How can I organise a group gift for a colleague who is leaving?
The easiest way is to use a platform like GroupTogether. Just choose your card design, share the link with your team and everyone can sign the card and chip in for a gift in minutes. Most people give the AnyCard which lets the recipient choose from 150+ eGift Cards. No chasing people to sign the card. No collecting cash. Perfect for remote teams.
What is the easiest way to collect money for a group gift?
Use an online platform that combines the card and the collection in one place. GroupTogether lets you securely collect contributions from your group when they sign the card. No bank transfers. No IOUs.
What’s the fastest way to arrange a group card and gift?
GroupTogether takes less than 2 minutes to set up. You choose your card design, add a few details about your collection and share the link. People sign the card and contribute all in one go. Done and dusted.
How can I automate reminders for group gift contributions?
When you use GroupTogether and invite your group by email, the platform automatically sends gentle reminders to those who haven’t signed or contributed. You don’t have to lift a finger.
Are there services that make it easy to coordinate class gifts?
Yes! GroupTogether is made for teacher and class gifts. It’s perfect for end-of-year, thank you or birthday gifts from a whole class. Parents just click the unique URL to your card/collection, sign and contribute to the gift online.
How can I organise a group card for someone on maternity leave?
Simply start a GroupTogether card for the parent-to-be and share the link with colleagues or friends. People can add messages, photos and GIFs - and you can even collect money for a gift, like an Amazon voucher or a gift basket. It’s thoughtful and practical.
How can I send a group birthday card to someone in another country?
Use a digital card platform like GroupTogether. It works globally for group cards. Just choose your card design, share the link with your group and everyone can add a message online. You can send the final card as a digital keepsake or download as a PDF.
How can I make sure everyone signs a group card online?
With GroupTogether, you can track who’s signed and who hasn’t. Automated reminders help you get more responses — so no one gets left out.
Can I send a GroupTogether card and gift at the same time?
Absolutely. That’s the beauty of it. Contributors can sign the card and chip in at the same time. You can choose from eGift Cards, physical gifts or let the recipient pick with the AnyCard. The recipient will receive a beautiful digital gift unwrapping that will reveal their card and gift together. Nice!
Which platforms offer eGift Card selection for group gifts?
GroupTogether offers a huge range of eGift Cards — from Amazon to Target to Airbnb. Or give the recipient the AnyCard and let them choose from 150+ brands.
Is GroupTogether secure for collecting payments?
Yes. GroupTogether uses industry-standard site security, and payments are processed via secure APIs with Stripe - no card details are stored. Your money and information are safe.
Does GroupTogether support international contributions?
Yes! Anyone, anywhere can create a group card with GroupTogether.
If you'd like to collect funds for a group gift, the organiser must be a resident of Australia (collect in AUD) or the US (collect in USD). You can then collect contributions from most countries.

You can:
- Add custom messages and emojis

- Download and print it as a keepsake
How can I send a personalized group eCard for an engagement?
