After the wedding, the stationery that matters most is the stationery you keep. Brittaney Memories is a sentimental handwritten font, and this guide covers guest books, photo albums and keepsake prints that deserve a permanent place on a shelf.
Keepsakes are a second invitation
An invitation asks guests to come. A keepsake invites you to remember. The same care that goes into the first piece of stationery belongs on the last, because these are the objects people take out years later.
Handwritten-style lettering suits this purpose naturally, since memories feel personal and unhurried.
Five keepsakes worth lettering
- Guest book cover with names and date.
- Photo album title page and chapter dividers.
- Wedding date print for the wall.
- Anniversary cards sealed to open in future years.
- Memory box labels for tickets, cards and flowers.
Writing captions
A good caption is short, specific and dated. A few words and a year say more than a long paragraph, and they age well.
- Name the moment, for example First dance.
- Add the place or people in a simple line.
- Add the date in small plain type.
Archival choices
- Paper: choose acid-free paper for anything meant to last.
- Ink: pigment-based inks tend to resist fading better than dye-based ones.
- Storage: keep keepsakes away from direct sunlight and humidity.

Frequently asked questions
What paper is best for keepsakes?
Acid-free paper is a safe choice for anything meant to last, because it resists yellowing over time.
Can I use this font for anniversary cards?
Yes. A card lettered now and sealed to open on a future anniversary makes a lovely tradition.
How should I label a memory box?
Use a short title, a year and a simple category on each label, so contents are easy to find later.
