Before you start

Common questions.

How is this different from a regular bridesmaid gift?

It can go deeper — more pages, more personal stories, the full friendship arc. Many brides make a special MOH edition, then order simpler copies for the rest of the party.

Can I include her maid-of-honor speech?

Yes. Add the speech, the planning chaos, and the moments only she was there for.

Do I need to write anything?

No. Five minutes of photos and bullet points is enough. We turn it into finished comic panels you can edit.

When should I give it to her?

Rehearsal dinner, wedding morning, or post-wedding thank-you — all work beautifully.

Can I order copies for other bridesmaids too?

Yes. Additional copies are 25% off, so you can gift the whole party from one original.

What if she doesn’t love it?

Preview free first. You approve a proof before we print.

What if I go over the moment limit?

Standard includes 100 moments, Premium 120, and Deluxe 150. One photo uploaded equals one moment. Extra moments are $0.60 each if you keep every photo in the book — or you can stay at the included count with no extra charge.
