About these Romantic Birthday Cards
A birthday card for a partner is a different thing to a Valentine's card. It has to mark the day and say something at the same time, without tipping into the kind of printed verse that makes people cringe reading it aloud. These designs keep the front warm and the inside empty, which is the only sensible arrangement.
The foil ones suit anniversaries of the relationship as much as birthdays, and rose gold is the finish most people land on.
Made to order in my studio in Mallow, County Cork, printed on heavyweight cardstock with a kraft or white envelope. Real foil is pressed by hand with heat, so it catches the light rather than sitting flat. Add a name to any design or leave it as photographed. Dispatch is 2 to 4 working days by An Post. If the gift is a night away, a meal or a spa day, the romantic gift keepsakes reveal it properly. See also cards for wife and cards for husband.
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.
