Which cards you need
Most families make one or two kinds. Prayer or keepsake cards are the most common: one per guest, handed out at the door or tucked into each funeral program. Thank-you cards go out in the weeks after, to people who sent flowers, brought food or helped with the service. Invitations make sense when the service is a few weeks away, such as a memorial or a celebration of life.
Printing at home or ordering
Card printers can deliver memorial cards in a day or two, but you can print these tonight. Use 80 to 110 lb card stock. Prayer cards print six to a Letter sheet with cut marks, and 5 × 7 cards print two to a sheet. If you’d rather have them printed, every design also downloads as a print-shop PDF with bleed and crop marks.
Wording for the back
The back of a prayer card holds about 40 to 60 words. Choose a traditional prayer, a few lines of a public-domain poem, or a short quote they loved. For ideas, see short verses for memorial cards and short quotes for memorial cards. For thank-you wording, see funeral thank you card messages.
Questions families ask
What is a memorial card?
Most people mean the small card handed out at a funeral, with a photo on one side and a prayer or verse on the other. The term also covers thank-you cards and announcements sent by the family.
Can I make all my cards match?
Yes. The Garden, Eucalyptus, Noir and Sunflower designs each come as a thank-you card, an invitation and a program, with the same photo frame and colors. Garden also comes as a prayer card.
How long does it take to print memorial cards at home?
About an hour for 100 prayer cards, most of it cutting. Thank-you cards print two to a sheet and take a few minutes to trim.
