Frequently Asked Questions

Are pop up cards suitable for kids?

Absolutely - animal, dinosaur and unicorn designs are perennial favorites, and the pop-up action itself delights children. Just keep them away from toddlers who might tear the delicate layers.

When should I order a pop up card before the occasion?

Order at least one to two weeks ahead to allow for shipping, and consider ordering two or three at once so you always have a standout card on hand for last-minute celebrations.

How far ahead should I order a pop up card?

For everyday occasions, one week is plenty. For milestones and holidays, order two to three weeks ahead - popular scenes sell out and custom options need production time.
