Why Couples Choose Ownstory for Anniversaries
Unlike social media posts that get buried, your anniversary story is private, permanent, and designed to be gifted. Plus, easily collect money from contributors for a group anniversary gift.
Private & Permanent
This isn't social media. No public feeds, no algorithms, no strangers. Your story stays private — only people you invite can see it. And it lasts forever, not just 24 hours.
Not like Instagram stories that vanish, or Facebook posts anyone can see.
Group Gift Built In
Pool money from the group, and let the birthday person pick the gift card they actually want. No more guessing, no more duplicate gifts. Delivered straight to their mobile wallet.
$5, $10, $50 — every bit counts
Amazon, Uber Eats, Apple, Spotify & more
Apple Wallet or Google Wallet — tap to use
Messages + gift card together in one beautiful story. No separate apps needed.
“I created an anniversary story for my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. When they revealed 52 messages from family and friends at their party, there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Dad said it was the most meaningful gift they'd ever received - better than any jewelry or vacation.”
