Do you put the dating app name on the canvas?

Only if you specifically ask. Default is to leave it off — most couples prefer 'March 2019' and city names rather than 'Met on Hinge.' You'll see the layout in the free 24-hour designer preview.

What if we don't remember the exact first-message date?

Month and year is plenty. We typeset 'March 2019' just as well as a full date. If you only remember the season, 'Spring 2019 — two cities, one road' reads beautifully.

The "we met online" anniversary problem

For years, couples who met on Hinge, Bumble, Tinder, Match, or Coffee Meets Bagel felt mildly weird about commemorating it. Pew Research now shows roughly 1 in 3 US couples met online, but the gift market hasn't caught up. Anniversary cards still show people meeting at a coffee shop. Yours didn't.

The meet-cute canvas fixes that. You don't have to put the app name on it. What goes on the canvas: the date of the first message, the two city names (or "Miles apart: 1,247"), and the lyrics of the song that played the first time you finally met in person.

What to include on the canvas

First message date — month + year is enough. "March 2019."
Two cities + miles apart — beautifully geographic. Optional.
Song lyrics — first dance, road-trip song, or "the one playing when I picked you up from the airport."
Anniversary year — "5 years. 1,827 days. Worth every mile."

Songs our online-met couples pick most

A Thousand Years, Make You Feel My Love, Bless the Broken Road, Can't Help Falling in Love, and Tennessee Whiskey dominate. The "Broken Road" pick is poetic — literally about the long route that led to the right person, which is exactly what a dating app is.

What we include free

Free hanging frame, free 24-hour designer preview, free unlimited revisions, and 5-7 day standard production (2-3 day rush available).

What customers say

"We met on Hinge in 2020 from two different states. I gave him a canvas with our first-message date and the lyrics from the song we sang on FaceTime for the first six months. He stared at it for a full minute before he could speak." — S.K., AmourPrint customer
