Honor and Service Memorial Prayer Card

He carried his service quietly — and the people who loved him felt it in everything he did.

Deep navy, gold, and the quiet weight of a folded flag — something small enough to hold, meaningful enough to keep.

A prayer card is a small thing, but for the family he left behind, it's something to hold onto.

An instant download, fully editable in free Canva, ready to personalize and print before the service. Something to hold close, long after the day is done.

✨ Printing Tips

• Paper stock: Use 80–110 lb white cardstock. Avoid standard copy paper — it will feel flimsy and colors may bleed through on double-sided prints.
• Scale setting: Set scale to 100% or Actual Size. Do not use “Fit to Page” — it will shrink your cards.
• Double-sided flip setting:
  • 4-Up Letter sheet (Pages 3–4): select Flip on Short Edge
  • 9-Up Tabloid sheet (Pages 5–6): select Flip on Long Edge
• Home printing: Inkjet printers work well with coated matte or semi-gloss cardstock at your printer's highest quality setting. Print a test page first.
• Print shop: Email your downloaded PDF to Staples, FedEx Office, or Office Depot and ask for double-sided printing on 80–110 lb cardstock.
• Cutting: Use a paper trimmer and cut along the corner crop marks for clean, perfectly sized 2.75" × 4.5" cards.
