FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How do I send my picture to you?

For a digital photo or a scan of a photograph, you can e-mail it to us. PLEASE BE SURE THAT YOUR E-MAIL SAYS "SWEET 16" IN THE SUBJECT LINE. Due to the profusion of viruses on line, we cannot risk opening any attachments that aren't labelled clearly.

For the best print, please send an image with a 300 dpi resolution. .Eps files are best, but .jpg's will do.

For a photograph printed from film, you can send it to us via surface mail.

We will be glad to return your photo to you when we ship your order.

Can you make any suggestions about the photograph we send?

Please take a moment to look at the photo in the sample invitation. Notice that the apex of the heart will be over the girl's head. It's best if you send us an image in which we can see the girl's complete head and shoulders. If the top of the girl's head is close to the top of the image you're sending, it may present problems with the heart shape. However, it's possible that we can retouch the top of your image.

How will the image be printed?

The image is laser printed. All our printing is done with a professional quality laser printer.

Do you have to use the magenta color for borders and text? Can I change the color of the borders and text?

If you have a preference for color, please let us know when you place your order. We will be glad to change the color of border and/or font to coordinate with the colors in the image (background, or the girl's dress).

On what type of paper is the card printed?

We use a standard 12 point card stock, brilliant white with a glossy finish. It is the same weight and type of card stock that you'd see in any upscale greeting card retail store.

Can I see a sample?

We encourage you to request a sample before placing your order. To request a sample, please send along an e-mail with your surface mail address.
