• Choose 12 fonts max; pair a simple sans-serif with a friendly script if you like a decorative touch.
• If you include images, use 300 DPI for printing quality.
• Leave safe margins (0.250.5 inches) so nothing gets cut off when printing.
• Export as PDF/A or PDF Print if your tool offers a quality option.

• Laminating cards can make them durable and reusable with a dry-erase marker.
