like on the front of your card.

Your wording can be incorporated into the finished design, making the card truly personal.

For example:

“Happy 80th Mum — You'd Have Been the Belle of the Ballroom.”

or

“Happy Anniversary Mum & Dad — You'd Have Made Quite the Pair in the 1940s.”

We'll then create the artwork especially for you.

FOR THE BEST RESULTS

Please upload a photograph with clear, visible faces and good lighting. Photos where the people are reasonably close to the camera usually give the best results.

Heavy filters, very dark photographs, sunglasses or faces that are extremely small may affect the finished likeness.

Your photograph can include 1–4 people maximum.

Don't worry about what they're wearing or where the original photograph was taken — we'll build the 1940s around it.

YOUR FINISHED CARD

Your personalised artwork is printed as an A5 greeting card (148 × 210 mm when folded), ready to give to someone special.

Choose to leave your card blank inside or add your own personalised inside message.

Every Choose Your Era card is individually created from the photograph you provide. Our listing images show examples of the style and atmosphere you can expect rather than fixed templates.

Your finished design will be created around your people, pose, positioning and original moment, so every card will be completely unique.

Facial likeness can vary slightly as part of the artistic transformation, but recognisability is always our priority.

No digital proof is supplied as standard. Once your personalised artwork has been completed and checked by Studio Gen, your card will be sent directly into production.

Same people. Different era. ❤️
