Why it feels meaningful

People don’t remember “stuff”. They remember moments. A personalised front page makes the recipient feel seen, because it’s built around their date, their name and their photo.

A person is holding up a framed newspaper-style wedding announcement for the recipient, Lily and Noah, celebrating their 8th wedding anniversary.

FAQ

Q: What is this product?

A: A personalised newspaper-style poster created as decorative artwork. It is designed to celebrate a birthday or anniversary with curated highlights from a chosen year.

Q: What details can you personalise?

A: Depending on the design, we personalise names, date (birth or wedding), age or anniversary year, a short headline/message, and your photo. The poster also includes curated facts from the chosen year.

Q: Is this a real newspaper?

A: No. This is fictional newspaper-style artwork for decorative purposes only. It is not an actual newspaper publication.

Q: Do you enhance the photo before printing?

A: Yes. We professionally enhance your photo using specialist software to achieve the best possible print-ready quality, even if the original is older or low resolution.

Q: Can I get a proof before printing?

A: Yes. A digital proof is available on request so you can check names, dates, and photo layout before we print.

Q: When do you start production and how fast do you dispatch?

A: We begin once we have all required personalisation details (and your proof approval, if requested). We usually dispatch within 1–2 working days when all details are provided and no further edits are needed.

A: A4/A3 print only, A4/A3 framed (black or white), and a high-resolution 300dpi digital PDF download for home printing or local print shops.

Q: How is it packaged for delivery or gifting?

A: Print-only orders are shipped flat in rigid “Do Not Bend” packaging. Framed prints are wrapped in premium tissue paper and shipped in a protective postal box, ideal for sending as a gift.

Q: Can I change the facts or correct something?

A: Facts are curated and may vary by source. If you spot something before printing, message us and we’ll review and adjust where appropriate. Changes after printing cannot be guaranteed. Chinese Zodiac may vary around Chinese New Year.
