  • Fill in the text: Use “where it all began...” as your heading, or replace it with a short dedication of your own. Enter your name and your partner’s in the name field, joined by an & if you like. Add the date and location on the line below.

Kim: I am satisfied.
For someone like me, a layperson, it was more than easy to put together the right poster. There was a large selection of designs and options to create your own poster. I bought it as a download for a last-minute gift and was able to print it myself and give it away a day later. This option was just great.

A few words for a big beginning

With “where it all began...” you capture the place where a chance meeting became something more. Add your names and a short line like “08/11/2022, Boston”. For a different phrase, try:

  • “Where we became us”
  • “One place. Our beginning.”
  • “Where home began”
  • “A chance encounter. Then you.”

Which spot tells your story?

Place the heart on the café where you first met, the bench by the river, or your first shared address. Frame the map so familiar streets and paths stay visible. Instead of just the city name, add a personal touch like “Our favorite spot”.

Color with feeling

Purple and a yellow heart pair a soft mood with a bold accent. For a calmer look, combine light lilac shades with a deep purple marker. A short dedication like “It all started with you” or “My favorite place ever since” makes the map even more personal—even without a prominent date.

Something for Every Occasion...

For an anniversary or wedding: Capture the place where you met, with names and a date, for your partner or a couple you’re friends with. Mark the spot as a reminder of that shared beginning. Given over dinner for two or as a group gift from wedding guests, the map can later find its home in the living room.

For a birthday: Celebrate where your friendship began with a gift for your best friend: your college town, hometown, or the place you first met. Add your names and the date for a personal keepsake to display in the hallway or a favorite nook.

For a housewarming or family gift: Your first home together is a lovely starting point for a housewarming gift. For your parents, choose the place where they met instead—perhaps for their anniversary. In a new home or the family living room, a piece of your shared history stays on display.
