About these Cards for Son
The right card for a son moves as fast as he does. Dinosaurs and diggers at four, football and gaming at ten, then a stretch where anything remotely sentimental gets left face down on the counter, and then eventually the years where he reads it properly. Sorting by age is the fastest route through.
Milestone birthdays get the foil treatment, the younger years go bright, and there is a solid run of funny ones for the ages in between where that is the only acceptable option.
Made to order in my studio in Mallow, County Cork, on heavyweight cardstock, blank inside so the message is yours. Real foil is pressed by hand rather than printed, so it catches the light. If the present is a match, a gig or a game rather than an object, the kids surprise keepsake cards reveal it. See also cards for daughter and cards for kids.
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?
