✨ Printing Tips

• Cover: Print on coated matte paper or cardstock — 200 gsm (heavy cardstock) recommended for a durable, professional finish. Use your printer's highest quality setting.
• Interior: Standard copy paper works well for interior sections. If your design includes a faded photo on interior pages, use coated matte paper at your printer's highest quality setting for best results.
• Print double-sided (duplex printing) for a clean, booklet-style finish.
• White border note: Standard home and print shop printers are not full-bleed printers — your guest book will print with a small white border around the edges. This is normal and expected. Simply trim the edges after printing for a clean, finished look.
• Local print shops like FedEx, Staples, and The UPS Store can print your guest book and will ensure professional color accuracy on the cover.

✨ Why Families Love This Guest Book

• The watercolor eucalyptus and calla lily design feels timeless — beautiful enough to keep long after the service
• The gold oval portrait frame gives the cover a refined, heirloom quality that honors the person with quiet dignity
• The original poem An Inheritance from the companion program coordinates beautifully — a cohesive tribute set from cover to cover
• The cover automatically matches the companion Golden Grace Funeral Program — no extra design work needed for a polished, coordinated tribute
• Far more comprehensive than a standard sign-in book — every section your family needs, all in one place

Are there any extra charges after purchase?
No charges from us. Canva is free to use with this template. If you choose to add Canva Pro elements, those fees are charged directly by Canva. Printing costs are separate and paid to your print shop.

Can I remove sections I don't need?
Yes — every section is fully editable and deletable in Canva. Simply delete anything that doesn't apply to your loved one.

Can I add more sign-in sections?
Yes — simply duplicate any section in Canva to add as many copies as you need. There is no maximum.

Can I add my own photos and text?
Yes — the photo placeholder and all text are fully editable. You can swap in any photo that holds meaning for your family.

Can I change the colors and fonts?
Yes — colors and fonts can be adjusted in Canva to match your preferences. The floral background, gold frame, and botanical overlays are locked to preserve the cohesive look of the design.

Will the colors look exactly like the preview?
Colors may vary depending on your monitor settings and printer. We recommend printing a test section first and adjusting your printer settings as needed. For the most accurate color results, use a professional print shop.

Can I edit this on my phone?
Yes — Canva works on mobile. For best results, we recommend a desktop or tablet for editing.

How difficult is it to edit?
If you can type and upload a photo, you can do this. Canva is designed for non-designers — just click, type, and replace.

How long until I receive the template?
Instantly. You'll receive your Canva template link immediately after purchase via email.

How long does it take to edit?
Most families complete editing in 15–30 minutes.

Is this a single-use license?
Yes — this template is licensed for single use per memorial service. Each new service requires a new purchase.

What size does it print?
8.5" x 11" — standard letter size, easy to print at home or at any print shop.

Will my printed guest book have a white border?
Yes — standard home and office printers are not full-bleed printers, so a small white border will appear around the edges. This is completely normal. Simply trim the edges after printing for a clean, finished look.

Where can I print this?
You can print at home — use standard copy paper for interior sections and coated matte or cardstock for the cover. Print double-sided for a clean booklet finish. For professional results, FedEx, Staples, and most local print shops can print from your downloaded file.
