An Engagement Gift Made From Your Texts
Give the couple a gift card and they print their own conversation as a book. Or make a book of your own texts with the friend who got engaged, which is yours to print.
What is a good engagement gift that is not for the kitchen?
A book of the couple's own texts is one, given as a gift card. They make the book from their conversation and enter the code when they order. It arrives by email the same day, or you print it at home.
Can I make the book myself as an engagement gift?
Yes, from a conversation you are in. That could be your texts with your best friend from the first mention of this person to the ring. You cannot make one from the couple's private conversation, because you are not in it.
I am the one who got engaged, so can I make it for my fiance?
Yes, and you are the only one who needs to. We never contact anyone else in the conversation. You could end the book on the day of the proposal by choosing the dates.
What about the groupchat where everyone found out?
That prints the same way, with each name beside its messages. Ask the people in it first, since it is their writing too. The groupchat guide explains how it works.
When does the couple have to use the gift card?
Whenever they like, because gift cards never expire. Anything left on one stays for the next order. Engaged people are busy, so the lack of a deadline is part of the gift.
How long does a printed book take if I make one for the engagement party?
A printed book arrives about two weeks after you approve it, and no delivery date is promised. Start three weeks ahead to be safe. The digital edition arrives the same day and comes with every printed book.
What does the gift cost?
The paperback is $49 and the hardcover is $89. A gift card pays for any edition.

If You Want It As A Book
The texts from before the engagement are finished now. That makes it a tidy place to end a first volume. Or start with the free receipt.
