Anniversary memory book
An anniversary book from everyone who watched their love grow.
Twenty-five years, forty, fifty. Send one link, and their children, grandchildren and oldest friends each add a story or a photo of the two of them. We print and bind it into a book they can open together.
Free to start. No payment until you approve your book. Books from $45.
How it works
You send one link. The family fills the book.
Kids, grandkids, the best man from the wedding: everyone who has been part of their story can add a page, wherever they live.
Begin the book
Pick a cover and add their name. It takes a few minutes and costs nothing.
Share the link
Text or email it to the family and their friends. Everyone adds memories and photos from their phone or computer.
Review every page
Every memory comes to you first. Approve the full proof before anything prints.
We print and ship
Choose hardcover, paperback or spiral. Free standard shipping in the US.
What to write
Anniversary book prompts to send the family
A blank page stops people. A good question gets them writing. Copy any of these into your message.
- Tell us a moment that captures who they really are together.
- What's your favorite story about the two of them?
- What has their marriage taught you?
- What's the best advice they've given you about love?
- What do you remember about their wedding day?
- What's a tradition they started that you still keep?
- What do you wish for their next ten years?
- Finish the sentence: “You two showed me…”
Short is fine. Two honest sentences and a photo make a beautiful page.
Timing
Start about four to five weeks before the celebration.
Anniversary books often gather memories from 20 to 60 people, so plan on three to five weeks. Here's how the time splits.
Choose how they keep it
One for the couple, copies for the family.
A hardcover makes a lasting gift for the couple, and you can let family members order their own copies.
Hardcover
Sturdy laminate boards and a ribbon marker. The heirloom version for their bookshelf.
Paperback
A classic book feel on cream paper, and an easy choice for extra copies.
Spiral
Opens flat for easy reading. No minimum page count, so it suits smaller books.
All prices include typesetting and free standard US shipping. Books over 50 pages add $10 for each additional 50 pages. A photo cover adds $10. Full pricing details.
Questions
Before you send the link
How far ahead should I start?
About four to five weeks before the anniversary. Give everyone three to four weeks to add their memories. Printing takes 3 to 5 business days after you approve your proof, plus shipping.
Do people need an account to add a memory?
Not with an open link: anyone you share it with can add a memory and a photo from their phone or computer. If you would rather keep it private, a private invite asks each contributor to make a free account.
Can someone add more than one page?
Yes. Each contributor gets one page by default, and you can allow up to 20 pages per person in your book's settings.
Can family members order their own copy?
Yes. You can allow contributors to buy copies of the book themselves.
What if only a few people contribute?
You can add memories on someone's behalf, and a smaller book of heartfelt notes is still a gift they will keep. Spiral books have no minimum page count.
Their story deserves more than a card.
