Why a first-dance canvas beats every registry gift

Registry gifts solve practical problems for the first 18 months of marriage and then quietly age into furniture or get replaced. A canvas of the first-dance song does the opposite — it grows in emotional weight every anniversary. Per AmourPrint's customer survey, the average wedding-gift canvas hangs in the recipient's home for 8.7 years.
