Someone once said that happy relationships are built on the ‘remember that time when we…’ effect, talking about shared memories. And I realized that we really don’t do that often enough. And that there have been so many moving moments in our history that we haven’t really documented. My parents used to send each other letters and post cards and stick pictures into a photo album. Nowadays, everything and more is saved in some digital cloud – nothing tangible. Our travels, birthday parties, concerts together – we’ll probably forget it all, or at least the details.
This is why I wanted to make something ‘real’ out of our digital memories. The best place to start where our WhatsApp messages. Fortunately, I discovered zapptales. They saved me the pain of formatting the WhatsApp chat myself and they print everything as a beautiful, unique book. I loved taking my time personalizing every detail and surprised my boyfriend with the book on our first anniversary. We spent the entire evening reading through our old chats. It was great fun going through these memories together. I recommend this WhatsApp chat book to all loved-up couples.
