โ“ Frequently Asked Questions

How many memories can fit in one book?

Unlimited, but sweet spot is 50-200 memories. Fewer than 50 feels thin, more than 200 gets unwieldy. We can split into volumes.

Can I edit memories just for the book without changing the digital version?

Yes! The book is a snapshot. Edit the book version without affecting your live Firefly Grove memories.

What if I have video or audio memories?

Videos become photo stills with captions. Audio gets transcribed to text. QR codes can link to online versions.

How long does printing take?

2-3 weeks for standard printing. Rush service available (1 week) for extra cost. Proof review adds a few days.

Can I order more copies later?

Yes, but re-printing is more expensive than ordering multiple copies initially. Order extras for siblings/cousins upfront.
