The story of your first year, printed to keep
The perfect PAPER ANNIVERSARY GIFT
Whether it’s your paper wedding anniversary or you’re into double figures and beyond, celebrate your love with a bespoke newspaper created entirely around your story.
Life in Print transforms your memories, photographs and married life into a beautifully written and designed newspaper: a personal paper anniversary gift made to be read, kept and treasured.
Don’t just remember your wedding day. Tell the story of year one.
Don't know how to turn a year of memories into a story? You don't have to. Our journalist-led Evening Gazette package can turn your memories, photographs and conversations into professionally written articles about your first year of marriage.
Also available as our photo-led Daily Echo, to look back at your memories of the year, or with our Morning Chronicle, where you write the stories and we transform them into a complete, bespoke newspaper.
Our newspapers come in tabloid or broadsheet size, but professionally-designed front-page only options are also available in A4 or A3.

What goes inside an anniversary newspaper?
A first anniversary newspaper can combine your wedding-day memories with all of the milestones, photographs and stories from your first incredible year of married life.
-
The first wedding anniversary is traditionally known as the paper anniversary because paper symbolises the beginning of a marriage. Something still new, with its story yet to be written, like a blank canvas. A personalised newspaper is a particularly fitting way to mark it because it combines the traditional paper gift with the story of your first year together.
-
A paper anniversary newspaper is a bespoke printed publication celebrating your relationship and first year of marriage. It can include your wedding-day memories, honeymoon, photographs, milestones, funny moments, messages to each other and anything else that made your first married year memorable. You can order a single keepsake copy, or multiple copies if you’re celebrating with family and friends.
-
Absolutely! Our bespoke anniversary newspapers can be created as a surprise gift for your partner, parents or friends.
-
Our paper anniversary newspapers start from £75 for design. Final pricing varies based on the number of pages, copies, the tier chosen and the size of the final product. Available from a single, keepsake copy, as well as for A3/A4 print-at-home versions.
Think of the milestones to remember, from your wedding day highlights to your honeymoon memories and your first married Christmas. Share the stories that made you laugh, cry and be grateful for saying “I do”. Look forward with your hopes, plans and predictions for the next year, or write each other secret messages only to be revealed when your newspapers land on your doorstep.
-
Yes. Although the first anniversary has a special connection to paper, we can create bespoke anniversary newspapers for any milestone anniversary. They can celebrate a particular year, revisit your wedding story, look back over your life together, or mark major memories from the years since you married.
-
No. If you choose our professionally written Evening Gazette service, you can be interviewed by an experienced journalist who will turn your memories into polished newspaper-style articles for you. If you prefer to supply your own wording, we can work with that instead with our Morning Chronicle package.
-
Lead times depend on the level of writing, design and printing required. We recommend a minimum of 10 working days for our Daily Echo and Morning Chronicle packages.
