Most people want continuity with the memorial card. Same photo. Same colours. Same tone. That way everything feels connected. If someone received the card at the service and then gets a thank-you note later, it makes sense visually. That consistency matters more than fancy design.
Common formats are folded cards or simple flat note cards with envelopes. Some families prefer a blank inside so they can write their own message. Others want a printed acknowledgement paragraph thanking neighbours, friends, or medical staff. There’s no strict rule. It depends how formal or informal the family wants it to feel.
Photo quality again matters. The same rules apply as memorial cards — if the image is soft or pixelated, it will show. If you’re unsure, send it over and we’ll check before anything goes to print. It’s easier to fix at that stage than after.
