Questions?
Most of the answers to frequently asked questions can be found on our FAQ page. Here are a few additional questions specific to note card ordering.
Sure. We understand life gets busy after the baby is born so beginning the design process in advance is helpful. We'd lay out the initial set of layouts and go through one round of changes to get to a semi-final design. Then once the baby is born, you'd send us the details and we'll finalize the design.
Some of our designs can be customized to feature different images. View our customizing page to see the image options.
No, our printing presses can not print photographs so we can't do this.
