Questions
Good questions from careful parents
Do I choose which photos go in?
Yes, always. Every photo your guests add lands in a private gallery for your family first. We'll suggest the best ones and skip blurry or duplicate shots, and you approve the final photos and every page before anything prints. Nothing goes in the book without your OK.
Tip for guests: upload original photos from your camera roll, not photos someone re-sent you by text. Texted photos are too low-res to print well.
Who can see my baby's photos?
Guest photos and voices will be private to your family: only people with your private party link can add to it, uploads won't be public or searchable, and nothing goes to print until you approve it. We're building ways for you to close the link and to download or delete your memories, and we'll publish our full photo and voice policy before the first guest uploads.
What if guests don't record anything?
Your book will still be beautiful. The story is built from whatever arrives: photos, short notes, even a single voice message. You can record a few minutes yourself about your baby's first year, too. Guests can add memories any time during the 7-day window, and many find it easier at home after the party anyway.
When will my book arrive?
Guests have 7 days to add memories. Approve your proof and it's usually at your door about 2 weeks later. You get your proof a couple of days after uploads close. Shipping is free; US delivery times vary by address.
How does the pre-order work?
Pre-orders are for first-birthday parties on or after November 15, 2026. Pick Classic or Faith Edition (same price) enter your baby's first name and party date in the pre-order box, then check out. Your party's private QR link for guests arrives about a week before the party.
Honest note: we're finishing the guest upload tool now. It will be ready before the first November 15 parties, which is why pre-orders start with parties on or after that date.
Do I need a party kit?
No. Every book includes your party's private QR link, and that's all guests need. The kit just makes the day easier. The Stress-Free Party Package ($24.99) arrives printed and mailed before your party: a QR welcome sign, table cards, and guest prompts. Just set it out. Your guests do the rest. No printing, no cutting, no explaining. Order it at least 2 weeks before the party. Prefer DIY? The Print-at-Home Party Kit ($9.99) is the same set as PDFs.
What if I change my mind?
You get a full refund anytime before your book goes to print. Just email us. Your book doesn't print until you've approved your proof.
Can grandparents who can't come still add messages?
Yes. Send them the same link, and they can add photos and record a message from anywhere, before or after the party. Their voice can get its own page and QR code. (A call-in option for grandparents without smartphones is something we're exploring.)
Does an AI really write it?
AI drafts the story from your guests' photos and words, and keeps their wording wherever it can. You read every page and change anything you want before it prints.
