Plain Thanks

Plain Thanks is a postcard set for saying thank you to several people at once: wedding guests, birthday party helpers, the neighbours who fed the cat. It is a white, minimal design that lets the photos carry everything. Two of the four cards are full-bleed photos with no text, one is a photo with a short line underneath, thank you or a name, and one sits the photo inside a white frame.

Every back has the full postcard layout: a caption line, a message area on the left, and address lines and a stamp box on the right. A postcard thank-you is quicker to write than a card and arrives without an envelope, which is exactly why people actually send them. If you only need one design, set the project to two pages and the sheet prints four copies of the same card.

One sheet gives four postcards, picture side on side A and the message and address side on side B, so print double-sided and flip on the short edge. With fewer than four designs the sheet repeats them, which is handy for sending the same view to several people. Use 200 to 300 gsm card so it survives the post, print at 100%, then cut once across and once down the middle on the tick marks. The set uses 4 photos across 4 postcards.
