What are celebration books?
Celebration Books let people request one story each from a large group of people.
Some examples would be celebrating:
- a loved one’s graduation, birthday, retirement, memorial
- a couple’s wedding or anniversary
- a family reunion, a group of friends
- a location (e.g. a guest book, a family home)
- an organization (e.g. a team, a business, a non-profit)
Is it free?
It is currently free to start a Celebration Book, and you can invite as many people as you’d like. You only pay when you order your final book.
How long does it take?
You determine the timing for your project based on your desired delivery date. We generally recommend giving yourself at least 5-6 weeks for projects overall, with at least 3 weeks for collecting and organizing your stories, and 2 weeks to ship, print, and deliver your book.
How many people can I invite?
You can invite as many people as you'd like! When inviting people to join your project, you can add a personal note where you can specify what question(s) you’d like for them to answer. We also have an inspiration page to help you think through questions that may be relevant to each occasion. We highly recommend giving people a specific ask or structure for their response to make it easier for people to start writing.
