    A sympathy card for a colleague

    When someone on the team has experienced a loss, a card from colleagues is one of the simplest, most genuine things you can put together. Free, quiet, and delivered privately whenever they're ready to see it.

    No credit card required · Ready in under 60 seconds

    How to put it together thoughtfully

    There's no perfect way to do this, but these three steps keep it simple and sincere

    1

    Choose a quiet design

    Pick a plain, understated template — this isn't the place for anything bold or playful.

    2

    Share the link quietly

    Send the signing link to the team without a public announcement. A short, factual message is enough.

    3

    Deliver it privately, in your own time

    There's no rush. When it's ready, send the finished card directly and privately, whenever they're ready to see it.

    You stay in control of what gets posted

    As the organiser, you can review and hide any message before the card is shared, so nothing lands that doesn't feel right for the moment.

    And when it's ready, delivery is a private link — sent directly and personally, not posted somewhere public.

    Frequently asked questions

    Is it really free?

    Yes — completely free. No per-card fee, no subscription, no payment screen at any point.

    Do signers need to create an account?

    No. Anyone with the signing link can add their message immediately — no account, no app download, no registration.

    Can I review messages before the card is delivered?

    Yes. You can hide any message that doesn't feel right before sharing the finished card, so you stay in control of the tone throughout.

    Can I deliver it privately rather than posting it somewhere public?

    Yes. The finished card is a private link you share directly with the person — nothing about it needs to be posted anywhere public.

    What happens to the card afterwards?

    The card and all its messages are automatically deleted 6 months after creation, so nothing lingers indefinitely.
