Name a Star for an Anniversary
An anniversary is a measurement of something permanent. A named star is the same thing: a fixed point in the sky that will be there on every anniversary that follows, year after year, decade after decade.
When you name a star for an anniversary, you're creating a record that lasts as long as the sky does. The Starmint's blockchain certificate means the registration is permanent and independently verifiable — not a private database that could be taken offline, but a public record on the Polygon blockchain that no one can alter or delete.
Why a Named Star Works for Anniversaries
Anniversary gifts are hard. The traditional material gifts — paper, cotton, leather, silver, gold — feel dated for most people, and the pressure to escalate year over year is real. A named star sidesteps all of that. It's not on the traditional list, which is part of the point: it's not a category of gift at all. It's a specific star in the specific sky, bearing both your names (or one, if you prefer), documented on the blockchain with your anniversary date in the dedication.
The celestial permanence is real. Stars live for billions of years. The star you name today will still be in the night sky on your 25th, 50th, and 75th anniversaries — and that fact is not marketing language. It's astronomy.
Anniversary Occasions
First anniversary
A first anniversary is the first time you've marked a full year. A named star is a first-anniversary gift with scale — not a card and flowers, but a permanent registration. Something that says "this was worth documenting in the sky."
Fifth anniversary
Five years is a real milestone. A star named for both of you, with your anniversary date in the dedication, marks the five-year point with something that lasts as long as your relationship will.
Twenty-fifth anniversary (silver)
A quarter century together deserves something that matches its weight. A named star with a dedication that holds 25 years — the date you got married, where you were, the first line of your vows — is a 25th-anniversary gift with the gravity the occasion calls for.
Fiftieth anniversary (golden)
Fifty years. The sky has been there for all of it. A star named for two people who have kept something going for half a century is exactly the right gift for the milestone. The certificate carries the date, and the registration is recorded permanently.
Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day gifts tend toward the ephemeral: flowers that fade, chocolates that are eaten, reservations that become a memory. A named star is a Valentine's Day gift that stays. The sky looks the same on every February 14th that follows — and your star is in it.
Naming a Star for Two People
The star name can be anything you choose: both names (Sarah & James), a phrase, or a date. The dedication is where the personal text lives — your anniversary date, something you want to say about what the relationship means, the place you got married. It can be up to 570 characters and appears on the certificate beside the star's celestial coordinates.
What You're Giving
A real star
Every Starmint star is a genuine catalogued astronomical object at specific right ascension and declination coordinates. You choose it yourself, by constellation, by zodiac sign, or by the night sky over a place that matters to you both, and you can find it together on a clear evening with Stellarium, a free planetarium app.
A permanent record
The registration is recorded on the Polygon blockchain. From your star's page under My Stars, View on Blockchain opens the public record. Not a private database — a public blockchain. It will be there on every anniversary that follows.
Physical gift options
A framed and mounted print of your star chart gives you something to hang at home: a physical anchor for something that lives in the sky. Mugs, hoodies, coasters and cushions are available too. All are made to order and sold separately from the registration.
