Wedding thank you postcards

We used Once Upon for our wedding thank you postcards. The design process was easy, the package came quickly and very affordable compared to other providers. My only feedback would be that the packaging could be more robust as the top postcard had some damage, but otherwise happy.

Absolutely amazing

Shipping was fast, I love that the app also helps out your pictures in order by the date. It made it really easy to stay organized. The pictures and cover turned out amazing and the price is truly what got me, it’s such a great price for what you get!

Support process is excellent

My 5th order arrived and the front cover photo was skewed.
I used the Support page and this was straight forward. Add photos to show the problem and describe it in detail I feel made it easier to resolve. Yao was great with communication to resolve the problem and get another copy printed.
Yes, unfortunate that it occurred but I can't fault the process and help to get it rectified.
I'll 100% continue to use OnceUpon.

Was expecting a more glossy image…

Was expecting a more glossy image quality. The paper quality is good, but the image is a bit washed out.

Favorite photo albums

Amazing quality! I already have 6 books and plan to order in the future. We make a book for each year and it's great quality and super easy to make the book via their app. Payment is secure so I can highly recommend.

Helpful app for creating baby book

I created/ordered a first year baby book for my son. Since Once Upon isn’t strictly for baby books, I formatted it/created “prompts” for myself based off of a different “baby book” app to make the process easier for myself. This app was easy to use and the final product/quality turned out great! Will use again.
