Our Process

What is your process?

The Get You Cards service is a 4 Step process.

Step 1 (Custom Design & Personalization Process):

Our creative team will apply your picture, specifications, and personalized message to your custom designed card after your order information and payment has been received. Allow up to 1 week for the initial design process.

Step 2 (Proof & Approval Process):

When the design process is complete, Get You Cards will then send a proof link to the email provided in the "Contact Information" section when the order was placed. After clicking on the link to review your proof, verify that all information, grammar, and spelling is exactly how you wish it to be displayed on the final front and back/inside sections of your card. Click the "I Love It, Get My You Cards!" only when everything looks correct and you are ready to proceed. Please note that during this step, Get You Cards will not print your order until final approval has been received from you. If any changes need to be made, this is the time to make those requests. We reserve up to one week for the approval process.

Step 3 (Printing):

Once Get You Cards has received final approval confirmation, we will print your custom designed cards.

Step 4 (Shipping):

You are now only two weeks away from receiving your custom designed card.

Orders are typically delivered within 2 to 4 weeks from the date ordered. However, the approval stage could extend the overall time frame for your order if approval is not received.

Custom Design & Personalization

Will my custom designed card look exactly like the examples you provide?

One of our favorite things about Get You Cards is that each card is created with you in mind. This means no two cards are alike. Fonts, colors, picture position, cropping, etc. are all part of the custom designed process. However, if you have a specific request, simply mention it in the "Comments" section on the Order Page.

How can I proof read the front or back/inside of my custom designed cards?

You can proof read the information under the "Front Message" and "Back/Inside Message" sections of the Order Page before clicking "Next." You will also receive a link to review your proof within a week of ordering. After receiving a proof link, you will be able to verify that all information, grammar, and spelling is exactly how you wish it to be displayed on the final front and back/inside sections of your card.

Proofing

Can I see a proof of my cards before they are printed?

Yes. See "Step 2" of "What is your process?" under the "Our Process" section above.

Personalized Messages, Fonts, & Font Colors

Can I write my own personalized message?

Yes, we provide up to 3 lines on the front, and an additional 10 lines on the back/inside for your personalized message.

Do I have to fill in each line on the "Order Page?"

No. You may leave the front of your card blank if you wish. However, Line 1 is required for the back/inside of your custom designed card.

Can I select from different fonts or font colors?

Below are recommendations for picture demensions based on the packages we offer. Images do not need to be sized exactly.

The maximum file size is 20 megabytes.

How long will my picture take to upload?

Upload times are almost completely determined by your internet speed. For a standard high speed internet connection, files should upload with 1-3 minutes.

Can I use a scanned image for my cards?

You may use a scanned image as long as it falls within the proper image size for the package you are ordering. Most scanned pictures will need to be scanned at a minimum of 600dpi.

What will the orientation of my uploaded picture be?

We typically use the submitted picture's original orientation. However, if you wish to use an opposite orientation, simply mention it in the "Comments" section on the Order Page. If selecting an orientation opposite of the picture's original orientation, be sure that the smallest side of the picture is equal to or greater than the largest side of the specs. (Example: A 1600 x 2600 pixel image in a portrait orientation could only fit the mini package specifications which are 1575 x 1238 pixels in wide orientation.)
