How do I know what size cup to order?

When in doubt about cup size, always order up! Ounce size is indicative of "flush fill capacity", or total amount of liquid volume held. In other words, ounce size is measured when the cup is filled to the brim with liquid, NOT including ice. Stated ounces are intended to show approximate volume and are not an implied guarantee of exact volume.

The following are just a few suggestions regarding cup sizes:

• A 12 oz soft drink over ice fits nicely in a 16, 20 or 24 oz cup, depending on how much ice you prefer.
• Wine works best in one of our smaller size cups (9 - 14 oz).
• A 12 oz beer works best in a 16 oz cup.
• A 16 oz cup is the most versatile size if you intend to serve mixed drinks, wine and beer and only want to order one size cup.

May I use more than one ink color?

FOR QUANTITIES LESS THAN 50,000: You may choose a different ink color on side 1 than on side 2, but we cannot print two ink colors on the same side. This is available on personalized cups and huggers only. In other words, side 1 can be red and side 2 can be blue, but you cannot use both red and blue on each side. There is an increase in the cup or hugger price when you print two ink colors. (See applicable price lists for details). We cannot print two ink colors on coasters, napkins/guest towels or plates.

FOR QUANTITIES OF 50,000 OR MORE: We can print multiple colors on the same side. Please email us at info@limelightpaper.com for details and price quotes.

May I use an ink color not shown on your ink chart?

We can print any Pantone Matching System (PMS) ink color on our personalized cups and huggers. This service is not available on our napkins. You may specify the PMS color in the space provided when placing your order. If you need to match the ink on cups and napkins, do not choose a special PMS color, as napkins do not use PMS color ink.

May I change or cancel my order after it has been placed?

Changes or cancellations will not be accepted after an order is placed. All orders are final and will be printed and shipped exactly as ordered. Before finalizing your order, we highly recommend proofing all personalization details carefully, as well as double-checking your shipping and billing addresses. If additional product is needed after placing your order, you will need to place an additional, separate order.

Changes or Cancellations Due to Extenuating Circumstances: If a change or cancellation is approved due to extenuating circumstances, a $10 change fee will be incurred. Any request for a change or cancellation should be emailed to orders@limelightpaper.com. (We do not accept changes by telephone.) You will be notified by email if your requested change or cancellation was approved. At that time the $10 change fee will be charged to the credit card used for your order.

May I get a proof of my order before it is printed?

You may request a printer's proof when you place your order at a cost of $15. A professional typesetter will typeset your text in the final and exact layout requested in your order. While your layout request will be followed as closely as possible, sometimes adjustments are necessary. Multiple changes may incur additional fees. As soon as the proof is available from the typesetter, we will email a black and white copy of your order to you. Typically, proofs are sent to you approximately 2 business days after your order has been placed, but may take longer during the holiday season. Upon final approval of your proof, normal print processing times can be expected. If, after reviewing your proof, you decide to cancel your order, you may do so at that time.

    What if FedEx says my order was delivered but it hasn’t been received?

    In our experience, 99% of the time FedEx can prove delivery. Therefore, we suggest checking with neighbors, behind bushes, at alternate doors that are seldom used at the location of the shipping address, etc., before any other action is taken.

    In order to be considered lost, a package must be undelivered for 24 hours AFTER the expected delivery date and time. We cannot report the package as undelivered or lost until then. If the order is not located within 24 hours, we will file a claim with FedEx, who will conduct a package search that may take up to 10 days. If FedEx is unable to locate the missing package, the claim will be approved and we will reprint the order and ship it immediately. If FedEx locates the package, the claim will not be approved and the order will be delivered.

    NOTE: If we reprint and reship an order prior to the 24-hour reporting period and/or prior to the package search period and the original order is subsequently located by FedEx and delivered, the cost of the reprinted order will be the responsibility of the customer.

    How should initials read when using a monogram?

    When choosing a monogram style where all of the initials in the monogram are the same size (for example, cup/napkin monograms M-29 and M-30), initials appear in the following order:

    • For an unmarried female or unmarried or married male - first name initial, middle name initial, last name initial
      Mary Elizabeth Ford = MEF
    • For a married female - first name initial, maiden name initial, last name initial
      Mary Ford Jones = MFJ

    When choosing a monogram style with a larger center initial (for example, cup/napkin monograms M-25, M-26, M-37, M-38, M-39 and M-40), or a larger last name initial (cup/napkin monograms M-27, M-28) initials appear in the following order:

    • For an unmarried female or unmarried or married male: first name initial, middle name initial, last name initial
      Mary Elizabeth Ford = MFE
    • For a married female: first name initial, married name initial, maiden name initial
      Mary Ford Jones = MJF
    • For a monogram using combined initials of a female and male (out of courtesy, the female’s first name initial typically comes first): female’s first name initial, common LAST name initial, male’s first name initial
      Mary and Charles Jones = MJC

    What is the best way to personalize a product for a couple?

    What is the best way to personalize a product for a couple? When titles are used for a married couple, the husband’s title always comes first:

    Mr. and Mrs. Charles Jones
    Judge and Mrs. Charles Jones
    Doctor and Mrs. Charles Jones

    When titles are not used (married or unmarried), out of courtesy, the female’s name is listed first regardless of whether a last name is included or not:

    Mary and Charles Jones
    Elizabeth and Edward

    When using a monogram style that includes a last name initial and first names (for example, cup/napkin monograms M-31, M-32, M-34, M-35), or simply two first names (for example, cup/napkin monogram M-33), out of courtesy, the female’s name typically comes first:

    Mary J Charles
    mary & charles
    M & C

    What is the best way to personalize a product for a family?

    The simple way is to simply list the family’s surname with NO apostrophe:

    The Jones Family
    The Joneses

    When individual family member’s names are listed, the father’s name should come first, then the wife’s name, followed by the children’s names which are typically listed according to age with the oldest being first:

    Charles, Mary, Clarence, Millicent and May (using “and”)
    Charles, Mary, Clarence, Millicent & May (using "&")

    When the parents are listed first on a separate line (top line), out of courtesy, the wife’s name comes first followed by either “and” or an ampersand (&) and the husband’s name is listed second. The children’s names are then centered underneath on line two and are listed according to age with the oldest being first:

    Mary and Charles
    Charles, Millicent and May

    What is the proper way to make a last name plural?

    When a last name ends in “s”, “x”, “z”, “ch”, and “sh”, add an “–es”:

    The Williamses, The Joneses, The Churches

    Many people feel this not only looks very awkward, but sounds awkward as well. An alternative to this is to say:

    The Williams Family, The Jones Family, The Church Family

    When a last names ends in “o” or “y”, add “s”:

    The Henrys, The Garbos
    Back To Top

    What is the difference in a plural and a plural possessive?

    An apostrophe (‘) is used to show ownership, NEVER to form a plural:

    Cheers from The Smiths
    (NOT Cheers from The Smith’s)
    The Henrys
    (NOT The Henry’s)
    Halls’ Lake House
    (NOT Hall’s Lake House)

    How do I make sure that my text is large and is easily read?

    Text sizing is based on the number of characters per line. In other words, the more text you enter on each line, the smaller the words will appear on your personalized cup or napkin. We recommend that you break up your text onto several separate lines.

    • This set up allows the letters to be larger and will show up better.
      Catherine
      and
      Michael
    • This setup will cause your letters to be smaller and harder to read.
