I have been a tiny prints customer for years. I learned about this fabulous company in 2007 and promptly ordered my holiday cards from them. I received tons of compliments on our photo cards, and ended up starting a trend amongst my friends and family. Many sent tiny prints cards the following season.
Meanwhile, I didn't stop at holiday cards. I ordered personalized stationery for myself and for my boys. This past summer I ordered my business cards from tiny prints.
And today I got to take a tour of the tiny prints corporate office. It was quite a thrill to see where the magic happens, to learn more about the company's culture, and to receive samples of some of their hot new products for this year, such as the ornament card or the flip card. (There are many unique premium cards, as well as some beautiful budget-conscious options.)
I enjoyed seeing the people behind the company, and it was definitely funny to hand them a business card that they had made!
So what makes tiny prints unique?
Well, I love that they are a green-certified business, and I adore their fabulous designs. But the real selling point of this family-oriented business is the personal touch. Etiquette experts are on hand to help with the proper form for things like wedding invites. Graphic designers make sure everything fits together properly. In my case, the family name is hyphenated, so sometimes presents a design challenge, but not when a member of the tiny prints staff can tweak the design to accommodate the name. The tiny prints designers know when a photograph isn't optimum for the card and will either contact a customer to offer suggestions or will do their own post-processing to insure a fabulous result.
I've had the pleasure of having a tiny prints designer phone me to double-check on my wording and spelling. It is definitely reassuring to know that someone else is reviewing my order before it goes to print and making appropriate corrections - but checking with me first to make sure those changes make sense! I definitely appreciate being able to customize my card, but knowing that it has passed someone else's inspection is a big deal.
I've been thrilled with the quality of the finished product. Although tiny prints offers a mailing service where they will mail your cards or invitations for you, I love being able to see what my friends and family members will receive. The paper quality is terrific, as are the colors. The designers make sure the photos look amazing, too. Hey! We look like models!
Of course I will be ordering my holiday cards again this year from tiny prints. I know our cards will turn out perfect.The only unknown is which design?

Disclaimer: I was treated to a tour and lunch at tiny prints. I was also given some personalized stationery. I've been a fan forever, so this was a great opportunity to spend some time with a company that I already knew I love!
