A relationship Wrapped should feel like a loving annual report written by someone who knows where the bodies are buried. Combine true numbers, suspiciously subjective rankings, and photographs that prove the story.
A twelve-slide structure
Use this order as a starting point, then remove anything that does not fit your relationship.
- Opening cover: one photograph and a title only you would use.
- Time together: the date the story actually began, not necessarily the official date.
- The archive: a grid of candid moments from different months.
- The masterpiece: one blurred photograph they tap to reveal.
- Your soundtrack: three to eight songs with a reason for each.
- Words of the year: real recurring phrases, deliberate typos, and private vocabulary.
- Screen time: films, series, games, or videos that became shared rituals.
- The route so far: local places and trips in one illustrated journey.
- Top five dates: rank memorable dates and defend each controversial choice.
- Memory orbit: photographs that come forward when selected.
- Where it started: the first photograph, message, or place you kept.
- To be continued: one typed sentence about the next chapter.
Use numbers that reveal personality
Do not invent impressive statistics. Count things you can verify or label estimates honestly. ‘Approximately 38 cups of tea abandoned halfway through’ is better than a fake message total.
Useful categories include trains missed, recipes attempted, photographs where nobody was ready, films paused to argue, airports crossed, and times one person stole the duvet.
Make rankings affectionately debatable
Rank dates, meals, accidental adventures, gifts, or quotes. Give each item a title, photograph, and one-line ruling. The list should invite a response rather than present itself as objective truth.
A strong example is ‘Top five dates that were not officially dates’, because the category already tells a story.
Keep captions specific and short
A good caption adds information the photograph cannot show: ‘The café closed twenty minutes earlier’ or ‘You still had the train ticket in your pocket.’ Avoid explaining the emotion already visible in the image.
End before the idea wears out
Ten excellent slides beat sixteen padded ones. Use contrast, let photographs breathe, and finish with a sentence addressed to your partner rather than an audience.
Turn the outline into a gift
