1. Once you find a design that you like you will add that design to your cart (button is located on the right side of the design detail page). There you will enter in the text you would like to have printed along with any alterations, i.e., fonts, colors, etc.

3. You will receive an e-proof within 24 hours of receiving your photos and text information. You will email a response in one of two ways:
a. All information is correct and the design is approved
OR
b. A list of changes and/or typos to be corrected, requesting another proof
4. Upon receiving an emailed approval, Bayberry Announcements will immediately send your announcement/invitation to print.

Due to popularity and professional recommendations, our announcements and invitations measure 4x6. Upon request we can supply 5x7's at $2.00 each and they include white envelopes.
Bayberry Announcements are printed on high-quality, semi-gloss (not high gloss) Fuji Crystal Archive paper. Providing better colors and richer detail, Fuji Crystal Archive paper is longer-lasting, thicker, and overall a better quality.
Yes. Upon receiving your order and photos we will mock up a proof for you to look at. You will then respond in one of two ways, 1. that the design and information is correct and approved for print or 2. the changes you would like to see, therefore requesting another proof. It is mandatory that you send an email approving the design and content of the announcement or invitation before it is sent to print.
Please note that within 18 hours you will receive an e-proof for your review and approval. We do not offer instant online previewing, instead you will have a personal relationship with the same designer throughout your entire process.
We are able to accept all major credit cards through PayPal (which also allows for payment by e-check via your checking account, however please be prepared to wait a few additional days for the check to clear on our end. We cannot send an order to print until payment has cleared.)
Keep in mind that you do not need an account with Paypal to make your credit card payment. Once your order goes to the PayPal screen to finalize payment, the order details will not all show up; but we assure you that your order confirmation from us will contain all details of your order. PayPal's payment page simply cannot display all details.
If we receive your complete information and images immediately and you approve the proof within 24 hours of receiving it, the entire process should take between 7-10 business days. If you need to rush your order there will be a flat charge of $20.00 to accommodate the shipping difference and expedited printing.
An ecard, is an enviornmentally friendly alternative to the traditional paper announcement or invitation.
