Hey there, welcome to Bad Betty Greeting Co., where vintage charm collides with modern humor.

​

I’m Dana Laureano, a.k.a. “Bad Betty,” the designer behind the sarcastic greeting cards, inappropriate jokes, and questionable ideas that somehow became a business.

I’m a professional graphic designer with around 20 years of experience, and I’ve also spent years digging through estate sales, collecting old ephemera, antique packaging, advertisements, and other forgotten bits of weirdness. That obsession with the past has a lot to do with the way Bad Betty looks today.

​

Bad Betty started in 2020 after my husband Joe bought me a Cricut machine. What began as making funny cards for friends and family quickly snowballed into an Etsy shop and eventually into an independent brand creating greeting cards and novelty gifts for customers and retailers across the country.

​

Today, Bad Betty is still family operated out of Rockford, Michigan. We create vintage-inspired greeting cards and novelty gifts with sharp humor, retro style, and absolutely no interest in being sentimental.

​

While the humor may be inappropriate, the quality is not. Our greeting cards are professionally printed in the USA on premium cardstock, and I still personally concept, design, edit, and finalize every Bad Betty product with an unhealthy level of attention to detail.

​

New designs and products are released regularly because, unfortunately for everyone involved, my brain never stops coming up with this stuff.

Thanks for being here and supporting our weird little corner of the internet.
