How Long Does a Custom Keepsake Order Take, Start to Finish?

Timing questions usually come with a date attached: a funeral, a wedding, a reunion, a birthday. Here's exactly what happens between your first email and the box arriving, so you can work backward from your date.

The Steps

Every custom order moves through the same five stages.

• You email the photo, the quantity, and the date. Fastest step — and the more detail you give, the fewer replies it takes.
• We quote it and confirm we can meet your date. Usually same or next business day.
• We prepare your proof, including any photo repair.
• You approve the proof. Production starts here, not before.
• Production, generally about 5–10 business days, then shipping.

What Slows Things Down

Almost every delay we see comes from one of these:

• A proof sitting unanswered in an inbox.
• A photo that arrives compressed and has to be re-sent as an original.
• Design changes after approval.
• Peak season — November and December run tighter than the rest of the year.

Holiday Timing

For Christmas delivery, custom orders should be placed by November 15, and custom orders require pre-approval. Premade Testify Swag Kits and local pickup run through December 15. After those dates, reach out and we'll tell you honestly what's still possible.

If Your Date Is Close

Email us anyway with the date in the subject line. We'll tell you plainly whether we can make it. We'd rather turn something down than take an order we can't finish on time.

How a 3.5-inch photo magnet becomes part of the story

Our custom photo magnets are professionally produced as 3.5-inch round keepsakes. They are big enough to actually see the faces in the picture, but small enough to belong on the refrigerator, the filing cabinet at work, or the side of a metal lamp in grandma's bedroom.

You provide the photograph. We help you make sure the resolution, the crop, and the framing honor the moment. Most people send us a phone photo or a scan of an older print, and we walk them through the rest. The keepsake itself does the work after that — quietly, every day, for years.

Across the Yakima Valley

Families across the Yakima Valley have a way of holding tight to the photographs that matter. We hear it from grandparents in Naches, from young couples in Sunnyside, and from churches and ministries gathering in Yakima. Wherever you live in the valley — from the orchard roads of Tieton to the riverfront in Prosser — a keepsake photo magnet can quietly carry your story from one chapter to the next.

How to start

Email tsocustomkeepsakes@gmail.com with a short note about the photograph you want to preserve and the moment behind it. We'll respond with simple next steps — how to send the image, a brief design questionnaire, and information about custom order options.

There is no shopping cart and no checkout. Every keepsake we make begins with a conversation, because every keepsake we make is built around a story.
