Here is a list of our most Frequently Asked Questions.
If you can't find what you are looking for, or if you still
have questions, please feel free to Contact Us!

How do I place an order?

Choose a Design you would like to order. Click on one of the
"Place An Order" links located on the page. You can find a link
at the top of the page, at the bottom of the page, or on the
left-hand side of the page. These links will take you to the order
form on our website. Enter all information on the Order Form and
click the Submit button. The order will be emailed to us. We will
contact you via email as soon as we recieve the order to confirm
the details with you. We will then begin working on your samples.

Is there a miminum quantity I must order?

No! All products are printed in our office, so there is no
minimum quantity required for your order. You can order
the exact number you need! If you need 5 - then order 5. If
you need 23 - then order 23!

What if I realize I did not order enough when I receive my
order? Can I order more? Will they look exactly the same?

We archive all orders! So, yes you can reorder your product
should you realize you need more! Just let us know when
placing your order that you previously ordered the same
product, and you are simply wanting more of the same
product printed. You can order the exact number you need -
even if you only need 1 more! Since we use the same materials
for the printing of all products, and since we save an archive
of your original order design - the reordered product will
look exactly the same as your original order!

I don't see a design that fits my specific needs - can you
custom design something for me? Does this cost extra?

Yes! We are a company that specializes in custom design!
You can order from one of our premade designs - or you can
request a design be made especially for you! Just Contact Us
and let us know what you need. We will work with you to create
the perfect product for your special occasion! If you just wish
to change the colors or fonts of an existing design - there will
be no extra charge for this. If you wish to create a "Custom
from Scratch" design - we can do this as well. This "Custom
from Scratch" design service does require a nominal fee. It is
$20.00 and compensates for the time spent creating the design.

What is "CUSTOM FROM SCRATCH"?

"Custom from scratch" designs are new designs you ask us to
create from a blank slate. If you would like something completely
different from the designs you see on this site, we can most
definitely do this for you! Just email us the information about what
type of design you are wanting, and we will create three
or four samples to fit your specifications. You can then make any
changes you wish to the designs. We will continue to tweak them
for you until they are exactly what you have in mind.

Since "Custom from Scratch" designs take a bit more time to create
than the designs we already have in our database, we must
charge a small fee to compensate for our time. This fee is $20.00,
and will be added to the total order amount.

What if I just want to change a font or color on an existing
design? Is this considered "Custom From Scratch"?

If you see a design you like on our site, but you wish to only
change the color or the font - there is no extra fee for this. We
consider this part of your personalization of the card. Any of the
existing designs on our site can be personalized to make it your
own. So if you find a design that you really like and want to
change it to your favorite color or use a different font - that is just
fine! Let us know what you would like and we will make this change
for you. This is NOT considered a "Custom From Scratch" design.
So there will be no fee applied. If you have any other
questions concering this, please feel free to Contact Us.

What if I see a design that I like and want to use it for a different
purpose - for instance, I really like a holiday card design but I
want to tweak it and use it as a birth announcement design.
Can I do this? Is this considered a "Custom From Scratch" design?

Yes, you can most definitely do this! No, there will not be an additional
fee charged for this. All of the existing designs on our site can be
tweaked for any occasion. So if you find an invitation design that
you really like and want to change it into a birth announcement
design - we can do that for you. No problem at all! Just let us know
what design you like and how you wish to change it. We will then
create the samples for you and email this to you. And this is NOT
considered a "Custom From Scratch" design. So there will be
no additional fee applied to your order. If you have any other
questions concering this, please feel free to Contact Us.

When will I receive a sample?

We will contact you with confirmation of your order as soon as
we receive the order request. Our company is located in the
Eastern Standard Time zone, so any order received after 5 pm EST
will be confirmed the next business day. We will then begin
working on your samples. We will email your samples to you
within 24 to 72 hours after confirmation. At this time, you
can make any changes you wish to make to the design of the
product - colors, fonts, design elements....ANYTHING. These are
YOUR cards and we want you to personalize them anyway you
wish to make them exactly what you envision! Once you have
approved the sample - we will begin printing your order.

Can I receive a printed sample?

Yes! We do offer a printed proof of your samples before we print
the final order. If you wish to have a printed sample, just let us
know! There is no extra charge for this sample. We will mail it to
you via U.S. First Class mail. We will not print your order until you
approve this final, printed proof sample. Once you receive the
printed sample, you CAN still make any changes you wish.
Once you approve the printed sample - we will begin printing
your order. It takes 48 hours to print your order. If you live in
the metro Atlanta area - I will arrange to meet you for delivery.
Otherwise, your order will be shipped using U.S. Priority Mail.
Please allow 2 to 3 business days for shipping.

How long should it take to process my order - from the
moment I place the order until the moment I
receive the shipment?

Time varies from order to order. Most orders take 7 to 10 days
from the time you place your order until the time you expect to
receive it. "Custom from Scratch" do take a little longer due
to the time spent creating the design .

Orders CAN be processed faster should you need them rushed.

During busy seasons, such as the Christmas holidays,
order processing will take at least 14 to 17 days!!!!

I need my order fast! Can I put a RUSH on my order?

Yes! You can! Just let us know when you place your order that
you need it quickly. Give us a date that you need it - and we
will contact you to discuss how quickly we can process it for you.
All products are created and printed in our office, so we can even
do same-day turn around for some orders. We are MORE than
happy to help you in anyway we can - so do not hesitate to ask!

What is a Two Sided Announcement/Invitation?

A Two-Sided Birth Announcement/Invitation is exactly what it
sounds like - it is printed on both sides! The design of the announcement
will be carried over to the back. It will have full color printing on
both sides. You can do whatever you wish with the back
side of the announcement - add more photos, text - anything!
ALL Designs can be a two sided design!!!

Can I add a photo to my product even if the sample design
does not have a photo on it?

Yes! You can! Just let us know which design you would like
to order, and tell us you would like to add a photo! We will
rework the design to fit your photo! The price of the product
does not change whether you use a photo or not!

What if I want to add multiple photos - but the design only
shows one photo? Can I add more?

Yes! You can! Just tell us how many photos you would like
to add to the design you choose. You can even tell us your
preference of how you would like them arranged! We will
then rework the design to fit your photos! The price
of the product does not change - no matter how
many photos you add to it!

Where do I send the photos I would like to add?

You can email the photos to us at the following address:
cara@leavethelightoncreations.com

Please do not resize or crop your pictures. Email the photo
to us, and we will retouch, resize and crop the photo as necessary.
The higher the resolution of the photo, the better it will print.
Resizing the photo can reduce the resolution and print quality.
It is best to email your photo in a jpg file format.

Do you accept professional photos?

Yes! But we will need a signed copyright release form from
your photographer. Printing your photos without the form
is against the law!

How long should it take for my order to be shipped?

We use U.S. Priority Mail for the shipping of all of our products.
It should take 2 to 3 business days for your product to arrive
once we have shipped it. Should you like to have it shipped
faster, we can certainly arrange that for you. Just let us know
you want it shipped faster, and we will tell you what the
cost will be before we ship it. We WILL get your
approval for that increased shipping cost before we
use the faster shipping method.
