"My daughter made a friend at the park and they played for two hours straight. When it was time to leave she was devastated. I had no way to find that family again. She's handed out maybe ten cards since then and we've set up three real playdates from it."

Jess M.

Mom of a 4-year-old, Austin TX

"My son is on the shy side, but handing someone a card is way easier for him than introducing himself. He gets so proud when he gives one out. Last week at swimming class he walked right up to a kid and said 'here, this is for your mom.' I almost cried."

Marcus T.

Dad of a 5-year-old, Chicago IL

"We moved to a new city and didn't know anyone. I printed a stack of playdate cards and honestly it broke the ice with other parents more than anything else we tried. One mom told me it was the cutest thing she'd ever seen."

Priya S.

Mom of a 3-year-old, Denver CO

"I used to scribble my number on receipts at the playground. Half the time I couldn't even read my own handwriting. These cards are so much better, and my daughter thinks she's famous because she has her own card with her picture on it."

Frequently asked questions

Everything you need to know about playdate cards.

It's a small, printable card for your child -- kind of like a grown-up business card, but way cuter. It has your child's photo, a friendly message, and a QR code. When your kid makes a new friend, they hand over a card. The other parent scans the QR code to reach you and set up a playdate.
They land on a friendly page that says something like "Hi! Your child got a playdate card from [your child's name]!" From there, they can tap a button to get in touch. No apps needed, no sign-up required on their end.
Absolutely. The QR code does not reveal your phone number, email, address, or any private info. It links to a secure contact page. You're always in control of what gets shared and when.
We designed playdate cards with kids ages 3-6 in mind -- the age where they're making friends everywhere but can't exactly exchange business cards on their own. That said, plenty of parents use them for older kids too.
Nope. Any standard home printer works. We recommend cardstock for a sturdier feel, but regular paper is totally fine. The PDF is formatted so you just print and cut.
Yes! You can create separate cards for each of your kids, each with their own photo, message, and QR code. The free plan supports 1 card; upgrade to Pro for unlimited.
No. When they scan your child's QR code, it opens a regular web page in their phone's browser. No app, no account, no friction.
There is. The free plan lets you create one card and includes all the basics. If you want more designs, multiple cards for different kids, or extra features, our paid plan is $4.99/month.

Your kid's next best friend is one playground trip away.

Create your child's first playdate card in about two minutes. It's free to start, and you might just make another parent's day.
