What to include in a kids thank you card

A good thank-you card names who it is for and what they are being thanked for, so the message feels personal. Add the child's name, a short and warm sentence or two, and the date if it marks an occasion. A photo or a small drawing makes the card feel handmade and gives it a place of pride on the fridge.

How to customize an imported Publisher template

The card opens as a faithful copy of the original Publisher artwork, kept locked so the design and spacing stay just right. You can customize on top by adding your own text box for the message, dropping in a photo, or placing a fun shape or sticker. To change the printed words that came with the card, turn on Make text editable, adjust the copy, and then export a clean PDF.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need Microsoft Publisher installed?+

No. The card opens right in your browser, so there is nothing to download. If you have an existing .pub file, you can open that here as well.

Can my child help personalize the card?+

Yes. Add a text box for their message and let them choose a photo or color, then you handle the final export to PDF.

Can I change the words that are already printed on the card?+

Yes. The card imports as a faithful copy of the original design that you customize on top, and Make text editable lets you rewrite the existing greeting.

What size does the card print at?+

Export a clean PDF and print at the card's set size; fold it as a standard folded card or print flat as a flat note.

Can I add a photo of the child?+

Yes. Place an image box on the layout, drop in the photo, and resize it to fit the space.

Is this affiliated with Microsoft?+

No. Publish Media Software is independent and not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Microsoft Corporation. 'Microsoft Publisher' is a trademark of Microsoft Corporation.

Is this only for Microsoft Publisher files?+

Publisher comes first: open your .pub files, start from a print-ready Publisher-style template, or create a brand-new document — all in your browser. As a bonus, you can also open Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and image files and fully edit them online when you need to.

Can I open a Word, PowerPoint, or PDF file too?+

Yes. Alongside Publisher .pub files you can open Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and PDF files (and PNG/JPG/WebP images) as an editable starting point, then edit them in your browser and export a clean PDF. Publisher is our focus; these are a convenience for the other files you already have.

Can I export a clean PDF?+

Yes. Every document exports to a clean, print-ready PDF — included on the free plan. You can keep editing online and return to your project anytime.
