Custom Star Map Framed Print
Your sky, exactly as it was. This custom star map draws the stars that shone over the night you met, the night you said yes, or the night your family began, for your date, time and place, in the look you choose: gold on black, silver on navy, or a black sky on ivory, with the moon of that night if you like. Framed and ready to hang, it is the anniversary gift they keep for life.
How to Personalize Your Star Map
Design it right on this page. The preview draws your star map as you type, so you see the finished piece before you add it to your cart:
- Look: Gold on Black, Silver on Navy or Black on Ivory, and tick the box to add the moon of that night
- Names or title: exactly as you want it printed, like Emma & James
- Place: start typing the town or city, then pick it from the list
- Date: the day it happened
- Time, if you know it: leave it blank and we use 10 pm
- Extra line, if you like: a few words such as The night we met
What you see in the preview is what we print, so check the spelling of names and places before you order.
Why a Star Map Says It Better Than Words
Some nights you never forget. A star map keeps one of them on the wall: the real sky above the place where it happened, star for star, with your names and the date beneath it. It turns a memory into something you walk past every day, and every guest who asks gets to hear the story.
What You Get
TWO WAYS TO ORDER
Framed and ready to hang, or as an unframed print for a frame you already love. Choose the unframed print in the options and it arrives on its own, made to order on the same paper as our framed pieces, without a frame, plexiglass or hanging hardware. Everything on this page about the frame and hanging describes the framed version.
- The real sky of your moment, worked out from a professional star catalog, never a generic pattern
- A live preview of your finished design on this page, before you order
- Three looks to choose from, with your names, place, date and coordinates in an elegant italic serif
- The moon of that night in its true phase, if you add it
- Fade-resistant archival-quality inks on 200gsm matte fine-art paper
- Solid pine wood frame with shatterproof plexiglass, ready to hang
- Certificate of Authenticity, a physical 4x6" insert plus a digital certificate
How It Feels in Your Home
On the wall your sky reads like a window onto a clear night: gold or silver on a dark ground, or a black circle on soft ivory for a lighter room. Above a bed it feels intimate; in a hallway it becomes the piece people stop to read.

Star Map FAQs: Personalizing, Sizing, Shipping
Is this the real sky for my date and place?
Yes. We work out where every star stood for your date, time and place from a professional star catalog, then draw the stars you could see with your own eyes that night and their constellation lines. Two people who type the same moment and place get the same sky, because it is the real one.
What do I need to type?
Your names or a title, the place (start typing and pick it from the list), and the date. The time is optional: leave it blank and we use 10 pm. You can add one extra short line, like The night we met.
Will I see my design before I order?
Yes. The preview on this page draws your star map as you type: your sky, your names, the place and the date, in the look you pick. What you see there is what we print.
What if I don't know the exact time?
That's fine and very common. Leave the time blank and we draw the sky at 10 pm local time, a lovely starry hour. The stars shift slowly through the night, so the evening sky is a beautiful choice for any date.
Can I choose a date before I was born, or a future date?
Yes. Any date from 1900 to 2100 works, so a wedding day still to come, a grandparent's birthday or the night your parents met all draw correctly.
What if I make a spelling mistake?
We print exactly what you see in the preview, so check names and places there before you add it to your cart.
Does this come ready to hang?
Yes. Your piece arrives framed with hanging hardware already installed. Unwrap it and hang it. The unframed print, if you choose it, arrives on its own for a frame you already have.
How fast will my order arrive?
It is made to order in three to six days, then shipped. Your piece is produced at the facility closest to your address, chosen from 140+ locations across 32 countries, so it spends less time in transit.
What is this printed on?
Premium 200gsm fine-art paper with a matte finish, chosen for this design because matte keeps the sky soft and glare-free so every star reads clearly, whichever look you choose. It is printed with fade-resistant archival-quality inks.
How sturdy is the frame?
Solid pine wood with a shatterproof plexiglass front. The frame is built to last and arrives ready to hang with hardware pre-installed.
Which look and frame should I choose?
Gold on black is our most romantic look, silver on navy feels cool and calm, and ivory suits a light room. Black frames suit all three; white looks crisp on the ivory look, natural wood adds warmth beside the gold.
Can you add the moon?
Yes. Tick Add the moon of that night and we draw it at the top of the star map, in its true phase for your date and place, lit on the correct side for your half of the world.
What size should I get?
For a gift, 16x20" fits almost any room. Above a queen bed or a sofa, go 24x36". Above a king bed, 28x40". A shelf or desk suits 8x10".
What if it doesn't feel right when it arrives?
Every order is covered by our 30-Day Money-Back Guarantee, and after that it carries our Lifetime Quality Guarantee: if it ever fails on us, we replace it free, for as long as you own it. Personalized pieces are handled directly with our team rather than through the standard return flow, so just write to us and we'll take care of you.
Are the colors accurate to what I see online?
Yes. Archival inks reproduce each look faithfully. Your screen and room lighting can shift how it looks a little, but the design's palette comes through as shown.
Does it come with a Certificate of Authenticity?
Yes. Every order includes a digital Certificate of Authenticity confirming the piece as a genuine Sparkycare original, and framed prints also include a physical 4x6" insert in the box.
Is a star map a good anniversary gift?
Yes. It holds the exact night your story began, with your names and date, so it means something no shop-bought print can. Couples hang it above the bed or in the hallway and tell the story to everyone who asks.
