Before you start

Common questions.

Is this good for a bridesmaid proposal?

It’s one of the most popular uses. A comic of your friendship is the bridesmaid proposal gift that makes the moment unforgettable.

Can I order a copy for every bridesmaid?

Yes. Additional copies of the same recap are 25% off — affordable enough to gift the whole crew from one original.

Do I need tons of photos?

Just a handful of favorites and a few stories. About five minutes of your time — we handle the captions, art and layout.

When should I order before the wedding?

Digital is ready the same day. Printed hardcovers ship in about 5 business days, with rush delivery available at checkout.

Can each bridesmaid have a slightly different version?

Most brides create one friendship story and order matching copies. You can also personalize individual details per copy at checkout.

What if I don’t love the preview?

Then you don’t pay. First panels are free to preview, backed by a 100% happiness guarantee.
