About these Irish Cards
Lá Breithe Shona Duit, Nollaig Shona and Comhghairdeas, set properly with the fadas in the right places, which is the part that goes wrong nearly everywhere else. A good number of these are posted abroad, because sending a card as Gaeilge to someone in London or Boston does something an English card cannot. The rest are bought by Gaelscoil families and by people who want the card to sound like home.
Names are set with Irish spellings on request, so Seán gets his fada and Caoimhe is not quietly respelled to fit a template.
Printed on heavyweight cardstock in my studio in Mallow, County Cork, blank inside, with a kraft or white envelope. Real foil is pressed by hand with heat rather than printed as metallic ink. Dispatch is 2 to 4 working days by An Post, and longer again if the card is going overseas. See also Gaeilge prints, Irish prints and Christmas cards.

Irish Cards questions, answered
What size are the cards, and what do they cost?
Most designs come in two sizes. A6 at 10.5 by 14.8 cm, from 3.99 euro, and A5 at 14.8 by 21 cm, from 4.50 euro. A few designs are A6 only. The sizes and prices available are shown on each product page.
Can I add a name?
On personalised designs, yes. Type the name into the box on the product page and it is printed on the card. Premade designs are printed exactly as shown, with no name.
Is anything printed inside?
No. The inside is left blank so you can write your own message. Any personalisation is printed on the front of the card.
Does it come with an envelope?
Yes. Every card is sent with an envelope included in the price, kraft or white depending on the design.
Are the cards foiled or printed?
Both. Most designs are printed on 300gsm card with a smooth matte finish, and some are finished with real foil pressed by hand. A few are scratch-off. The finish is stated on each product page.
What if I spot a mistake in the details?
Message me straight away. If it has not gone to print yet I will fix it at no cost. Once it is printed and dispatched, a replacement is a paid reprint.
How long before it arrives?
Made to order and dispatched within 2 to 4 working days, then standard An Post delivery within Ireland.
