Our tips for creating the best gazettes

Tip 1)
Show your best side

Fully complete your profile as best you can: Name, surname, date of birth but most importantly, your profile picture with your best smile that will be highlighted in our gazette, on the cover and in your messages.

The "Children" function on your profile will allow you to add other family members that do not have a Famileo account (young children, partners, etc.).

Team up!

Tip 2)
Team up!

The more the merrier.

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

Tip 3)
The clock is ticking... Don't be late!

Your gazettes are published on Mondays, and contain all of the messages posted by your family. They are then printed by the establishment and distributed by them to your loved one.

The deadline for posting messages varies according to each establishment's choice of publication date and frequency. You can find the publication date for your next gazette in the dark blue banner at the top of the family wall.

You will always have until the day before the publication date - Sunday at 10:59pm - to post your messages. Whether your gazette is published every two weeks or every month, you will always receive a reminder notification 3 days beforehand.

Share your daily life as well as important events

Tip 4)
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 5)
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? Your loved one's care home can choose to personalise the quota of full pages (0, 1, 2, 3, or 4).
 
  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.

Did you know? There is a "large print" gazette designed specifically for your visually-impaired loved ones. The full page option is not available for this type of gazette, as it offers a single message per page with a larger font size.
