Why Different is Good

What makes us unique here at Pictures Made Personal?

For one thing, unlike other sites where you just get to plug your photo and info into a pre-made template, we're willing to customize your project as much as you'd like to make it really reflective of you and your occasion. We also touch up those photos you send us so they're the best possible quality.

But the biggest difference is in the format of the product you receive. Everywhere else, you'd receive flat printed copies of your photos, invitations, or announcements for a certain cost per print. Here at Pictures Made Personal, we know that you might have other uses for your finished product too. So, while you won't actually receive any prints from us, you'll get the .jpg file we designed just for you, and the limited copyright for it too, meaning that you can do anything with it you like except resell it. That means you can email it to family and friends, post it on Facebook, MySpace, blogs, or other websites, use it in memory books or scrapbooks, have it put on mugs or t-shirts or anything else you could do with a digital photo. And, of course, you can have it printed to send out those invitations or announcements by mail.

We did a little math to make sure you were getting a good deal, and here's what we discovered. We researched several graphic design websites offering photo announcements and invitations, and chose a random number, 30 announcements. The lowest price we could find was $1.69 per card, which came to a total of $50.70 before shipping and handling. When you order an announcement, invitation, or card from us, you'll be paying between $25-35 for the design, depending on the amount of customization you'd like. And if you want them printed, you have the option of doing it yourself at very little cost or using a photo processing center. We found several that only charge $0.09 per card, which would come to just $2.70 for 30 prints. So your total cost would be between $27.70 - 37.70, not to mention that you also own the file forever and can print out as many more copies as you like or use it digitally anywhere you'd like to share it with family and friends. Different is good!
