Frequently Asked Questions

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 long does a pop up card last?

Decades, if kept dry and out of direct sunlight. The paper used in quality pop up cards is the same acid-free stock as fine art prints, which is why so many become keepsakes.

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.
