As a busy family, we appreciate the need to keep things simple,
prompt & stress-free.  This page is used to explain the design process
and answer common questions.  If you do not find the answer to your question here, please e-mail us.  Our business hours are Monday-Friday, 9am-6pm.  Orders and questions submitted over the weekend will be answered as time permits, no later than Monday morning.  We are also closed on major holidays to celebrate with family.

All cards and announcements can be customized to fit your style, taste, and photos.  The examples are here to provide ideas and inspiration, not to force you into a cookie-cutter design.  If you don’t see a design you like just send us an email, we can make anything you can imagine!

The colors, fonts, wording, photo styles, and layout can all be changed, providing you with the perfect design for your special event (e.g. you may see the John Deere theme that looks more for a boy and you just might have a girl who would love that in pink).  They can also be adjusted for a different number of photos, events (i.e. you may want to use part of a birth announcement design for a holiday card & multiple births).  Designs are labeled by names, so when you place your order, please be sure to note your design preference by name if you have one (or two, or three).

Place your design order after you have chosen a design, place your order through the form, making sure to send your photos in a separate e-mail. Once we receive your photos, we will start work on your order. Please do not resize your pictures, the original size is necessary for good quality. While you can use any picture to which you have rights, for best results the photos need to be sent to me in their original format. We can review your photos for quality before you order, simply e-mail them to me with a note indicating photo review.If you have traditional printed photos which you would prefer to use, you may either scan them in at a high resolution (300 dpi or better is generally recommended) or send them to me via postal mail (We will scan them for you and return them with your completed order). Use of any professional photo requires a signed release from the photographer or photographing agent (i.e. Sears, Picture People) and they will have the form that you need. E-mail releases will NOT be accepted.

A confirmation of your order and of the successful receipt of your photos will be sent within a few hours (during business hours) – you will also receive a time to expect your first proof in this confirmation (generally within 24 hours). Prompt order processing and proofing is a high priority, we strive to keep all responses under 24 hours & most requests are answered within a few hours.

Your free proof will be e-mailed to you within one business day of successful photo & order form receipt. Please look it over for corrections or changes. This proof is a low resolution sample of your announcement, is the property of Print Me Perfect and is not suitable for printing or sharing in any form. This is just an example of how the final product will appear, allowing you to ensure that all your information is correct and that the design is right for you. You may not copy the design or print it without purchase. After the proof is approved and the final announcement is printed, we are not liable for any errors in typography or design that were in the approved final proof.

After your final proof is approved & your payment is completed, it will be sent for printing.  This usually takes 2-4 business days depending on your paper choice, then 2 business days for shipping.  After returning from the printer, they will be shipped to you via USPS priority mail (barring any printing errors or extenuating circumstances).  Ordering earlier is always better, but rush service and shipping options are available upon request.  Thank you for choosing Print Me Perfect for your special events.
