Our story
Aoife & Conor
And then there was us.
The poster builds itself as you add each moment. The greyed-out moments are just an example: they are never printed.

Full description
Your story on a single poster: your two first names at the top, then the moments that matter placed along a path, from top to bottom — the day you met, your first date, your first trip, the flat, the dog, the big yes. Each moment has its date, its place and a little drawing chosen from sixteen: a heart, a cup, a key, a plane, a ring…
Three to eight moments, and you decide how many. Write the date the way you remember it — “12 May 2019”, “summer 2020” or just “2022” — and there are ideas for titles waiting if a blank page puts you off. The poster takes shape before your eyes with every moment you add. Four styles: sage and terracotta, dusty pink, black and white, midnight blue and gold.
- 250 g matte paper, pigment inks, printed to order.
- Five sizes: A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm.
- Optional wooden frame on the A4 and 30 × 40, black, white or natural.
- Or the print-ready file: all five sizes, each as a PDF and a 300 dpi PNG, by download link.

Frequently asked questions
Is it a good anniversary gift for a couple?
Yes: it is a personalised poster that tells your story, from the day you met to today. People give it for a dating or wedding anniversary, for Valentine’s Day, or to their parents for a big wedding anniversary, when the children write the moments.
What does the poster show?
“Our story” at the top, your two first names, a line of your choice, then three to eight moments placed along a dotted path that winds down the page. Each moment has its title, its date, its place and a little drawing. Four styles: sage and terracotta, dusty pink, black and white, midnight blue and gold.
How many moments can I add?
Three to eight, and you choose how many before you write them. Beyond eight, the text of each moment would be too small to read on a 30 × 40.
Do I need exact dates?
No. Write the date the way you remember it: “12 May 2019”, “June 2019”, “summer 2020” or just “2022”. It is printed exactly as you write it, and it is optional, like the place.
Which drawings can I choose?
Sixteen, one per moment: a heart, a cup of coffee, a glass, a key, a house, a plane, a suitcase, a car, a ring, two wedding rings, a paw, a pram, a mountain, a wave, a camera and a musical note.
What if I run out of ideas?
Ideas for moments are waiting under the form — first date, first trip, moving in together, a dog joins the family, our wedding day… — and each one comes with its drawing. A dice next to each moment picks one at random. Everything can be rewritten.
Is what I see what I will receive?
Yes: the preview is composed by the same editor as the print, and a “Check your poster” screen opens before the basket. The greyed-out moments are the page’s example: they are never printed.
Which size should I pick?
A4 or 30 × 40 for three to five moments, in a frame you already have or the one we offer. From six moments, the 40 × 60 gives the text more room to breathe, though all eight moments fit on every size.
Which sizes and frames?
A4, 30 × 40, 40 × 60, 50 × 70 and 70 × 100 cm: standard frame sizes, easy to find. Optional wooden frame on the A4 and 30 × 40, in black, white or natural, with acrylic glass; the larger sizes ship rolled, to frame at home.
What paper is the poster printed on?
250 g/m² satin matte paper, lightfast pigment inks. Printed to order in our workshop up to 40 × 60, by our printer beyond that. Shipped rolled, in a sturdy long cardboard box; the A4 travels flat, in a stiff card envelope.
Can I get the file instead of the poster?
Yes. The print-ready file contains all five sizes, each as a PDF and as a 300 dpi PNG — ten files in all, by a download link sent after payment, to print wherever you like.
How long does it take?
Your poster is dispatched within 48 hours, then delivered in six to seven days to Ireland and the rest of Europe (four to five in France) — to your home or a pickup point, home delivery only for the 50 × 70 and 70 × 100. For a fixed date, allow ten days outside France. The download link for the printable file is sent as soon as payment is confirmed.
