1. We understand you want an instant preview. We spend a great amount of time on each order to make it look their most beautiful. Simply put, we are not "other companies" that simply drop your photos in an online template and print as is. We enjoy providing personal service and designing your proof for you to review, before your order goes to print. We offer expert editing on all of your photos, color changes, font changes, verse changes, etc. Simply submit your photos and specific requests when placing your order and let us do all of the work!
2. We encourage all customers to email us their photos (along with the design they intend to order) before placing an order. We can review them, see if they meet our photo guidelines and/or they fit the design in question. *Please note, this is only for photo review purposes, not for a proof request prior to placing an order. You can email us your photos to support@lilsweetprince.com

We encourage sample packs, in order to have a visual prior to order placement. Please note, we cannot mail you samples of specific designs, our samples are intended to give a visual of each finish. Please make sure you are aware of the type of paper you would like your photos cards printed on, before making your purchase.
4. If choosing standard shipping, we recommend placing your order 3 weeks before your desired delivery date. This allows time for receiving your e-proof (2-3 business days), proof revision requests (which take up to 1-2 business days) printing, packaging and shipping. If standard shipping is selected, once you finalize your e-proof, your order will arrive in 5-7 business days.
If choosing expedited shipping, we recommend emailing us or contacting us via phone and ask about our current proof schedule. Please do not place your order prior to contacting us if you need a rush proof or delivery within one-two weeks.

9. You can upload your photos on the same page you fill out your order form/details. Photos are uploaded prior to check out, very easy!
10. No, please do not send us images from Facebook or other hosted sites. These sites reduce the size of your images, making them inadequate for printing. We require the original files from your camera, in order to produce the best possible photo cards. Please refer to our photo guidelines for further details, or contact us for further assistance.
11. A proof is a low resolution mock-up of your announcement/invitation that allows you to see your card digitally before it is printed. Look at it carefully. Are you pleased with the design? Is the spelling correct? Double- and triple check your proof! Remember, Lil Sweet Prince cannot be held responsible for mistakes once the card goes to print. Your order will only be processed after we receive final approval from you.
12. The cost of your order includes two revisions to your initial proof, within that design scheme. Please note, asking for two e-proofs at once will add an additional day to your proof time. For example, if you have chosen the "Alex" birth announcement design and would like two photos instead of one, or want to change the colors, we can do that at no cost, up to three color/text revisions and one picture change. Additional color/text and picture changes will incur a $10.00 fee, per photo/proof. If after you receive your proof you want to change to a completely new design, $20 will be added to your order to cover customization of a new proof.
13. Yes! We can customize the wording for different ages or occasions. For example, if you like one of our "first birthday" invitations but your child is turning three we can customize the wording for you, at no extra charge. If you would like to alter the entire design or change colors on graphics or backgrounds, or change the original fonts, there is a $10.00 fee.
Combining two different designs on one card, costs an extra $15.
14. You can view a proof from two different designs for a nominal fee of $12.00.
