Gift messages are available when the order ships

A gift note is not a separate product. It is a text field attached to a print order. The real question is whether the wording survives packaging and arrives before the recipient does.

The short answer

Yes, you can add a custom message on a Manoucher Yektai print if you are ordering a reproduction edition. The note is entered at checkout and travels with the package. Character limits are usually around two hundred to three hundred characters. The message prints on a card inside the box, not on the print itself. Confirm the option exists for the specific edition before you place the order.

Where the message actually lives

A gift message is not printed on the artwork. It is a separate card tucked into the packaging. That distinction matters because the recipient sees it only after opening the box. The wording should work as a short note, not as a label for the wall. A line that reads well on a screen can feel awkward on paper. Keep it to one or two sentences.

The message is tied to the order, not to the artist. Any reproduction edition that supports gift notes will accept the same kind of text. If you want a personalized note on a Manoucher Yektai print, write it as if you were handing over a card with a book. The print is the object. The message is the gesture.

Character limits and timing

Most checkout fields cap gift text at roughly two hundred to three hundred characters. That is enough for a sentence or two and a signature. It is not enough for a letter. Write the note in a draft first if you tend to overwrite. Trim anything that repeats the obvious, such as saying the print is beautiful.

The message must be added before the order ships. Once the package leaves the studio, the note is already printed and packed. Personalized gift options for art prints depend on that timing. If you miss the checkout window, the note cannot be added later. Allow time for the order to be processed before the gift date.

Character limits usually fall between two hundred and three hundred
Add the text before the order enters production
Keep the wording short enough to read at a glance

What to write and what to avoid

A useful gift message names the recipient and the reason in plain language. A line such as marking a birthday or a move is enough. The print does the visual work. The note does the personal work. Do not try to describe the artwork in the same space where you are saying why you chose it for them.

Avoid language that sounds like a sales pitch. Do not mention the edition, the framing choice, or the price. Those details belong to the transaction, not to the gift. If you want the note to feel considered, write it as though you were leaving a comment on a card attached to a book. Short and specific beats long and general.

The print is the object. The message is the gesture. They are not the same thing, and the note should not try to be.

Key takeaways

A gift message is a card inside the box, not text on the print
Character limits usually sit between two hundred and three hundred characters
The note must be entered before the order ships
Keep the wording personal and short, and leave out price or edition details

Related questions

Can the message be added after the order is placed

Usually not. The note is printed and packed with the order before it ships. Once the package leaves the studio, the message is already fixed. If you need to change it, contact the seller as soon as possible and before production begins. After that point, the option is likely closed.

Does the message appear on the canvas or the frame

No. The text goes on a separate gift card inside the packaging. It is not printed on the canvas, the poster, or the frame. That keeps the artwork clean and lets the note be read once, then kept or discarded. If you want text on the surface itself, that is a different request and not a standard gift note.

What if I want a longer note than the field allows

Write the longer note separately and include it by hand if the delivery method allows. The checkout field is meant for a short card, not a letter. A longer message can be placed in a separate envelope and handed to the recipient alongside the print. That keeps the gift note simple and the personal message complete.
