you get exactly what you want because we start with a blank card

When looking for invitations that are the most flexible, with the best ability to make changes, you must consider Poly Graphics.

Because when you order from Poly Graphics you get a rare and major advantage:

We start with a blank card.

What does this mean to you?

It means that
All graphics,
All colors,
All wording,
and all the sizes
and placement
of each of these
can be changed.

All you have to do is give us your instructions.

If you like how the sample of the design you’ve picked looks, except, for example, you want the second line red instead of black – just tell us. We’ll change it and you will see that change in the sample we create for you.

That is just one small example of what you can change.

Starting with a blank card gives you another advantage…

We are never out of stock!

All you have to do is direct us – tell us what you’d like and where – and one of our designers will work with you until you are happy.

And the process is very fast – Your first draft will be ready within one weekday.

We’ll send you an email when your order is ready to review, you visit our website where we’ve created a page just for you, and there you get to review and comment on what your designer has done.

If your sample is not what you expected, or if you change your mind about something , just tell us.

The designer that is working with you will be immediately notified and will prepare another sample,

Want another change after you see the second sample?

OK.

Your designer will create samples for you until you are happy

When you say “approved” is when we start printing.

When we print it will be exactly as you see on your sample

And we will print as soon as we can – usually the same day or the next weekday

Since we have professional designers at Poly Graphics, you can also request an entirely new design

If you don’t see what you are looking for in the many thousands of cards on PolyGraphics.com, ask us to create something new for you.

A Million Invitations Worth of Experience

Rolex Race Car goes too fast, ends up off track

We normally like to get your invitations to you as soon as we can.

Here is a story about when invitations were printed too fast.

Do you like to wait? When I’ve ordered something I don’t like to wait around until I get it. I guess that makes me impatient. We get so many things almost instantly today that everyone’s attention span seems to be getting shorter.

Since we know that people don’t like to wait, when Poly Graphics receives your order for invitations we work on them as fast as we can.

On October 10th  Karen ordered from us. Her party wasn’t that far away, so we quickly created a draft for her and sent her an email asking for her approval.

October 11th, we heard no response from Karen.

October 12th, nothing. We started getting concerned that Karen didn’t get our email, so we called her, left a message, and asked her to review her draft.

October 13th – nothing. We tried another email and did not hear back.

Karen’s party was just a few days away, so we proofread and printed the invitations according to Karen’s instructions and sent them to her. We thought they could still get there in time for Karen to send them to her guests and allow enough time to gather RSVPs and plan all the party details.

October 16th – Karen’s cards arrive and she called us – a little angry that we didn’t get approval before printing. She wanted to change the wording and was waiting until she could confirm everything.

Yes, we did ship Karen’s invitations without her approval. But we waited 3 days and didn’t hear anything back from Karen. We did our best with the information that we had and got Karen’s invitations to her as quick as we could – but they were too early!

Karen thought that we would wait for her approval before we shipped her invitations, since the Poly Graphics web site says:

“we wait for your response about the drafts we have prepared. If we don’t hear from you within a few days, we contact you and remind you to review your draft”

but it also says:

“If we don’t hear from you within a few days of making the draft available, we will try to contact you by phone and email. If we still don’t hear from you, we will ship it without approval.”

We sent them too fast – but we’d rather error on the side of being too fast and getting the invitations to Karen early than to wait and wait for her approval and for her to get them too late.

I guess Karen didn’t agree. We ended up making the changes that Karen asked for and shipping her another set of invitations. Karen got a head start on her invitations because she we able to address the envelopes we had already sent her.

So the story had a happy ending.

Thanks for reading,

P.P.S. Communication is key. If you want us to wait, please let us know. Our normal process is “get those invitations out as soon as we can!”

Ask Us To Design An Invitation For You – An Example

Invitations from Poly Graphics are not for everyone. If you want to see immediately what your invitation will look like, after spending your time to place your wording exactly where you want it, where you are the designer of the card, don’t order from us. We’re more than a printer.

When you order from Poly Graphics here is what will happen: a designer will be assigned to you, they will take your wording and your instructions and craft it onto the card that you have chosen. This will happen within 24 hours*. It’s not immediate. Normal, non-Rush orders usually ship within 3 weekdays. You can speed this up by ordering with our Rush Option.

With Rush we will design, seek your approval, re-design until you are happy, print, proofread and ship your order the same day or next day! That makes Poly Graphics home of the fastest personalized invitations in the world!

Yes, the drafting and online approval process does take some time, but you are the director at Poly Graphics – not the designer. Would you rather direct or design?

we start with a blank card and add only what you want

You also have many more options when you order from Poly Graphics.

Tell us what color you would like for your wording AND for all graphics.

Tell us what size you want the graphics, that your child will be 6, or that you are moving to Smithfield. We’ll put 6 candles on the cupcake for your invitation, or we will highlight Smithfield on the map of your moving announcement.

Send us a photo to include on your card and we’ll design it in.

We think that starting with a blank card and adding exactly what you want, how you want it, is a great advantage for you to enjoy the perfect invitations.

If you have the time, patience, and the gumption… go to another site where you can be the designer.

If you don’t have the time and want the easy, fast, flexible way – where you direct us, then order from Poly Graphics.

Bob's signature

P.S. Yes, it’s true, Invitations ordered from Poly Graphics with the Rush Option are, indeedthe fastest personalized invitations in the world!

P.P.S. Could personalized invitations shipped the same day you order them be any faster?

*24 hour turnaround is guaranteed for non-holiday weekdays. Weekend turnaround is not guaranteed and we don’t work on Sundays and holidays. We want to make you happy, but we value our family time. It’s very important to me that you know that Poly Graphics can do everything that we say we can do. So I want you to understand what 24 hour turnaround and same day Rush processing means. If you have questions about this please call 866-345-7659 (USA only)

Here’s an example of a Special Request Announcement Crafted by Poly Graphics

A few weeks ago we received a special request from Carmen for a graduation announcement. She wanted to include 3 photos. A young photo of her son, a photo of him as he is today, and a graduation cap. Carmen wanted a folded card that had her son’s young photo on the front, then his graduation photo and graduation announcement wording inside. We said “Yes”. This was definitely something that we could do for Carmen.

A few days later Janet, one of our designers, crafted what you see here. The announcements turned out great! These photos don’t do it justice – it really looks nice in person. (we blurred the wording intentionally in the inside photo)

Graduation Announcement with child and graduate photos

Carmen saw the draft that Janet prepared and was very happy. When Carmen received the announcements, she was overjoyed. Carmen got more than she expected!

inside of a photo graduation announcement

Carmen’s announcement special request was completed – from asking to delivery-  in 2 weeks time. Her unique announcements were limited to exactly how many she wanted – truly personalized printing. We kept one to use as a sample because it turned out so great.

For most special requests we ask for a week to prepare the design. With busy days at Poly Graphics and our children’s schedules we can usually find time in a week for special requests, but not in our normal 24 hour turnaround.

We do not charge extra for special requests if the design is something that we can add to the invitation collection at PolyGraphics.com. We did have to charge a design fee when we had a request for an Ultimate Frisbee + Wine Tasting Wedding Shower. If your event is something that other people may want to buy from our website, and not as unique as the frisbee + wine tasting celebration there will be no design charge.

Note that our availability for Special Requests is limited, so please give us plenty of lead time. If we have several special requests already underway, yours may be delayed because we just cannot fit everything into the time we have. Please understand that we want to do our best work for you and to craft the perfect announcement for you takes time.

If you have a Special Request, ask here

P.S. Thank you for the opportunity to prepare something special for your celebration

P.P.S. When you order from Poly Graphics you are getting personalized, limited edition cards, that are crafted to your specifications.

Questions and Answers About Graduation Announcements

Add Color Envelopes To Make Your Invitations Stand Out

May 24

Last time I wrote about 11 Great Questions to Ask When Shopping for Graduation Announcements.

This time, I’ll give you answers to these questions.

1. I want to show my graduate’s talents – Can I get FULL personalization? – with both school name and graduate’s name and maybe more (show my student’s talents, etc)

Yes, you can at PolyGraphics.com. Pick a graduation announcement that you like. Then tell us what sport your graduate likes, what their name is (even their nickname), their favorite food or hobby, and we’ll totally personalize their announcement. Just tell us how and what you’d like us to add in the Special Instructions of the order form.

2. Can I get an exact match of my school colors?

We can match *any* color. We’ll even make it brown if that’s what you want.

3. I don’t have much time – How long will this take? (to place the order)

Ordering from Poly Graphics takes about 10 minutes. The hardest part is the wording, but we have plenty of examples for you to use. You do not have to be a designer, or spend time moving stuff around and resizing it to make it look good. Your order will be assigned to a designer and they will do that work for you. Tell us what you want and how you want it to look and we’ll work with you at your online preview page until you are happy.

4. Can I have photos of the graduate on my announcement?

Yes. Send us your photos and we will work them into the design that you like. If you have an idea about how to use your photos on your announcement and don’t see anything like that at PolyGraphics.com, we will create something for you.

5. I need them yesterday – When will I get my announcements?

If you order from Poly Graphics, you will get them very quickly. Most orders ship within 3 days of when you order. A draft is created for you within 24 hours (weekdays), then we ship As Soon As Possible after your approval — but you can get them even quicker than that! Request Rush processing and your order will ship the same or next weekday!

6. Can I review (and change) my order before it is printed?

Yes! With Poly Graphics you will get an email when your draft is ready to review. you will visit your online draft and review page to see what your announcement will look like when it is printed. If something is wrong, or you change your mind about wording or graphics, your designer will work with you until you are happy. We won’t print until you say “approved

7. How flexible can I be with wording? Am I trapped into what they want to say for me? – What if I don’t like that?

We will print just about anything on your announcement. Formal, informal, whatever. There are many examples of wording on our website, or ask us and we’ll help you. Remember Who, What, When, and Where when working on your wording.

8. Does someone proofread my wording? And look for stuff that I left off? And look for any mistakes that I made?

Yes. Several people review your wording for correctness in grammar and punctuation. If we have a question about how something sounds or if it is said correctly, we look it up – then we consult with you. We want you to be completely happy with your announcements, so we will let you have the final say.

9. Can I order exactly the number of announcements that I need?

Yes, as long as you want 12 or more. We’ll print 14 for you or 1400. Or any number in between.

10. My graduate will get gifts – Can I order matching Thank You Notes?

Yes. Your graduate’s thank you notes can match their announcements or be totally different. Your choice.  We’ll work with you to create something that you are happy with.

11. I can’t find what I want – can I get something specially designed for me?

Yes!  If you can’t find what you want at PolyGraphics.com, tell us what you are looking for and we will work with you to create something that will work for you. Designing a new announcement can take a week or more, so please be patient. If your design is something that we can add to our collection online, there is no extra charge.

Do you have any more questions about Graduation Announcements?

I’d be happy to help you.
