When a colleague is ill, a card from the whole team shows they are not forgotten.
What works
- "We are thinking of you."
- "No need to reply. Rest."
- "The team is fine, take all the time you need."
- A light memory or a bit of gentle humour
What to avoid
- Questions about the illness or when they will be back
- "At least it is…" comparisons
- Work updates that create pressure
Timing
Send it early in the illness, when support matters most, and schedule it so it arrives on a quiet morning.
Frequently asked questions about the get well card
What does it cost to send a get well card digitally?
Starting is free: up to 7 people, one photo each, the free designs and a small watermark. For € 4.95 per card you get 20 people, two photos each, all designs, the slideshow and a PDF; for € 7.50 unlimited people and three photos. You pay once per card, never a subscription.
How long does it take to make the card?
About two minutes for the organiser. Everybody else opens the link, types a message and adds a photo.
Do the people who write need an account?
No. They open the link and write. Only the person who makes the card can choose to have an account.
When does the card arrive?
On the day and time you choose, by e-mail. The day before, the organiser gets a preview.
