For your parents' wedding anniversary: the family they built, ready to colour
Updated 13 May 2026
Parents' wedding anniversaries, especially after 20, 30 or 40 years, always hit the same wall: they already have everything, and any gift from the shop feels small next to the meaning of the date. A coloring book takes the question from another angle. Instead of speaking to the couple, it hands back what they actually built: their children, their grandchildren, their wider family. An object to leaf through, or to colour with the grandchildren when they come over.
A few examples that work for this case

The wedding photo as a page to colour, often placed at the opening of the album.

All the children and grandchildren on one page: the high point of the album.

The couple today: the closing page that brings everything full circle.
Our tip for wedding anniversaries
Mix the eras: the wedding photo, photos of the children when they were small, recent ones of the grandchildren. The album becomes a family book to colour, spanning their entire marriage. For a golden anniversary (50 years), the 24-photo format makes sense. They've rarely received a gift this layered.
Recommended format
48-page book, €64.99
A landmark wedding anniversary (20, 30, 50 years) calls for a wide format, one that retraces several decades of family in pictures.
How we make your book
Designed in France, printed on demand by our print partner, close to your delivery address. Square 21.6 cm format, 90 g/m² uncoated inner paper that holds pencils and water-based markers well, hardcover on the 12 and 24-photo formats (stapled on the 6-photo format).
Frequently asked questions
We have few digital photos from the 70s and 80s. What can we do?
Photograph or scan the prints in natural daylight, flat. As long as the result is sharp (1500 px wide minimum), we can work with them. Avoid yellowed or heavily contrasted scans.
Can several siblings take part?
Yes, and we recommend it. Each adult child can send their favourite photos, and the album becomes a collective gift from the whole family. Upload all the photos in a single order.
