About these Cards for Girlfriend
Cards for a girlfriend split fairly cleanly between the ones that are trying to be romantic and the ones that are trying to be funny while still being romantic. Both work, and which one lands depends entirely on how long you have been together. The filters help, but the honest advice is that the foil ones photograph better and the funny ones get kept longer.
Birthdays, anniversaries, Valentine's and the ones with no occasion at all are all covered.
Every card is made to order in my studio in Mallow, County Cork, printed on heavyweight cardstock and sent blank inside with an envelope, because a printed verse has never once said the thing you actually meant. Real foil is pressed by hand and rose gold is the most popular finish here. If the gift is a night away or a concert, the romantic gift keepsakes announce it. See also cards for her 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.
