A Leafy Wreath and Life Story for a Grandparent
A soft green and blue background with bokeh circles and pale leaves carries a round photo of a smiling grandmother in a thin white leaf wreath. A white rounded pill holds the name, Elise Juness Holgate in the sample, in a dark script. The dates sit below as placeholders, followed by a short life story paragraph in a classic serif. It feels peaceful and hopeful, like a spring morning.
A Card With Room for a Story
The card is 4.13 x 5.83 inches, A6. Unlike many memorial cards, it includes a real paragraph about where the person was born and felt at home, which makes it more personal.
The Sample Life Story
The sample says she was born to Gemma and Laiton Lenworth Holgate in Lewisham, London, felt that Newark on Trent was home and was connected to her roots in Trinidad and Tobago. Replace it with your grandparent’s own story, keeping it to four or five lines. The dates are placeholders.
Personalising the Grandparent Card
- Add the photo.
- Type the name.
- Set the dates.
- Write a short life story.
- Print on card.
Writing a Short Life Story
Mention where they were born, where they lived and what they loved, such as gardening or cooking for the family. Ask relatives to check facts.
Honouring Heritage and Roots
Many families value mentioning where a person came from, as the sample does with Trinidad and Tobago. A line about heritage honours the journey a grandparent made and the culture they passed on.
Printing the Soft Green Wash
The green and blue wash prints softly on matte card. Check that the white name pill stays clean and that the leaves keep their delicate outlines.
Cards Handed Out at the Service
Families often hand these cards to guests at the funeral or memorial as a keepsake. Print a few more than the expected number of guests.
A Version for a Grandfather
Change the photo and the story for a grandfather. The soft colours suit men and women alike.
Cards Kept in Family Albums
Grandchildren often keep these cards for years. A clear photo and a few lines of life story make them treasured family records.
Using the Grandparent Card
