Collection: Paper First Anniversary Gifts

Celebrate your first year together with personalised 1st anniversary gifts made to order by our small team. The first wedding anniversary is your paper anniversary, and a personalised print is the perfect paper anniversary gift: your song, your place or your night sky, designed for the two of you and made to keep.

Why paper for the 1st anniversary?

Every year of marriage has a traditional material, and the first is paper. It represents the blank page of a new life together, a story you have only just started to write. Paper may sound delicate, but a well made print is anything but: chosen with care and framed, it becomes a keepsake that marks the start of everything that follows.

Paper anniversary gift ideas

Our most-loved first anniversary gifts all start with a moment that is yours alone:

• Your first dance song lyrics printed in the shape of a vinyl record, with your names and wedding date at the centre.
• Personalised sheet music of your wedding song, or a version printed on handmade paper for a true paper gift.
• A star map showing the night sky over your wedding venue on the day you married.
• A special place map of where you met, got engaged or said "I do".
• A memories doodle print that gathers your favourite moments from your first year into one illustration.

Every design can be personalised with names, dates, places and colours, so the finished print feels like it could only belong to you.

A first anniversary gift for him or for her

A personalised print works as a 1st anniversary gift for your husband or your wife. It is thoughtful without being fussy, and it suits every style of home, from calm and minimal to bold and colourful. Add a handwritten card and you have a present that feels considered rather than last-minute.

Traditional and modern

Paper is the traditional first anniversary gift, while clocks are the modern alternative. A framed print honours the classic theme, and it will still be on your wall long after the day itself.

Made in-house, made to keep

Each print is made to order by our small team on quality paper, with unframed or ready-to-hang framed options. Because everything is personalised, please order in good time before your anniversary date. Delivery timings are shown at checkout.
