Before you buy

What you need, and what it doesn't do

What you need

A printer that takes card stock (two-sided printing is easiest for the card) or a print shop, scissors or a trimmer, a ruler, glue or tape, pens; a computer with Chrome or Edge to personalize.

How to personalise

Direction, retiree's name, front and inside wording, sign-off and sender, the five prompts, up to four guest names per notes sheet, note wording, envelope name and accent color, typed in the offline personalizer.

Good to know

Digital download: nothing is printed or mailed.
Personalizer tested in Chrome-type browsers only.
The ready-to-print card is direction A; the direction B card wording is in the personalizer (the four notes are always from the retiree).
Card and envelope print two-sided (flip on short edge); one-sided printers need a manual second pass.
No JPG or PNG export; the shareable output is a PDF.
Physical printing, cutting and folding were not tested; geometry was measured in the PDFs.
