Never name a number of days
The counter changes every second, so any date, weekday or day count you write into the message is wrong within a day. Write about the wait itself instead and let the numbers do the counting.
Something to look forward to
Start a birthday countdown that ticks every time they open it.
Live to the second, and it resets for next year on its own.
A live counter to their next birthday, on a page they can come back to. If you do not know the date, the page asks them once and counts down every year after that.

A page that is not finished when they close it.
Most surprises are read once. A countdown is a reason to come back - the number is different every time they open it, and it keeps being different until the day it says it is today.
If you do not know the date, leave it blank. The page asks them once, keeps the day and month only, and starts counting from then on, which is a quietly useful way to find out a birthday you have been too embarrassed to ask for.
The counter is the first thing on the page
It sits above the words, because it is the reason the link was opened. Everything else - the note, the letter, the photos, the song - comes after it.
Ask them, if you do not know
Leave the date blank and the page asks for a day and a month once. No year is requested and none is kept; the page only needs a recurring date.
It respects reduced motion
On a device set to reduce motion the seconds column is dropped and the clock ticks once a minute. Digits changing every second are animation, even when they are text.
1 to choose from
Pick the one that matches the moment.
One shape, and it ends with a cake to blow out - candles belong on a birthday page.
Set up a live birthday countdown they will keep opening
Enter their birthday and the page counts down to the next one, ticking every second while they have it open. Add a line about why you are counting; do not add the date, because the counter already carries it. On the day itself the page stops counting and says so, and it holds that for the whole day rather than flipping straight to 364. If you do not know their date, leave it blank - the page asks them once, keeps the day and month only, and runs every year from then on.
Counted in IST, so nobody is told a day early.
A birthday is a calendar date, not an instant. The counter is computed in Indian Standard Time and reads the same for someone in Delhi and someone in Denver, which is the only way "three days to go" means three days to both of them.

How to make a countdown page worth reopening
A countdown is the one kind of page people come back to, which changes what belongs on it. Anything you write has to still be true in three months, and the reason to return has to be something other than the timer itself.
Give them a reason to come back
Say what is coming, or what you are quietly planning, in a way that is worth checking on. The note under the timer is what turns a clock into something they reopen.
Leave the date blank if you are guessing
A wrong birthday counts down to the wrong day and reads as careless. Leaving it empty lets the page ask them once, which is more accurate and usually more charming than a guess.
Questions people ask before they make one.
Does the countdown keep running?
Yes. It is computed when the page is opened, so it is correct on every visit, and it starts again for the following year by itself.
What if I do not know their exact birthday?
Leave the date blank. The page asks them for a day and a month the first time they open it, keeps only those two numbers, and counts down every year afterwards.
Which time zone does it count in?
Indian Standard Time. A birthday is a calendar date rather than an instant, so counting it in one fixed zone is what stops a reader abroad being told it is over hours early.
What happens on the day itself?
The counter stops and the page says it is today, and it holds that for the whole day rather than jumping to next year at midnight.
Can I add photos and a song?
Yes. A countdown page keeps the note, the memories, the song and an optional letter, with the timer above them.
Can I send it before their birthday and let them keep it?
That is the intended use. It is one link, it does not expire, and the number is different every time they open it.
Does the page expire?
No. Create it once and keep it for a lifetime. Only photos and video are removed after seven days to save space.
Not the page you were after?
- Online invitationsNine kinds of invitation. One link. Every reply in one place.
- Proposal pageTwo buttons. One answer. And it stays where you asked.
- Apology pageName it. Own it. Ask for nothing until the end.
