Our tips for creating the best gazettes
A captivating cover for every gazette

Tip 1)
A captivating cover for every gazette

It is perfectly possible to personalise the cover of the gazette!
 
1 - A personalised name that you can use once or always!
"The Gazette for … Nana and Granddad, the Thomson Family, Nanas 90th Birthday”… Your account manager can personalise the name on the cover of the gazette until the eve of its publication, at 11.59pm Central European Time.
 
2 - Do you want each page of a gazette to be a surprise? When preparing for the publication, click on "Display" then disable the "Visible in mosaic" option to prevent your photo from being used as part of the mosaic. This option is enabled for each photo by default.
 
Our team's top advice: To avoid duplicates on the front cover, publish at least 14 photos using the "Visible in the mosaic" option.

Tip 2)
A gazette that truly represents you

Our experts are here to let you in on a few tips and tricks to make your gazette beautiful all around:

1 - Fill out your profile as extensively as possible with your first name, surname, date of birth, and a profile picture, which will be displayed alongside all your posts.

2 - The "Children" section of your profile allows you to add birthdays for family members who are not using the Famileo account (young children, partners, pets etc.). Birthdays within the next 12 weeks will appear on the back of the gazette.

Team up!

Tip 3)
Team up!

The more the merrier! Invite as many of your family members as you can to take part in sending messages via the personalised gazette for your loved one. Invite them by email or by text message, clicking on the "Invite participants" button, or by sending them your family code.

Your whole family? Our family kitty makes it easy for all registered members to take part in paying for the subscription. Go to the "kitty" tab to find out more.

Tip 4)
The clock is ticking... Don't be late!

Your gazettes are edited on Monday and you have until 11:59 pm on Sunday (CET) to post your messages. Don't panic, as we are nice we will send you a reminder 3 days before!

Your gazette is laid out on Monday, then printed and dispatched within 3 days.

The big envelope will arrive in the post in 3 or 4 days (delivery in France), and as for the cherry on top, the first gazette will come with a welcome letter explaining how it all works to your loved one.

Would you like a copy of the gazette too? Go to the "My gazettes" tab to download a pdf version.

Tick-tock, tick-tock, watch the clock!
Share your daily life as well as important events

Tip 5)
Share your daily life as well as important events

Your holidays, going back to school, a sunset, your recipes: post your photos and messages via the app or the website.

Try our cool features for a quick and easy gazette:

1 - You can change the date of your messages in the past to reorder them or construct a better timeline.

2 - Relive a trip or event with the photo montage option. 

3- Duplicate your messages: you can write and publish your messages to several Famileo accounts.

Tip 6)
Think big!

Breathtaking sunsets, family celebrations, your pet chasing its tail... Post it all as a full page! Ideal for sharing special moments with loved ones. Unlike half-page posts, the date is not displayed in the gazette.

1 full-page message = 2 half-page messages.

Do you have a particularly big or rather small family? Do you sometimes lack a little inspiration? Your account manager can configure the quota of full pages that works best for your family (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or unlimited).

  Our team's top advice:
To ensure a consistent, coherent gazette, and to avoid blank spaces, full page photos will not necessarily be posted in order. If you prefer to tell a story over several pages and posts, opt for the half-page option.

Think big
