A simple approval card can make a small gift layout easier to review before a sample is prepared. Put the requested wording on one side and the planned artwork view on the other, then check them together.
Keep the decision easy to see
Use the exact wording supplied for the project and leave enough open space around it to judge the first read. Record which version was reviewed instead of relying on a memory of the message. The card is a planning aid, not proof of a final production result.
