How to Prepare a Family Photo Christmas Ornament

A family photo ornament feels most personal when you choose the photo and wording before checkout. This quick checklist uses the options shown on Wood Signs Family’s Custom Family Photo Portrait Ornament.

Choose a clear photo

Start with an original, well-lit photo where faces are in focus and easy to see. A simple background helps the people in the picture stand out. Avoid a tiny screenshot, a heavily filtered image, or a crop that cuts through a face. Leave a little space around the people so important details are not right at the edge.

Before uploading, make sure you have permission to use the photo and that it is the version you want to keep as a holiday keepsake. If you select a preview option, the listing says you will receive a proof before printing; review it carefully.

Plan the family wording

The product page’s personalization examples show a family name and a year, such as “The Wilson Family” and “2026.” Draft your wording first. Then enter it in the fields as prompted and check spelling, capitalization, and the year before submitting.

Review the size and options

The current listing shows 3.5-inch, 4-inch, 5-inch, 6-inch, and 7-inch sizes, plus a 3-inch sticker option. It also lists “Send Preview,” “With Bow,” “Preview + Bow,” and “No Option.” Choose a background color as prompted and review every selection before adding the item to your cart. Options can affect what you receive and the displayed total, so check the current product page before ordering.

The listing describes the ornament as 3 mm acrylic and says hanging cords are included. Its details say printing may be on one or both sides, depending on the selected choice.

Check the timing and shipping

The store lists production at 3–5 business days and transit at 7–11 days after dispatch. Shipping is $6 for the first item and $1 for each additional item worldwide. Holiday carrier delays are possible, so allow time for both production and transit rather than relying on a specific arrival date.

Quick ordering checklist

• Use a clear, well-lit photo and check the crop.
• Write the family wording and year before entering them.
• Select the size, preview or bow option, and background color.
• Review the proof if you selected a preview option.
• Confirm the displayed total, shipping rate, and delivery window.
