ZuZu Designz

Place your order:

1. Browse through our galleries and select the design that you love the most. You may choose to receive a proof of 1 design for free. If you would like a proof for more than 1 design, a non-refundable fee of $10 per additional design choice will be invoiced. Fee/invoice must be paid prior to your placement on the proofing schedule. However, all designs include free customization (i.e. font & color changes, text/wording changes, photo layout, patterns/design changes, converting of your photos to black and white, sepia or hand tinting, cropping and adjusting of photos, touch-ups to baby acne, dry skin, eczema, or scratches). Birth announcements may also be customized for a different gender, multiples or adoption. Matching Thank You notes are available with every order for an additional fee. Thank you notes may be customized with different colors or for specific holidays.

2. Fill out your order form and check out via our shopping cart. Please make sure all important information is on there (name; stats; party information; paper type). No proofs will be sent to you until order form and payment are complete.

Send your photos to Zuzu Designz

3. Once you have placed your order, please send all photos to photos@zuzudesignz.com. We recommend that photos be at least 300 dpi or 1800x1200 pixels. Photos that are taken at a low resolution may look very good on your computer but will not have a good print quality. If you are scanning your photos, you first want to make sure that your scanner is completely clean of fingerprints and dust, as these will show up and affect the quality of your photos. Next, make sure that the scanner is set to at least 300dpi/resolution. Save all scanned files as .jpg documents. You will have 5 business days to send in your photos. If you send in your photos more than 5 business days after the time you filled out an order form, you will need to resubmit an order form as all order forms are only held for 5 business days after they are received.

Order Processing

4. All photos will be checked, as well as all of your information, to make sure we have everything we need for your proof. When we have all of the necessary information, we will e-mail you the date that you can expect your proof! If you are using professional photos, or if there are problems with your order (missing information; not enough photos; photos too small), we will get in contact with you as soon as possible to let you know what additional information is needed. Please note that orders containing professional photos cannot be placed onto our proofing schedule until we have the photographer's release “in hand.”

5. If all aspects of your order are together, you should recieve a proof within 48 hours or 2 business days of receiving your photos. Your proof will be e-mailed to the e-mail address provided. If you do not receive your proof within the timeframe given, please check your Spam/Bulk mail box first to see if your e-mail provider marked the e-mail as Spam.

Proofing & Editing

6. You may recieve three rounds of free edits and changes before your proof is sent to press. Zuzu Designz enjoys and welcomes any changes, and understands just how important your announcement or other product is to you.

7. We will place and crop all of your photos to fit your design and modify the design colors so they compliment your photos. We will make new graphics, patterns and try to accommodate any special requests you may have! We will then e-mail you your proof page for you to see! If you do not receive your edited proof within the posted time on our main page, please check your Spam/Bulk mail box first to see if your email provider marked the designers email as Spam.

Printing and shipping

8. After you have approved your proof and order, it is sent to print, received in our office to make sure it looks just how you approved it, then packaged and shipped via USPS priority mail! You should receive your prints in the mail within 7-10 days after you have approved your proof and order.
