FAQ: Customizing Holiday Ornaments with Personal Messages

Quick answer

You can personalize Lucky Horse Press ornaments by submitting your desired text through our online customization form. Keep messages under 30 characters for optimal readability, and choose a font that contrasts well with the ornament’s color. Orders ship within 7‑10 business days after approval.

Personalizing a holiday ornament makes a memorable gift or keepsake that reflects the recipient’s name, year, or a short sentiment.

Below you’ll find concise answers to the most frequent questions about ornament text, design constraints, ordering, and care.

How do I add a personal message to an ornament?

Visit the product page for the ornament you want and click the “Add Text” option. Enter your message, preview the placement, and confirm the character limit (usually 30 characters). Once you’re satisfied, add the item to your cart and proceed to checkout.

• Use plain‑text only—no emojis or special symbols.
• Capital letters improve legibility on smaller ornaments.

What design limitations should I be aware of?

Because ornaments are small, intricate fonts or long sentences can become hard to read. Stick to simple, bold typefaces and keep spacing even. If you need a longer note, consider a matching card instead.

• Maximum height for text: 0.4 inches on a 3.5‑inch ornament.
• Contrast: Dark text on light backgrounds works best.

How long does the customization process take?

After you place the order, our team reviews the artwork within 1‑2 business days. Once approved, the ornament is printed and shipped in 7‑10 business days. If revisions are needed, the timeline may extend by a few days.

Can I order a bulk set of personalized ornaments?

Yes. For orders of 12 or more, contact Lucky Horse Press for a bulk‑pricing quote and a dedicated file submission portal. Bulk orders follow the same design rules but may allow a slightly larger character count per piece.
