Production Time:

The normal production time on this announcement is 3 business days after the order is finalized. Production time does not include shipping time, nor does it include the day your order is placed.
A variety of shipping options are offered in the checkout area.
If we need to contact you about your text, the production time does not begin until we have received a response from you.
We do offer a RUSH option an this announcement, which speeds up the production time. It saves you at least one day and costs $15.00.
See this page for detailed information about the production time and the RUSH option.

What's Included (Please read carefully):

Raised ink (thermography) is used to print your text. Thermography has been the standard for graduation announcements for many years; it has a distinctive look and feel.
Black ink is included in the listed price; you may select other ink colors for an additional charge of $5.95. We recommend black, berry or gold ink for this card.
The yearline and crest are available only in the style shown.
Use any of the lettering styles we offer. You have the option of using a larger font for the student or school name, or using "combination lettering" so that the name is in a different font. There is no charge to use a combination of two lettering styles.
You may use one of our suggested texts for the inside of the card, or write your own. This card has room for 16 lines of text, with 42 characters and spaces per line.
The main announcement text is in the center inside panel of the card, and the left panel is available for a Bible verse, mascot, or motto. However,the left panel is narrower than the center. There is room for 8 lines of text, but only 28 characters and spaces per line.
This design has slots to insert a name card. The name card slots are at the bottom of the left inside panel of the card.
The announcements are shipped flat and are scored for folding. This is a French-folded card, which means that the paper is folded in half along a score line, and then folded twice more toward the center to create the two panels. The card opens along the foil horizontal line. After folding, they measure 4.5" x 6". See this page for more information about folding.

Envelopes and Name Cards:

This announcement comes with bright white outer and inner envelopes. If you have questions about addressing the envelopes or wonder when you should mail your announcements, see our etiquette page.
Envelope printing is available for an additional charge and is offered at the bottom of the order form, just below the "add to cart" button for the announcements.
This card has slots to hold the name card. Name cards are a separate product. They are offered at the bottom of the order form, and in this section of our site.

Order Form for Deluxe Announcement #10: White Tri-fold with Maroon & Gold Foil

Please give the following information, exactly as you want it to appear: (For accuracy, we copy and paste from this information, so please be precise and do not use all capital letters!)

Letter Style:

Choose the letter style for your announcement text and enter the 3-letter code here. For instructions about using more than one lettering style, see this page.

Maximum number of Characters = 8 * required field

Font Size for Student Name:
You may elect to have us use a larger font size for the student's name. This looks nicest when the name is in the top half of the text, or in the center. (If you have selected a combination lettering style from the section above, the student's name will automatically be made larger.)

Would you like to have us use a larger font size for the student's name?

* required field

Year:
The right edge of the front panel is printed with the year. It is printed in the style shown on the sample. Please let us know which graduation year should be printed.

* required field

Ink Color:
Select the ink color. The color you choose will be used for the yearline along the right side of the card, and for all of the printing inside. We recommend black, berry or gold ink for this item.

* required field

Optional Proof:
We can e-mail you a black and white .pdf proof after your announcement is typeset, however, it will add three days to the time it takes to fill your order. The proof takes two to three days, and then once we have your approval, the normal time for printing requires another 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."

Do you want us to send a .pdf proof for your approval before printing?

* required field

Optional Mascot, Verse or Motto:
Would you like to add a mascot or an area of text (Bible verse or motto) to the inside left panel? The charge to add the optional area of printing to this panel is $8.00. If using a Bible verse or motto shown on our site, you may just give our title for that text (for example, "Motto #191" or "Isaiah 40 NIV"). If using your own verse, you must type the entire verse below exactly as you want it to appear. If you are using a Bible verse, we will put the verse in quotation marks, and the reference will be placed on a separate line under the verse, set off to the right side.

* required field

Maximum number of Characters = 28

Main Announcement Text:
For help with the wording, you may copy and paste from our page of text suggestions. This design has room for 16 lines, and 42 characters and spaces per line.

Your text will be centered on the announcement, and the lines will be spread out so that they fill the space on the card appropriately.

If you would like to have a blank line within the text (such as before the parent's names at the bottom), write "skipped line" on the line that is to be left blank.
If your text has fewer lines than the number of text boxes provided, put an "X" in the extra boxes at the bottom that you don't need.

Maximum number of Characters = 42 * required field

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 you would like corner copy, you must PROVIDE the text for the corner copy on the last line above. Selecting corner copy means you have one less line available for the text. (Tip: Remember, an Open House, by definition, should not require an R.s.v.p.)

Do you want the last line of your text above to be used as corner copy? (Adds $4.50)

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.
Removing zip code from the address information -- zip code is not normally included.
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 your permission to make minor changes to the text?
