How to make an anniversary map

An anniversary love story map with three places

An anniversary map tells a couple's story in places - a deeply personal gift and a high-margin product. Here is how to make one.

1. Choose the moments

Pick three places that matter: where they met, got engaged and married - or any three milestones.

2. Search each location

Add each city or address in turn using the love story style. Each panel keeps the same clean layers.

3. Add names, dates and pins

Engrave a short label and date on each map and drop a pin on the exact spot.

4. Arrange and export

Lay the three panels into one composition and export a single layered SVG.

5. Cut, engrave and frame

Engrave the labels, cut the maps and frame the set. It is one of the most giftable products you can offer.
