Frequently Asked Questions

Do 3D pop up cards cost more than regular cards?

Yes, typically $12-$39 versus $3-$8 for a flat card, because each one is cut, folded and assembled by hand in multiple layers. In return you get a keepsake most people display for months - or years - instead of tossing it after opening.

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.

One card, zero risk of being forgotten.
