3a.Announcement text:
This design has room for 13 lines, and 38 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 can use a larger font for the student's name if a line is skipped before and after that line. To do this, write "skipped line" on the line before and after the name, and we will automatically set the student name in a larger font size.

It does NOT look right to leave a skipped line before and after the student name if there are any other skipped lines in the text. In other words, if you plan to do this, you should include the parent's names in the first line rather than placing them after a skipped line at the bottom.

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.)

3b. 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!

4. 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.

 

 

 

Yes, the last line is corner copy, adds $4.50

 

 

5. Optional Return Address on Envelope

Your return address may be printed on the back flap of the outer envelope.

There is a minimum of 30 for printed envelopes.
Letter style will match announcements.
Maximum three lines.
You may use just the two lines of the address, or the name and the address. (Using just the address is more formal.)
If using a name, it is proper to use the name of the person or persons who are making the announcement.
Please spell out any abbreviations.  For example, use the word "Street" instead of "St." and write out the name of the state instead of using the two-letter postal code.
