A fingerprint heart wedding keepsake from the couple’s ink prints
A wedding produces plenty of photos but few objects that carry both people in a literal way. A fingerprint heart wedding keepsake joins one real ink print from each partner into a single heart, with your names and wedding date if you want them.
Our Imprint works from phone photos of the actual prints, processed in your browser. It does not generate or redraw fingerprints, so what hangs on your wall is your own ink.

Ways to use it around the wedding
- Make the prints at the signing table, right after the register is signed, and frame the artwork for your first home.
- Use the artwork-only version on a welcome sign, a guestbook cover, or the back of a thank-you card.
- Give a framed print to parents or the wedding party as a thank-you that includes both of you.
- Bridesmaids, groomsmen, or friends can make it as a gift by asking the couple for two inked prints ahead of the day.
How to make it, step by step
- Press each fingertip lightly on an ink pad, then press it down firmly onto plain white paper and lift straight up — do not roll. One clean print beats three smudged ones.
- Photograph each print with your phone in even daylight, straight on, with no shadow from your hand or phone.
- Open the creator on ourimprint.ca and add both photos. They are processed in your browser and are not uploaded.
- Add names, a date, and a short message, or leave them off for an artwork-only version.
- Check the free preview. When you are happy, choose Essential or Signature and download the PNG and printing guide.
Getting clean prints on a busy day
Weddings are rushed, so take the prints before the day if you can. Keep a small ink pad, wipes, and a few sheets of plain paper in an envelope. Take several prints from each person and pick the clearest later. Photograph them in daylight near a window; indoor evening light often adds a yellow cast and soft focus.
If you want the personalized version, double-check name spellings and the date format before you download. You can also keep the artwork-only version for signage where names would be repeated elsewhere.
Choosing a package
Essential is CA$19 / US$15: one composition with personalized and artwork-only versions in every print size. Signature is CA$29 / US$23: three compositions (Classic, Split, and Intertwined), all in the colours you choose. Both are a digital download (high-resolution PNG and printing guide); you can also order a printed and framed copy shipped to your door. The preview is free.
For weddings, Signature is often worth it: the Split and Intertwined compositions give you options for a sign and a framed print that do not look identical.
Keeping it a surprise? Give a gift certificate
Gift it now, they make it later. Choose Essential or Signature, tick “This is a gift” before checkout, and print the certificate that appears after payment. It carries a redeem code valid for 12 months. The recipient goes to ourimprint.ca/recover, enters the code, and adds their own two ink prints. Same price, nothing extra to buy.
Hoping to gift a print? A print is made from the recipient’s own two fingerprints, so it can’t be made ahead of time. Give a gift certificate instead: the recipient adds their own prints and creates their artwork — that is what the certificate covers — and from that finished artwork they can order a matte or framed print. The print is a separate order.

Questions
Can we use the artwork on wedding stationery?
Yes. The download is a high-resolution PNG, so you can place it on signs and cards you print for your own wedding.
Are our fingerprint photos uploaded anywhere?
No. Photos, names, date, and message are processed in your browser. Checkout does not upload your fingerprint photos.
Can a guest make this as a gift for the couple?
Yes, as long as the couple gives you their prints and is happy for you to use them.
Can you print and frame it for me?
Want it printed for you? You can order a matte print (5×7 CA$29, 8×10 CA$39, 12×16 CA$49) or a framed print in black or oak (8×10 CA$79, 12×16 CA$109), shipped free to Canada and the US in about 1–2 weeks; international shipping to the UK, EU, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Australia and New Zealand is a flat CA$15 (import VAT or duties may apply). Printed by our print partner, Printful, and it includes the Signature digital files. A print cannot be sent as a gift certificate; order it with your own two prints and ship it to the recipient. If the print should be made from the recipient’s own prints, give a gift certificate instead: they create the artwork first, then can order a print of it.
