Who we are

Placeholder

At It’s Complicated, we believe in the power of words and the beautiful messiness of human connections. Every card we create is more than just paper; it’s a moment waiting to be shared. We know that life is complicated, as are some of our connections. That’s where we come in.

It’s Complicated was born out of a moment of frustration and a whole lot of love. Our journey began with my daughter, who has a complicated relationship with her father. She wanted to find a card that spoke to her reality – not too perfect or heartfelt, pretty distant, but real. When nothing on the shelf captured what she wanted to say, I realized there was a gap in the world of greeting cards. That’s when It’s Complicated was born.

Cards should reflect our life’s messy, beautiful truths and the people in them. We believe that every relationship, no matter how complex, deserves to be acknowledged in its own unique way. Whether it’s a card for an estranged parent, an ex who’s still a friend, a love that defies easy definitions, a complex friendship, or an unconventional family dynamic, we create cards that say what’s on your heart—even when the words feel hard to find.

Whether you’re saying “Happy Birthday,” “Thank You,” or “I’m Thinking of You,” we want to help you say it in a way that feels meaningful and true to you. Because everyone deserves to feel seen, no matter their story.
