Galaxy Origins
The moment of the vows
Every wedding invitation already gives you what we need: the date, the time and the place. We work out the point in the sky above the venue at the hour of the ceremony and find the catalogued galaxy nearest it.
The artwork shows its telescope photograph, the venue's town, the date and time, and a dedication of up to sixty characters, usually their names. It is a present they can hang in their first home together.
What guests write
- Sophie & James · 14 June 2026 · Babington House
- The moment it became for ever. Love, the Hendersons.
- Mr & Mrs Clarke · from Gran, with all her love
You can also give it later: a first anniversary piece made from the same moment.
Off the list, and still welcome
Most couples now ask for money towards a honeymoon, and many guests still want to give something to unwrap. If you go off the gift list, choose something the couple cannot have bought for themselves, because it depends on their own day.
A good rule: order after the wedding, once you know the time of the vows from the order of service. Bring a card on the day saying the present is on its way, then send it to their address a fortnight later, when the thank-you cards are being written.
