FAQs - Timeline Story Slate

How many milestones can I include on one Timeline Story slate?

This depends on the layout you choose. Some designs focus on 3 big milestones, while others can show 5 or 7 smaller steps. For readability, we recommend fewer, clearer milestones rather than many crowded ones, especially on smaller slates.

What kind of photos are best for a timeline design?

Choose one strong image for each step – not too busy, with the main subject clear. For example, one photo for “We Met”, one for “Engagement”, one for “Wedding Day”, or one per month for a baby’s first year. Try to keep style and brightness consistent so the story feels coherent.

How long can each caption be?

Short, simple captions work best. A date plus a few words (like “June 2020 – Our First Home”) is easier to read and looks cleaner on the slate than long sentences. If the text is too long, we may shorten it slightly to protect readability.

Can I mix different types of events in one timeline?

Yes. You can combine any milestones that tell the story you want – relationship milestones, family moves, career achievements, travel steps, or a mix of life events. The important thing is that the order and captions clearly show how the story unfolds over time.

Where is a good place to display a Timeline Story slate?

Timeline Story slates work beautifully in spaces where people pause and look – living‑room shelves, hallways, stair landings, bedrooms or home offices. They are conversation starters that invite others to follow your journey from left to right or top to bottom.
