An Anniversary Newspaper From the Day They Married

An anniversary newspaper front page with the couple as the lead story

Set the day they married beside the world it happened in. We typeset the real events of that date and write the front-page story about the two of them.

The date they married, in the world it happened in

Choose the wedding date and the page fills with the real news of that day. The year sets the period, so a 1974 anniversary page carries 1974's typography, diction and prices.

A story about the two of them

The lead article is about the couple, not a generic congratulation — how they met, where they built a life, who came along since, whatever you choose to tell us.

Years later, on the same page

An anniversary is two dates: the day itself and the day you are marking it. The edition is set on the first and given on the second, which is what makes it read like a keepsake rather than a card.

For your own anniversary or someone else's

You can make one for your own marriage or for your parents' or grandparents' — the wizard asks how you are related so the story is told from the right side.

What you need

Their names and the wedding date. Details about how they met or where they have lived are optional and make the story specific.

Give it as a gift

Send a private reveal link with your message attached, or download the finished page and give it in person.

Frequently asked questions

Should I use the wedding date or today's date?

The wedding date. That is the day the page is built from, and the year sets the era of the paper. You give it on the anniversary.

What if the wedding was small, or they eloped?

It makes no difference to the page. The edition is built from the date and from what you tell us about the couple, not from the size of the wedding.

Can I make one for my parents or grandparents?

Yes. The wizard asks how you are related, and the lead story is written from that point of view.

What if I cannot remember the details of their day?

The story questions are all optional. With the names and the date alone you still get a full front page about them.

Is it a real newspaper from their wedding day?

No. It is a new page composed today from the real events of that date, styled like a paper of the period. It is not an archival reproduction.

Can I send it to them instead of handing it over?

Yes. A private reveal link lets them unwrap the edition online with your note attached, without needing an account.
