Questions about your personalised birthday newspaper
When will my birthday newspaper be printed and delivered?
If you’re ordering from Germany or Austria, your custom birthday newspaper will usually arrive in around five working days. Place your order before noon, and that day is already counted in the turnaround.
What size will my birthday newspaper be?
Your paper comes in the classic 280 × 400 mm broadsheet format – pretty much A3 size. We print your pages in four-page sections, pop them inside each other and fold them down the middle, just like the real thing.
How many pages can I include?
Design anywhere from 4 up to 40 pages. Just make sure the total’s a multiple of 4 at the end.
Which tool should I use to make a birthday newspaper?
Choose whichever suits you best: the handy Smartpaper24 online editor, the creative freedom of Canva, or our free InDesign template for a bit more control. Every route gives you full flexibility to make it as personal as you like.
How do I pay for my birthday newspaper?
You can pay quickly and securely by PayPal or credit card.
Who usually puts a birthday newspaper together?
Most birthday newspapers are lovingly crafted by friends or family – it could be a best mate, a sibling or even the parents pulling everything together.
What content makes a birthday newspaper special?
The best birthday newspapers feel personal. Here are some ideas to help you capture the guest of honour’s unique charm:
- A fun bio of the birthday star
- Interviews with close friends and family
- Milestone moments and big life events
- Stories about unforgettable memories
- Photo galleries from travels, adventures or epic nights out
- Messages, good wishes and funny stories
- ‘Then & now’ photo comparisons
- A tongue-in-cheek weather forecast
- A birthday horoscope packed with cheeky predictions
When’s the best time to hand over the birthday newspaper?
Usually, it’s given as a surprise on the day itself, adding something extra special to the celebration. Of course, you could also make it after the party as a memento, sharing the highlights with friends and guests.
Who should get a copy?
You decide: just one for the birthday boy or girl, a handful for the inner circle, or a whole stack so everyone at the party gets to take one home. Remember, the more you order, the better the price per copy – and it’s always nice to have a few spares for the scrapbook.
Which paper should I choose?
The paper stock sets the mood. Go for our 60 g/m² for a traditional newsprint feel, or choose 80 g/m² or 90 g/m² if you want something a bit sturdier and brighter for those all-important photos.
