Folded greeting cards and thank you notes are an excellent way to send personal messages to ministry partners, family, and friends. Flat cards are great as prayer cards, and are often used for announcing births, graduations, and other important events.
Card Sizes
We can send greeting cards and thank you cards in a variety of sizes:
- A2 (quarter sheet)
- A4 (4x6)
- A7 (5x7)
- A9 (half sheet)
All of these sizes can be full-bleed, meaning there are no white margins around the edges.
Additionally, each size can be sent either as a folded card or a flat card (like a postcard in an envelope).
Express One-Off Cards
If you want to send a card to a single address, click Send a Greeting Card from the My Account page or while viewing a contact in your mailing list.
Follow the instructions to upload a photo and type your message. If we have your signature on file, you can include it in the card as well.
Blank Card Templates
Cards can be a little fiddly to get right, but we try to make it as easy as possible. If you just want a photo on the outside and a message on the inside (folded) or back (flat), the easiest thing to do is send us the photo and your message, and we'll take care of the layout for you.
Prefer to design your own? Start from one of these blank templates to ensure that the page size is set up correctly:
| Size | Folded Card | Flat Card | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Wide | Tall | Wide | Tall | |
| A2 4.25x5.5 |
||||
| A4 4x6 |
||||
| A7 5x7 |
||||
| A9 5.5x8.5 |
||||
If your design is full-bleed (i.e. one or more elements go all the way to the edge of the card), the key thing is to make sure the photo or background overshoots the final card size by at least 1/8" on the outside of the card, and that it ends exactly at the fold.
If you run into any trouble, get it as close as you can, then send us the file. We should be able to get it the rest of the way for you.
