Choose Song Lyric Canvas if

Your song has lyrics that are deeply meaningful and you want them visible. You want guests to read and recognize the song. You love the typographic art aesthetic. The song is a cover, hymn, ballad, or anything where the words ARE the song. Couples who chose lyric canvas most often: country songs, indie folk, classic rock ballads, religious music, country first-dance songs.

Choose Soundwave Art if

The audio source is meaningful but private (a voice memo, a vow recording, a baby's laugh, a voicemail from someone you have lost). Or the song is instrumental (a piano piece, a movie score, a wedding processional). Or you want a more abstract, modern art look that does not announce 'this is a song lyric canvas.' Couples who chose soundwave most often: voice recordings, instrumentals, hymns where the recording matters more than the words.

Or buy both

Many couples build a 'his and hers' set: lyric canvas in one room (the words she chose) + soundwave canvas in another (the song he danced to). Use code SET10 at checkout for 10 percent off when you buy both formats of related designs.

Why customers switch to us

There is no wrong answer between these two. The choice comes down to whether the words or the audio is the soul of the gift. Lyric canvas lets the words do the work. Soundwave lets the recording itself become the art. Both are made the same way, both last 50+ years, both ship the same week. If you cannot decide, the SET10 discount lets you bring both home for less than buying separately.
