Name a star for your anniversary
An anniversary wants a gift that says us, permanently. A star named for the two of you is exactly that: a real, catalogued star, dedicated once in our register with your names on it, never resold — a fixed point in the sky that carries your story.
Three ways couples do it
- One star, both names — "Emma & James, est. 2016" with your wedding date as the dedication. The classic.
- A pair of stars — one named for each of you, in the same constellation, side by side in the register (our order form takes both in one go — most companies make this hard; we made it two clicks).
- The surprise reveal — order the Classic in the restaurant car park, send the e-gift reveal to their phone over dessert. The £9.99 that looks like you planned it for months.
Matching the star to the story
Choose a constellation that means something: Cygnus, the swan — swans pair for life; Lyra, the harp of Orpheus, the sky's great love story; Gemini, the inseparable twins; or the constellation of the month you met. Add your wedding date as the registration message, and the certificate becomes a document of the marriage as much as of the star.
Milestones
First anniversary (paper — the certificate is literally the traditional gift), 10th (tin — pair it with the framed certificate), 25th silver (a silver-framed £19.99 Gift Pack reads beautifully), 50th golden — children and grandchildren often name the star together for the couple; the register records who dedicated it.
The honest bit
Star naming is symbolic — only the International Astronomical Union assigns official star names, and it doesn't sell them. What's real: the star, its coordinates, and your dedication in our register, verifiable by anyone at any time. How it works.
