Greeting Cards
Get Well Soon Card Templates
A get well card is read by someone with little energy for reading, which is the one design constraint that matters: short message, large enough type, nothing that needs deciphering. These four are built to that.
Soft Bloom and Sunlit are warm without being relentlessly cheerful, which is the tone most people actually want. Plain Wish and Calm Modern are quieter still, and suit a card from an office rather than a family.
Keep it light and short - recovery is tiring to talk about. Where the news is worse rather than temporary, a sympathy card is a different register entirely and the wording changes with it.

Common questions
What do you write in a get well card?
Take the pressure off. "No need to reply" and "everything here will keep" are worth more than instructions to rest, because they remove a small obligation rather than adding one.
What should you avoid writing?
Anything that asks a question, describes your own similar illness, or promises they will be fine - none of it is yours to say. Keep it short and warm.
Is a card from a whole office appropriate?
Yes, and it is often the most welcome kind. Sign it with everyone's names rather than the department, so it reads as people rather than an organisation.
