A wedding gift no registry can match.
We help people connect more deeply with the ones they love — by turning the life you've already lived together into the game you play together.
The registry has the blender covered. A unique wedding gift tells the couple's story back to them: how they met, the terrible first apartment, the proposal — illustrated onto a real board their families can play at the rehearsal dinner and every anniversary after. Give the gift the whole table fights over.
The cards call people out by name — and every one passes our Table Test before it prints.

Conversation starters hand you a question and hope. We hand you your own story.
Their story from first date to 'I do', illustrated stop by stop
Cards both families can play — trivia, toasts, and gentle roasts
Group-gift friendly: one person fills the form, everyone signs the card
What a card actually looks like.
Table trivia: what did Maya actually say when Sam proposed? Closest guess from the room advances 2 — the couple confirms.
An illustrative example — yours is built from the place, person, or story you actually tell us.
Watch how-they-met become the rehearsal-dinner game — 30 seconds.

We're new — and you'd be one of the first. StoryBeacon is a small studio, and every board so far has been made by hand for someone we know. No stock reviews, no borrowed hype. Just this: you see and approve every card and the full board before anything prints. If it isn't right, we redraw it.

Isn't this like those conversation-card decks?
We love them. They proved millions of people want deeper conversations at the table — and they were right. Their cards just have one structural problem they can never solve: they're printed a million times, so they have to work for a million tables. Which means they can never work for yours. They can ask you a great question about family traditions. They cannot ask you about the '72 road trip, or the apartment with the broken heater, or the fact that Dad still hasn't admitted he got everyone lost in Rome. Conversation starters hand you a question and hope. We hand you your own story.
I don't know all their stories — can I still give this?
Yes — two good options: gather stories quietly from friends and family, or send a gift card and let the couple fill the form themselves (that's half the fun).
Will it arrive before the wedding?
Boxed games arrive in about 2–3 weeks door to door on the standard queue. When it's tight, Rush (~10 days, $29) or an instant gift card saves the day.
Is it appropriate for both families?
You set the tone — from fully wholesome to playful — and you approve every single card before it prints. Nothing lands on the table you haven't read.
