About these 21st Birthday Cards
In Ireland the twenty first still carries more weight than it probably should, given eighteen already happened. It is the one with the family party and the friends night out on separate days, and the one where a key or a keepsake still turns up in half the cards. These designs cover both sides of it, the sentimental one from parents and the one from friends that cannot be shown to parents.
Printed on heavyweight cardstock in my studio in Mallow, blank inside, with real foil pressed by hand rather than printed gold ink. A5 is the usual pick for a twenty first because the card tends to get kept alongside the photos.
If the gift is a trip, a concert or a night away, the birthday keepsake cards reveal it properly. For a surprise hidden behind a scratch panel there are scratch reveal cards, and 30th birthday cards come round faster than anyone expects.
Your questions, answered
Everything you need to know before you personalise a card.
How does personalising work?
On the product page there's a box for the name, age or wording you want. Some designs add that text into the printed design itself, others leave the inside blank for you to write by hand. Each product page says which one it is.
Can I see a proof before it's printed?
For a straightforward name and date, I print without a separate proof. If your wording is longer or unusual, message me first and I'll confirm it before it goes to print.
What if I spot a typo after I've ordered?
Message me as soon as you can. If it hasn't gone to print yet I can fix it for free. Once it's printed and dispatched, a replacement is a paid reprint.
What foil colours do you offer?
Gold, silver, rose gold and holographic, plus gold holographic on some designs, I have over 30 foil color to choose from. Each product page shows which colours are available for that card.
Which size should I pick?
A6 is the standard card size and A5 is roughly double, better when the design carries a lot of wording or you want it to feel like a keepsake.
How long before it arrives?
- Made to order and dispatched within 2-4 working days, then standard An Post delivery within Ireland.
