Printable birthday cards are available for free or cheap all over the Internet.

Photo collage cards can be extremely humorous, especially for older milestone birthdays. Find an old school photo of the birthday boy or girl in an old yearbook or family photo album, and use the photo for the front of the card. Other photo cards might involve gluing the head of the birthday boy onto the body of someone else, or gluing the birthday girl's photo into a scene showcasing her doing something funny.

Poetry Cards

Poetry can be a wonderful way to get the birthday celebrant to giggle as she reads her birthday card. Find childhood or other poems online and interject the birthday girl's name into the poem and perhaps change the wording a bit. You might also make up a poem about the birthday boy using his name and favorite hobbies, as a humorous play on his personality.
Pet Cards

Pet lovers can find much joy and amusement in birthday cards featuring their favorite furry companions. Take photos of the birthday boy's cat or dog doing various things: playing, lounging, sleeping, eating, and then put captions under each photo pertaining to the birthday celebrant. You might also create a card showing how pet owners and their furry companions really do look alike, paralleling the four-legged friend's features to the birthday boy's.
Music Cards

Musical cards are available for purchase in just about every card shop. Try playing a game on the birthday celebrant by purchasing a musical card for a holiday other than a birthday. Remove the sound button and place it in your handmade birthday card. He will be surprised to hear "We Wish You a Merry Christmas," or the theme song to "The Munsters" when he opens his birthday card. Alternately, you can purchase a sound button from a store such as the Build-A-Bear Workshop and record your own funny song to be placed in the card of your choice.
