Frequently asked questions...

WHAT IS AN HEIRLOOM REGISTRY?

The Heirloom Gift Registry allows family and friends to contribute to the cost of their loved ones photographic print product or service. Instead of getting the couple some boring plates and silverware or a coffee maker, they'll be able to use your contribution towards additional pages in their wedding album, a beautiful handcrafted canvas, or prints for their home.

There are no handling or hidden fee's. 100% of the contributions you give go directly to the couple to spend as they wish.

BUT DIGITAL IS THE WAY TO GO, RIGHT?

The couple will receive their photos in a digital format... BUT albums and prints are a timeless, tactile way to view, share and remember that special day. The digital age is changing quickly which means while we're storing things on smaller and smaller devices we actually make them less easily accessible and run the risk of losing them for our generations to come.

WHY ARE PRINTS IMPORTANT?

Throughout history, prints and albums have served as an essential record of a family’s history. Nowhere else can a person find so many authentic photos of relatives and friends engaged in a day full of romance or significant events. By creating an album and printing your photos, you will be contributing to the couple's history by ensuring that future generations have a tangible record of how their family came to be over time.

WHAT WILL I RECEIVE AFTER CONTRIBUTING?

Not only will you receive the joy from knowing the couple will get to re-live these memories for generations, you'll personally receive a 3"x3" notecard with your contribution amount to give to the couple. These notecards can be placed in any size envelope alongside your traditional greeting card. The notecard with the contribution amount is NOT required from the couple to receive their gift. The couple will be notified after the wedding day of all donors and their contribution amount. Please make your contribution no later than 10 business days prior to the event to make sure you receive your notecard in time.
