First anniversary. Paper, properly.

The 1st wedding anniversary is paper — and it is the easiest tradition to do well or do badly. A printed card and a bunch of flowers does it badly. A personalised print on heavyweight archival paper, designed by you around your wedding day, your venue, your first dance song — that does it properly.

Every print on this page is printed on the same 310gsm museum-grade archival paper used by serious galleries. Fade-resistant pigment inks. The kind of paper that looks the same on year 25 as it does on year 1. Order it framed and we hand-frame it for you in our London studio; order it unframed and you get a flat, cleanly-packed print ready for the frame they already have on the shelf.

HOW IT WORKS

Made by hand, finished like a gallery.

310gsm archival paper, every print

Museum-grade matte, acid-free, fade-resistant. The same paper the major gallery print houses use.

Designed by you, live

Map your wedding venue. Render the night sky from your wedding night. Type the lyrics of your first dance. Our designer renders every change in front of you — no email proofs, no design queue.

Framed or unframed

Unframed for the paper purists (literally just the paper). Hand-framed in real-wood or aluminium moulding when you want it ready to hang. Either way, the paper is the same.

About

The paper anniversary, done with intent

The first wedding anniversary is paper — both in the UK and US tradition lists. Paper because it is the beginning: blank, light, easily marked, easily kept. A first-anniversary gift that honours the tradition is a thing on paper, made for them, kept for the long run.

What we print

Personalised maps of the wedding venue. Star maps of the wedding night sky. Song lyrics from the first dance. Photo prints of the day. Old Ordnance Survey maps of the town where it happened. Each is fully designed by you in our live designer before you check out.

Why our paper matters

Cheap print-on-demand suppliers run thin satin or glossy paper at 180-200gsm. We run 310gsm archival — heavier, matte, acid-free, fade-resistant with pigment (not dye) inks. The difference is felt before it is seen: it does not curl, it does not bow in a frame, and it stays the colour it was the day it left us.

01

General

What kind of paper do you print on?
310gsm museum-grade archival paper, acid-free, with fade-resistant pigment inks. The same paper specification used by serious gallery print houses.
Can I get it unframed for the paper tradition?
Yes — every print on this page is available unframed. That's how most of our paper-anniversary buyers order it.
How long does it take?
Unframed prints leave the studio in 3-5 working days. Framed prints take 5-7 working days.
Can I personalise it with our wedding date and venue?
Yes — that's the whole point. The live designer lets you set the date, location, names, song or whatever the print calls for, and renders it in front of you before you check out.
