All of our designs are 100% custom and personalized for your special occasion. All of our designs can be customized for your special event. You can choose any of our designs or motifs for your big day! Our wording, colors and designs are shown as a starting point or they might be exactly what you are looking for! You will have a designer to help you at every step of the way - our treat!

PROOFS We will be providing a proof for you just to make sure we are on the same page. We ask that you really think about what you want for the first proof because we will tweak it one more time for free. We also want the proofing process going quick so your cups get into production quickly!  We usually start start working hard on your proof when you place your order. Depending on the date your item is needed, we will be super quick and have a proof to you usually in 24 hours up to 48 hours. If your date is quite a ways away, we may take a little more time!

When you receive your proof, please check it for any spelling or other things you may want to change. At this point we ask that you really tell us your final changes so we only have one final proof. We will not process your order into production until you have given final approval. 

We can't beg you enough to really really look at your proof. I've had people mispell their own children's names and never catch it. Remember, I have people do funny whacky things with cups and spellings every day. I don't know if your typo is because you a doing something fun or if it is a typo! Once you have approved your proof...we will print it exactly as approved so please make sure it is right. The monkey is on your back! LOL!

FREE SHIPPING We offer free shipping and no set up costs as a part of our service to make the process easier. __________________________________________________________ Free SHIPPING STYROFOAM CUP DETAILS-We print 12oz., 16 oz. and 20 oz cups. Print is on one side - approximately 2.75 inches tall x 2.75 inches wide.

PRINT IS ON ONE SIDE If you would like two sided print we would need to charge 75% more and we can talk about that. Most of our designs are always able to get everything on one side for you...two sides is rarely something we really need to do.
