Providing you opt for a printed newspaper to be delivered directly to you*, you’ll receive a 100% personalised front page spoof newspaper, presented on beautifully textured 150g laid conqueror paper and tied in a scroll in a ribbon colour of your choice.
As an added extra, you’ll also receive a FREE digital copy of your print to share with friends and family via email.
* A print-at-home version is offered for those who’d like to print the page themselves, or send the newspaper directly to their recipient’s email address
Of course! This is actually a new and exciting service offered by The Occasional Reporter. Bespoke newspaper pages purchased via the site require input from you – and often feature a ‘retrospective take on events’. Book me for your event here and I’ll jot down all the action in my trusty notebook as it happens. I’ll chat to attendees and collate ‘live quotes’ in what is a truly unique keepsake.
Perfect for weddings, Christenings, or even engagements or baby showers, my live reporting offering costs just £329 and is available to couples in Yorkshire or Lancashire. For this price, you’ll receive three hours of my time at your event, and a beautiful, framed newspaper page.
Turnaround time is generally 5-7 working days, (excluding Bank Holidays), with UK delivery taking two to three days thereafter. If you’d like an order delivering sooner, do get in touch and we’ll certainly see what I can do. Alternatively, consider opting for our ‘print-at-home’ newspapers, which can be turned around in less than 48 hours, ready for you to print, or email to your recipient.
Our shop features images of our most popular bespoke newspaper pages, but that doesn’t mean your event or occasion can’t be immortalised in print, either. If you can’t see your particular occasion here, simply click the ‘Request a Custom Order’ button in our shop, and fill out your details in our handy questionnaire; we’ll then get to work creating your print
I get it; you’d like to know that I have the experience to write your newspaper page – and I totally understand! You can see samples of my work, alongside lots of testimonials from people I’ve written for (including magazine and newspaper editors) at www.laurenholden.co.uk
I’d like your newspaper page to complement your recipient completely, which is why the questionnaire you fill in on the product page is quite thorough. Give me more information to play with and I’ll have plenty of exciting stories and snippets to use in your newspaper gift. Once I’ve written your page, you’ll have chance to view it via email and make any minor comments or suggestions. Only once I have the go-ahead from you will I send the final piece to my designer, ready to be crafted into your unique page. Since the design process can be quite complex, any changes requested after you’ve proofread and given the final thumbs up on the piece will be subject to an additional charge.
You know your recipient well – and providing you supply me with information that you know won’t offend, they’ll love their page! Everyone relishes the chance to have ‘5 minutes of fame’ and with a front page newspaper, your loved one will be ‘centre stage’ in a fun keepsake they can cherish.
Due to the personalised nature of your newspaper page – and the fact I begin working on them as soon as your questionnaire lands in my inbox – unfortunately, refunds cannot be issued.
Providing the contents of the newspaper page are legal, and not against my moral or ethical beliefs, no event or subject matter is out of bounds. Bespoke newspaper pages have been created to celebrate everything from business anniversaries, to retirements – and once, even for someone’s decorator, to thank him for a job well done!
