Greeting Card Inside Message Type Size

I am wanting to order a greeting card with an inside message of Happy Birthday ... When going through the ordering procedure, the type shows very, very small on the inside of the card. Has anyone ordered a card with a personalized message on the inside? Can the type be sized appropriately for the 5 x 7 size ... or would it be this itty bitty message in the middle of the 5 X 7 card? Thanks to anyone who has done this and can answer!

I've been wondering the same thing Clare, I hope someone has an answer. The type size looks ridiculously small, I would have thought you should be able to choose the font size.

I have ordered cards with writing in and they looked fabulous and not small

The inside type is about what you would find in the mass producted generic cards found at Wal Mart and Halmark. I think it looks fine. You didn't ask specifically, but when I do a greeting card, I use a 2100X1500 (or 1500X2100 depending on your orientation) size. For my font on the front of the card, I go bigger than I need to (like a sixe 48 or 72) then size down depending on space and how it looks with whatever image is on there and then upload. Here's a card I made the other month

Okay, maybe I will give it a try. I understand if you were to type a verse on the inside, it would probably size properly, but when looking at just Happy Birthday on the order page, it looks like it is extremely small in comparison to the card size. Maybe to type in Happy Birthday in ten different languages to take up space???!!!!!! (Joseph, I'm not concerned with the front of the card, just the inside message) Does anyone have a screen shot of an inside greeting?

You could also get the card sent to you first and personally sign it!

Joseph, Yes, I could do that as well but I would like the greeting to be printed and then have my personal signature or any "additional" message "after the fact". I would just like to know definitively what size the font is inside the card as far as the greeting goes.
