Order notes are most useful when they explain what the photo cannot show clearly. The goal is not to write a long essay; it is to point out the details that would disappoint you if they were missed.

Short Answer
Good order notes call out the few details that matter most: outfit, pose, pet markings, accessories, cake use, event timing, or anything the photo does not show clearly.
What to Include in the Notes
Keep the notes specific. Mention what must be preserved, what can be simplified, and any deadline or display context that affects the order.
- Customers can add customization notes before ordering.
- One clear photo can start the order.
- Preview review happens before production.
Photo Details to Clarify
Useful notes usually mention the details that are easy to miss: a favorite outfit, pet collar, hairstyle, glasses, pose, cake display plan, or the part of the photo that matters most emotionally.
Timing and Preview
Most custom figurine orders take about 3-5 weeks total. If the gift is for a fixed birthday, wedding, memorial date, or holiday, mention the date in the notes and order with buffer.
PrinYou sends a preview before production so shoppers can check the most important details before the keepsake is made.

What should I put in the notes?
Mention the details that matter most, especially anything the photo does not show clearly.
