Note: Before ordering, please be sure that you have read and understood the information about this announcement
from the previous page so that you know what is included.

This card is shipped flat and must be folded.

1.Year-Line Style:
See this page for the choices; there are three different vertical 2009 year-lines to choose from. Select one. It will be printed in the flat gold ink.

 


The sample is shown with year-line E09.

2.Crest or Mascot:
This Deluxe Announcement allows you to choose the design for the front of the card. There are 4 crests and about 50 mascots: see this page Write the number of your selection here. (Example: "crest 10" or "M-611"). If you do not want any design printed on the front, you must write NONE.

 


The sample above is shown with crest #3

3.Ink Color:
This card will come with flat gold ink. You do not need to make a selection.

 

4. Lettering Style:
Choose the style from this page  and enter the three-letter code.  For instructions about using more than one lettering style, see this page

5. Optional Proof:
We can e-mail you a black and white .pdf proof after your announcement is typeset, however, it will add at least three days to the time it takes to fill your order. The proof takes three days, and then once we have your approval, the printing requires another two to three days. The proof is simply a way to view the final layout of the text in the letterstyle you've chosen. This is normally NOT necessary unless you are unsure about the lettering style or details of the layout. We "proofread" your text (and let you know if we have questions) regardless of whether or not you elect to view a final typeset "proof."

 

Would you like to have a proof e-mailed to you for an additional charge of $7.95?


  Yes, send a proof and add $7.95. I realize that this will delay my order by at least 3 days.

  No, do not send a proof

7a.Announcement text:
You have selected a vertical design, which has room for 16 lines, and 42 characters and spaces per line. For help with the text, see our page of verse suggestions

To help expedite your order, see our proofreading guide.

 

More info about the text:

Skipped lines:
If you would like to leave a blank line between two sections of your text, you must write "skipped line" in that space. We strongly suggest that you not use more than one skipped line within your text. A single skipped line is enough to separate sections of text. If your verse is short, don't add extra skipped lines; we will increase the spacing between lines so it looks good on the page.

Corner Copy:
Corner copy is a line of smaller text set off to the lower left corner of the announcements. Use corner copy if you need a line that reads "Reception following" or "R.s.v.p. by...." Corner copy adds $4.50 to the cost. If you wish to use corner copy, use the last line at left to write your corner copy, and then check the box in the next section below that says "Optional corner copy." Corner copy should not be more than 25 characters. (Notice that if you use corner copy, there will be one less line available for the rest of the text.)

7b. Do you want the student's name to be typeset in a larger size?
You may elect to have us use larger print for the student's name. This looks nicest when the student's name is in the top half or in the center of the verse. (If you've selected a combination lettering style in section #3 above, the student's name will automatically be made larger.)

7c. Changes to the text:

After working with thousands of customer's announcement texts, we have definite opinions about what looks best. Our customers accept 98% of our suggested changes, and we've never heard from anyone who wished they had not accepted our suggestions. To expedite your order, do we have your permission to make MINOR changes to the text without contacting you? Minor changes include:

  • Punctuation that does not change the meaning (punctuation is not normally used at the end of lines)
  • Capitalization to coincide with accepted use on social announcements
  • Moving a word from one line to another to improve the appearance or reading of the text.
  • Writing out abbreviated words -- "Street" instead of "St.," or "Tennessee" instead of TN.
  • Adding periods between the letters of acronyms for legibility if a script style lettering is chosen.

We will never change the spelling of names or places, we do not attempt to verify any addresses you've provided, and we will not rewrite your text. If we have suggestions beyond the minor ones listed above, we will contact you, so it is very important to give us accurate contact information when you go through the shopping cart, and then check your e-mail and voice mail. If we have questions about your text, we'll let you know, normally in the evening of the day you order.

Do we have permission to make changes to your text without contacting you?

Any special instructions? Use this box to point out unusual spellings, to let us know of any special characters, or to give any special instructions. Keep in mind, though, that if you use this box to ask a question, your order will be delayed while we contact you!

8. Optional Corner Copy:

Corner copy is a line of type set off to the left in a smaller type size. It is normally used to say "Reception following" or "R.s.v.p. by____"

If the last line in the text above is meant to be printed as corner copy, you must check the box to the right. Corner copy adds $4.50 to the cost of the order.

10. Optional Return Address on Back of Outer Envelope

FREE! Choose one of our new designs for the envelope when you order return address printing. See this page for more information. If using a design, the address is printed on one line beneath the design and there is no room for a name on the envelope.

If using a design, only the address is used (no name) and the state is abbreviated.
If NOT using a design you may also include a name if desired, although it is more formal to use just the address.
This announcement comes with bright white outer and inner envelopes. If selected, the return address is on the back flap of the outer envelope.

12. Optional RUSH on Announcements
(Production Time)

Orders that are placed** between midnight and 5 p.m. on any day of the week will go to press the following business day. A normal order would then be shipped two business days later -- 3 business days after you placed it. Adding a RUSH to the order costs $15.00 and means that it is shipped the next business day after it goes to press. It saves you one day in the production time.

See this page for more information about the RUSH option on announcement orders.

If, because of a delay on our part, your RUSH order does not go out on time, we may expedite the shipping at our expense to make up the lost time. If we fail to do so, contact us, and we will give a refund for the $15 rush cost.

(**Orders are not considered placed until they are paid for.)

 

 

RUSH service -- Adds $15.00

If you check this box, you are also agreeing to:

  • Give us accurate and complete contact information (the shopping cart asks for an e-mail address and phone number)
  • Check your e-mail and voice-mail regularly after placing the order.

If we e-mail or call you because we have a question on your order and we get no response by 9:00 a.m. Central time the following day, the order will not go out on time.

We will not refund the RUSH fee if there is a delay caused by non-response from you.
