Don't worry if this listing says "only 1 left" - This listing stays available all the time and will be renewed immediately if sold. Postcards cannot be customized by the buyer via the Etsy website - the shop owner will make all customizations for you after purchase.

Electronic proofs are always sent prior to printing. Proofs will be sent via Etsy Conversation or email within 24-48 hours after purchase and providing the complete details/photo for review. I need written approval (in the form of response by email or Etsy) to move forward with printing. A valid email address should be associated with this order so that proofs can be received. If I am unable to reach you for proof approval - your order will be cancelled.

Please purchase the quantity you need through this listing by clicking the drop down menu for "Number of Printed Postcards" and selecting an option. Minimum order of postcards is 10. You do not need to request a custom order if you would like color or font changes - those changes can just be noted in the "notes to seller" of the order and will be accommodated upon creation of the proof.

You can submit your photograph(s) by the following methods:
- Send an Etsy Conversation regarding this listing and your order with the photos uploaded into the conversation.

Please write the following information in the personalization section or at the time of sending the photograph:
-Names of the couple

-Return Address for postcard
-Wedding website (optional)
-Accent color (optional): colors shown in listing are default, if a different color is desired, please request this at the time of ordering (CMYK or Pantone numbers may be provided but are not required)

Tips for submitting photos:
-You need to submit the ORIGINAL photos. It should not be a screen shot from a phone or download from social media (including Facebook and instragram).
-Do not crop the photo or apply a filter. I can make any cropping adjustments for you.
-If a photographer took the photo - please ensure it is the high resolution version intended for printing (and that you have all the proper releases). They shouldn't be "first look" images or ones intended for social media upload.
-As an example, most customer images are well over 1MB in size and can be up to 15MB in size - PLEASE CHECK THE SIZE/RESOLUTION OF YOUR PHOTO BEFORE SUBMITTING TO ENSURE YOU ARE NOT SENDING ONE THAT IS TOO SMALL.
You can submit the photos either here or by emailing it to:
LollieJ.StationeryDesign [!at] gmail.com

If you choose to email it, please make sure you upload the photo as an attachment and select the "original" size, if given an option. This works best from a desktop/laptop computer and not a mobile device.

POSTCARD DETAILS
Postcards are 4 x 6 inches in size and feature double-sided color printing. Physical samples are not available - all proofs are sent in electronic format. This shop is not able to "print 1" for you before printing the whole order.

THESE ARE PROFESSIONALLY PRINTED POSTCARDS!! Standard paper is a 120 lb card stock with matte card stock on one side and a glossy coating on the side opposite the address. If a glossy coating is not wanted, matte card stock on both sides must be specified prior to print approval (for no additional charge). The matte card stock option does not include any coating on either side and is the raw card stock finish on both sides.

ADDITIONAL IMPORTANT INFORMATION - PURCHASE OF POSTCARD MEANS ALL OF THE BELOW CONTENT IS READ AND UNDERSTOOD
Please see shop's full listing of policies for more information; abridged details are provided below.

Customer Photographs:
Many of the designs featured in LollieJ Wedding & Stationery Design shop allow for customization with a photograph provided by the customer. Etsy does not allow for any content to be "uploaded" into the listing directly so that you can see it through the Etsy website. This shop creates all proofs and sends them via Etsy Conversation or email.

The shop is not responsible for the quality of these customer-provided photographs or any editing to the photographs (other than enlargement, positioning, and cropping, as needed for the design). If the customer would like the photograph altered in any other way, they must expressly ask for this service (which may incur an additional fee depending on the time required) and the request may be denied. When reviewing electronic proofs, images may show up brighter or darker depending on the settings of the device used to review. It is recommended to review electronic proofs on a laptop or computer device for best color viewing. Refunds are not available for differences in colors between electronic proofs and the finished printed product.

For best results, the shop highly recommends considering the following in photograph selection:
(1) Choosing bright, high-resolution, well-lit photographs. Photographs which are taken at sunset, or in darker lighting conditions may not print well. Photographs taken on mobile devices or scans of printed photographs may not have high-enough resolution for printing. Any grainy, fuzzy, or otherwise unacceptable printing will not be refunded or replaced if it was due to customer-provided content.
(2) Choosing photographs with appropriate "negative space" for placing text (if applicable to the listing). Photographs with leaves, grass, trees, vegetation, "busy" clothing or other elements may make placement of legible text difficult. This shop may make suggestions for improvement of legibility or recommend removing the text entirely. These suggestions may differ from the example photographs shown in the listing.
(3) The printing process requires approximately 1/8 inch of the photograph to be cropped on all sides (when using a full size photograph). This is a requirement of the printer and is not avoidable or negotiable. Proofs are sent showing the approximate crop location, but actual finished product may differ. Please do not submit photographs with important features at the edge of photographs (such as facial features, signs, etc).
(4) Submission of high-resolution or "original" version of the photograph will yield the best results. Photographs that have been compressed for web-viewing and/or social media may not print adequately. Photographs that have been downloaded from social media, texted via a mobile device, or uploaded to an email at low file sizes may also not print adequately. Prior to submission, the client is encouraged to look at the file size of the intended photograph - versions that are 300 kb or less may not print adequately. Quality of the photograph is entirely the responsibility of the client. The shop owner may provide feedback on the photograph quality - but absence of feedback does not indicate the photograph will print cleanly. Clients are encouraged to contact the original photographer and obtain the highest resolution version of the file prior to purchase. Any grainy, fuzzy, or otherwise unacceptable printing will not be refunded or replaced if it was due to customer-provided content.

Please be aware that local United States Post Offices may apply stickers, ink, barcodes, or stamps to postcards. US Post Office equipment, processing, weather, and transit is completely outside the control of this shop and can vary greatly depending on the processing conducted at each local office. USPS machinery may cause damage to the postcards during processing and this is not the responsibility of the shop. Refunds will not be offered for any damage that is caused by USPS, weather, delivery, or transit. The only way to provide additional protection to the card would be to place the postcard in a separate envelope or select one of the shop's listings that include envelopes. This shop will gladly offer envelopes with any design upon request (for an additional fee), but it is upon the client to request this. Purchase of any postcard listing indicates that the buyer understands postcards may be damaged in the process of handling and replacement or refund of damaged cards is not available.
