Why Families Choose Our Milestone Birthday Gifts

Some birthdays deserve more than a card. A milestone collage gathers the photos that tell their story, from the first birthday to the grandkids, into the number they're celebrating. It's the gift guests gather around at the party and the one that stays on display long after.

I lay out every design myself: a real graphic designer, no templates. Then each piece is CNC-cut from 1/2-inch plywood by a Navy veteran and hand-finished by me in Raeford, NC.

Milestone Birthday Questions

How far ahead should I order?

Please allow about three weeks from the day you send your photos. Party coming up sooner? Ask about rush when you order and we'll tell you what we can do.

How many photos do I need?

For a collage: 30–40 photos for 12", 40–50 for 15", 50–60 for 18", 50–80 for 24" and 60–100 for 36". Have fewer? Send your favorites and we'll help you choose.

What's the difference between painted and unpainted numbers?

Painted numbers arrive finished in your choice of 18 colors. Unpainted numbers are sanded smooth and ready for you to paint or decorate. Both are priced per digit.

Which number style should I choose?

Classic matches our birthday collages. Slim has narrower lines, so it's great for three-digit birthdays like 100. Block is chunky and squared, in our jersey-style font.

Will it stand up on the party table?

Yes. Add a matching stand for each digit: $10 for 12", 15" or 18", $15 for 24" and $25 for 36".

Can guests sign the numbers at the party?

Yes, and it's one of our favorite ideas. Set a painted or unpainted number out with paint pens and have guests write their birthday wishes. Seal it with a clear glaze afterward and it becomes a guest book they'll keep for years.

Can you make an age that isn't listed?

Yes. Every piece is made to order, so we can make any number. Request a custom commission or call or text Crystal at 910-302-3066.
