Before you approve
Read the finished design slowly. A short pause before approval is easier than correcting a personalised product after print.
Check the spelling against the source you trust rather than relying on memory.
Compare years and full dates with a trusted record, especially for memorial wording.
Confirm apostrophes, ampersands, full stops and the exact capital letters you want.
Confirm the order and relative size of multiple pets as well as every name.
Check the wording, placement, product details and full price on the same proof.
The words are part of the design
Terry places the approved name, message or dates with the portrait and chosen product. You check the complete arrangement, spelling, punctuation and full price before deciding.

Wording questions
