I make it by hand

About these Cards for Boyfriend
Early on, the card is doing more work than it looks like it is doing. Too sentimental too soon reads badly, too jokey and it reads like you did not think about it at all. The designs here sit mostly in between, which is why the blank inside matters more than anything printed on the front.
Birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's and the no occasion ones are all covered, with filters for style and finish.
Made to order in Mallow, County Cork, on heavyweight cardstock with a kraft or white envelope. The foil designs use real foil pressed by hand rather than printed metallic ink, which is worth the difference when the card is going to be propped on a shelf for a fortnight. If the gift is a gig, a match or a weekend, the romantic gift keepsakes announce it properly. See also cards for him and romantic birthday cards.
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.
