printing relationship on temple cards

It would be a great enhancement if when printing temple cards out, for it to print the relationship to the owner of the card. This would help those taking names to the temple to feel the connection to the name on the card. For example, if I was printing out a card for a 1st cousin 3 time removed, somewhere on the card could read 1x3, or 1st 3x. Or if it was a great great great aunt, it might read ggga. Or for a 3rd cousin once removed it could read 3x1 or 3rd 1x. I have had several people also mention this idea and would love to have this automatically printed on the card. I know for most that have reserved the name, their information prints on the card. And to have the relationship of the person who's work is being done be on the card somewhere, like I said would be a great enhancement to the temple experience and make the person come more alive for those who take the names to the temple.

    If the relationship were to be added to the card, it should be as an Option for the card owner.

    @Blair Henderson Thank you so much for your suggestion for an enhancement to the temple cards. Your idea has been forwarded to the proper Project Manager.

    @Jane Cantrell Brookman Thank you! I appreciate it. I have had so many others wish they could do this on their cards. So many are left to look each one up and write it in some form if they want it on the card.

    @Chas Howell I would agree and think it would be completely fine to at least have the option so if someone wanted it to be on their card they print, they could choose that option. So I would agree with you. It would just be nice to have that option.

    Wouldn’t the relationship only be true for the person printing the card? If I print and give a card to my child to do, it has the wrong relationship to the child on it. Could be confusing. If it was an option to print it, that would work better. If we don’t keep the cards anymore what difference does it make?

    @TeenaLoveland1, that's a good point, whose relationship should be given? If one person shares the card with the temple and another person gets that reservation from the temple and prints it. Would the relationship displayed, be of the person Reserving or of the person Printing? And yes the option to display the relationship on the card or not should be an option.

    Sometimes when I have grandchildren doing baptisms I have written the relationship of the person on the card to the ones doing the baptism but this only works if you have all grandchildren and not nieces and nephews. If you the card provider want the record for you it would be a nice temporary option as we don’t get the cards back anymore. Also, for the one doing the research, providing the cards, having the relationship on it would show us wife of cousin whose family are in-laws and not related for sealing to parents after endowments are done. Therefore that person is unreserved for sealing to parent? By the way, is this correct? We don’t seal wife to her non relative parents? We leave her for the in-law family to finish? Is this totally confusing? Sorry.
