For weddings and anniversaries
The love story, as told by everyone who saw it happen.
Guests, family and old friends each file a memory, a photo or a piece of advice. We set it as a newspaper about the two of you, online and as a printed keepsake for the big day.

How it works
-
Start the edition
Add the couple's names and the date, then choose a website, a printed keepsake, or both.
-
Invite the guests
One link for the guest list, or personal invites. Everyone gets a byline.
-
Everyone writes
Memories, photos, advice, predictions and the occasional embarrassing story. Seal a piece and it stays hidden until the wedding day.
-
Present it on the day
The newspaper goes live for the couple at the reception, and the printed keepsake is ready to hand over, or to sit on every table.
Five ways to file a story
Feature Story
The long read. How you know them, the moment you knew, what you wish for them.
Photo Spread
Your favourite picture of the two of them, with the story behind it.
Society Page
Short and gossipy. The rumour, the toast, the thing everyone was thinking.
Listicle
Advice, predictions, reasons they work. One item per line.
Interview
Start lines with Q and A. Interview your partner about the couple, or yourself.

Questions
Can we keep it a surprise from the couple?
Yes. Only the people you invite can see it, and sealed pieces stay hidden from everyone until you reveal the edition.
Can the couple make their own edition for their guests?
Absolutely. Plenty of couples start one themselves and ask guests to write before the wedding.
How many stories can each guest write?
As many as they like. The price covers each guest's place, not each story.
Can we print copies for every table?
Yes. Every guest in your package gets a copy, and extra copies are $14 each ($12 from 50 copies, $10 from 100). We ship to one address or collect each guest's address for you.
Do guests need a password?
No. Everyone signs in with a link we email them.
How long does the website stay up?
Twelve months, then $19 a year if you want to keep it online. If it lapses, it is archived, never deleted, and can be brought back for an anniversary.
What if we write more than fits?
Each guest's place includes up to 2 pages. If your stories run longer, we tell you before layout and you can trim, or add extra pages one 4-page sheet at a time. Nothing is printed until you agree.
Can guests chip in?
Yes. Share the chip-in link and guests can put in any amount toward the package. What is raised is taken off what you pay.
