Why let your bank checks get lost in the crowd when you can personalize them? You can choose from literally thousands of designs or select several designs for every season, mood, or occasion. Read on for some personal bank check ideas.

There are a lot of fresh personal bank check prints for all kinds of personalities. Sports fans, for example, can get checks that carry the logos of their favorite teams. Pet lovers can get personal bank checks printed with their favorite dogs, cats, or even wild animals. Do you prefer something more somber and artistic? Why not order checks featuring works of both classic and contemporary artists? Imagine a Picasso on every check you send out! Your recipients will not only be amused - they would be educated, too.

There are also special-edition checks available, usually through cause-oriented groups such as animal rights groups, cancer awareness groups, and other such organizations. These checks carry the advocacy messages, and some portions of what you pay to buy these checks are used to fund these organizations' activities. By using these checks, you help them spread their messages.

There are also Christian checks that you can use to help share inspiring thoughts. These checks either have inspirational messages or images and are available not only through religious organizations, but in almost every print shop as well.

If you can't find any pre-made check design that matches your style, why not create your own? Some print shops allow you to send them a photo that you like (either of yourself, your family, your pet), and then they scan it and integrate it into your check. Talk about issuing very unique checks! It cannot get more personal than this.
