Sympathy Card Book

Create a memory book to remember your loved one

How It Works

1 - Place Order

After placing your order, we’ll send you an address to ship your cards to, along with a customisation questionnaire.

2 - Create Your Book

Once we receive your cards, we digitally capture each one and curate them into a beautifully designed layout for your book.

3 - Review & Approve

We will send you a proof for approval, and once approved, your book will be printed & sent to you with your original cards.

Pricing

Simple, transparent pricing. Pay in full or start with a deposit — you only pay for the items you send.

Losing a loved one is incredibly difficult, but celebrating their life through cherished memories can bring comfort. We can create a beautiful card book that honour those memories—bringing together not only cards, but also the order of service, photos, sympathy messages, flower cards, and other mementoes.

For the book cover, you’ll complete a customisation questionnaire where you can upload your own photos and choose whether to include text on the front, back, and spine. You may also add both images and text to the first and last pages for a more personalised touch.

You’re welcome to number the cards or items before sending them, so they appear in your preferred order. Alternatively, we can thoughtfully curate the layout for you.

If you’re looking for further customisation, just send us a message. We’re here to help and will do our best to create a book that truly reflects your loved one’s life and the memories you hold dear.

We love our card book
We love our card book! I had a few issues at my end with posting but Alex was very communicative throughout the whole process and the final result is perfect.

Beautiful Wedding Card Book
We found it easy to order exactly what we wanted, and the customer service during the design process was excellent. The book also arrived pretty quickly considering how personalised it is - and the quality of the book is brilliant. We are so pleased with it, and can’t wait to show our friends and family! Would 100% recommend Cards To Books - we’ll be telling anyone we know getting married to get one!

Highly recommend this for your cards
From start to finish, this company makes sure you know what to do, how to do it, timescales and involves you in all the choices you can make. You also get a chance to review the book before it goes to print. Alex supports you all the way. It’s the second time I’ve used this service. A lovely memory of all the people who gave me cards, the words they wrote, wrapped up in a practical book!

Fantastic Service
Beautiful book to cherish our special day forever. They were very kind with delivering a refund when we had slightly fewer cards than originally ordered. Took all our directions very carefully, alongside good suggestions. Wholeheartedly recommend!

Wow!
Wow! The book is amazing and the process was seamless. I actually delayed actioning this after the wedding as thought it may be a lot of back and forth but it was the opposite - so easy and straightforward. The book looks and feels great quality too. Thank you Alex & Abi!

Just what we wanted!
Alex created our wedding card book, I was quite reluctant to send all our wedding cards away for the book to be made but Alex communication throughout was incredible, the book arrived back better than we ever imagined.
