First of all, I am so touched by the very positive response to the Holiday Mini Sessions! I am down to just a handful of open spots left. I most likely will open up a few more weekday spots, so if that is an option for you let me know. I have received a few questions about the Holiday Cards and I thought it might be easier to post the answers here for everyone to read. If I have left anything out, please let me know and I’ll be happy to get back to you!
What size are the cards? Are there any in 4×8?
1 cards design is done as a 5×5 TriFold, the rest are 5×7. I am not offering any 4×8 cards. I think the larger cards showcase your photos so much better! It gives me a great deal more flexibility in working with your pictures.
Is extra postage needed?
The envelopes for the 5×7 cards are considered a standard size and do not require any additional postage. The 5×5 cards, on the other hand, require hand sorting. The current postage to mail a square envelope is .64 cents. You can verify the current rate on the USPS website http://postcalc.usps.gov/
How long will it take to get the Holiday cards and pictures back?
Turn around is fairly quick for the mini session pictures. It’s a good idea to view the Holiday card gallery before your session. At the time of your session you can look at actual card samples and pick out 2 designs that you like. From there, it will take me about 1 week to get your proof gallery online. The gallery will include your images from your session as well as proofs for your cards. Once you let me know which one you prefer I send it off to my print lab. They usually have the cards back to me in 5-7 days.
Can I add a favorite saying or verse to the cards? Do you allow any changes?
You can change the saying on any card if space allows. Design elements on the cards cannot be changed. For example, a Snowman cannot be changed to a Santa. However Merry Christmas can be changed to Holiday Blessings, Happy Hanukkah or Happy New Years!
What if I can’t decide on one design or need more than 25 cards?
The mini sessions come with 25 Flat Press Printed cards. Cards come in sets of 25, but you can order as many sets you’d like. Mix up a design or two, have some fun with them! Each additional set of 25 cards is $75.00. You also have the option of ordering Folded cards as well for an addition fee of $20.00. Folded cards give you the option of adding in more pictures and a longer message if you desire. Each additional set of Folded cards can be purchased for $95.00.
