Why paper for the first anniversary
The traditional first anniversary gift is paper. The idea is that the marriage is new and still being written on. A print of the place where it started fits that well.
Ours is printed on heavy matte fine art paper with pigment inks, so the color holds for years. Order it print only to stay with the paper theme, or framed to give it ready to hang.

Questions
What paper is it?
Thick matte fine art paper, 230 gsm and acid free, printed with pigment inks. It does not shine under a lamp and does not turn yellow.
How does the print only version ship?
Rolled in a tube. Lay it flat under a couple of books for a day and it settles.
Will it look like the preview?
Yes. The preview in the editor is the file we print, at 300 dpi. At checkout you can open it full size and read every letter.
What if the place is not on today's maps?
Type it the way you remember it. If it is gone (a bar that closed, a street that was renamed), we show the town around it and the poster keeps the name you typed. For the exact spot, type its old street address.
When does it arrive?
Each poster is made to order and printed in California. US orders arrive in 4 to 8 business days, framed or not. We email tracking the day it ships.
