Frequently Asked Questions

Will a pop up card fit in a standard envelope?

Most come with a matching custom envelope sized to the folded card, so mailing is as easy as a regular card. Oversized designs may need extra postage - see our guide on how to mail a pop up card for specifics.

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.
