About these 2nd Birthday Cards
Two is the age where the personality arrives all at once. They know their own name, they have firm opinions about which cup is the correct cup, and they will absolutely try to open the card themselves before anyone has finished singing. The designs here are bright and simple on purpose, because at two the picture matters far more than the wording.
Cards are printed on heavyweight cardstock in my studio in Mallow and come blank inside so you write the message yourself. The foil designs are pressed by hand with real foil, which catches the light in a way a toddler will notice immediately and try to peel.
A6 is the sensible size for a card that is going to be handled by small sticky hands. A5 is better if it is going on the mantelpiece and staying there. For the party itself there are kids birthday cupcake toppers and kids birthday favours, or browse 3rd birthday cards for next year.
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.
