Small gestures, lasting memories
Which date should you put on a star certificate?
The date of a dedication may designate the moment celebrated rather than that of the purchase. Before filling out the certificate, choose what this date should tell the recipient. A simple and explained decision avoids misunderstandings, especially when an event has several stages.
A symbolic dedication in our private register.
Three dates you might choose and what each means
The gift date marks the day you offer your attention. The date of an event recalls a birth, a meeting or a ceremony. A souvenir date may refer to an important walk or trip without a formal occasion. For a wedding, distinguish between civil and celebration; for a diploma, result and presentation of the gift; for a move, keys and first evening. None of these options is universally better: choose the one that serves your message.
Be honest when you do not know the exact date
Consult a diary or your own exchanges if you want to find the exact day, then ask for confirmation when it does not spoil an important surprise. If you only have the month or year, don't make a specific day. You can write the date of the gift and mention “our summer by the sea” in the dedication. For a birth, death or adoption, the relatives concerned must be able to choose the information and the time they wish to keep.
Separate a commemorative date from a calculated sky
The personalized date of the remembrance may differ from the date of issue of the certificate. It does not claim that the chosen star occupied a particular position over a location that day. The certificate associates a dedication with a real reference in a private registry; A star chart is a separate product calculated for a date and location. Check the payment preview and then the confirmed PDF. If the meaning of the date is not obvious, a sentence in the accompanying card is enough to explain it without adding unnecessary personal information.
Words to make your own

Before preparing your gift
- Decide what the date should represent.
- Distinguish the stages of the same event.
