What to change first
- The five photographs. Select each and choose Replace; keep them portrait, or the 4:5 crop takes the middle.
- The captions.
- The tile: the three lines, and the two links (they point at placeholder anchors).
The signature moment
The thank-you is one tile of the gallery, the same size as the photographs
A six-cell grid of 4:5 frames with one-line captions, where the second cell is an inverted tile of the same proportion holding a short thank-you note (heading "We are still smiling"), three lines and two links: to the full album and to a shared album for guests' own photographs. The tile is a plain-colour cover at a 4:5 aspect ratio with its own caption beneath, so it lines up with the frames beside it.

Design rationaleComposition, intent and nearest alternatives
Overview
A gallery for after the event, where the thank-you is part of the hang: one cell of the grid holds the words instead of a photograph, at a photograph's size. It sits in the gallery section beside quote-gallery (the type is the centrepiece and the photographs bracket it), half-and-half (one frame against four) and frame-sextet (a numbered hang).

Make it yoursVariations and the edits to make first
What to change first
- The five photographs. Select each and choose Replace; keep them portrait, or the 4:5 crop takes the middle.
- The captions.
- The tile: the three lines, and the two links (they point at placeholder anchors). The first goes to the photographer's gallery, the second to a shared album guests can upload to.
Theme behaviourInheritance, fixed decisions and contrast
What it inherits from your theme
- Typeface. The base states no font family.
- Palette. Your

What it decides for itself
- The grid. 20rem minimum columns and no column count: three across from about 1100px, two on a tablet, one on a phone. The tile is second in the order, so no width leaves a hole: rows of three (photo, tile, photo), pairs of two, or a single column with the note second.
- The captions. 14px, under 30 characters.

The Vow look
Part of the Vow Pattern Set, a couple's whole wedding website in one design language: wisteria white ground #f7f5fb, a wisteria band #ebe6f3, card white #ffffff and a midnight slab #1f2240; midnight ink, dusk #555a78 for secondary copy, peony #a8365a labels on light grounds and pale peony #f2b8c9 on the slab, wisteria hairlines #d9d3e6. Headings and names are Didot at 400 (Bodoni MT, Hoefler Text, Baskerville, Times New Roman, serif), body, labels and buttons Gill Sans (Seravek, Trebuchet MS, sans-serif). Cards and buttons are square; the primary button is a filled midnight rectangle, the secondary an underlined peony link. Every text pair is measured on the ground it is painted on. Take the base for your theme's colours, or the look's Use my theme chip.
Notes
- Core blocks only: group, cover, heading, paragraph, image, buttons, button. No plugin, nothing to keep updated.

The copied markup includes WordPress Photo Directory example photographs. The public image URLs keep the examples visible after pasting. Select an image and choose Replace to use your own Media Library files. See image credits for the sources and licenses. Pasting an image URL does not import a Media Library attachment.
Questions
Gallery thank-you tile: common questions
Does Gallery thank-you tile need a plugin?
No. It is built only from core WordPress blocks (button, buttons, cover, group, heading, image and paragraph), so it pastes into the block editor with nothing to install.
Will Gallery thank-you tile match my theme?
Choose by variation. Thank-you tile takes your theme’s palette; Vow brings its own colours.
How many variations does Gallery thank-you tile have?
2: Thank-you tile and Vow. Each is its own markup; choose one in the toolbar above the preview before you copy.
Can I use my own images?
Yes. Sample images stay in the copied blocks. Replace them in WordPress; pasting does not upload them to your Media Library.
Is Gallery thank-you tile free?
It is included with a subscription, with every Core Pattern and variation. 62 Core Patterns are free to copy without one.
The markup
Core block markup and nothing else. Copy it, then paste it straight into the block editor: WordPress reads the delimiters and rebuilds the blocks.
