About printing an address

This is worth a moment's thought, because it is the one real objection to a poster of somebody's home. You decide how close the map goes: pulled back to the neighbourhood, nobody can tell which building it is, and the poster still means what it is meant to mean.

The coordinate line can also be switched off entirely. Leave it off, frame the neighbourhood rather than the door, and the gift says where without saying exactly where.

Timing it

The useful window is the first month. Walls are empty, nothing is framed yet, and a poster arriving then actually gets hung — where the same gift three months later goes in a drawer behind the good plates.

Because the file is delivered immediately, you can decide the day before and still print in time. That is usually how housewarming presents get bought.

The old place and the new one

A pair works better than one: the flat they left and the house they moved into, in the same style, hung side by side. It marks the move rather than only the arrival.

Keep both at the same zoom so the two maps feel like the same kind of picture. Different zooms make them look unrelated even when the style matches.

Questions people ask

Is it safe to print somebody's address?
You control the zoom and whether coordinates appear at all. Framed at neighbourhood level with the coordinate line off, the poster shows the area without identifying the building.
Can I leave the coordinates off?
Yes. Every line of text is optional, coordinates included.
What if they have not moved in yet?
The map does not mind. You can make the poster as soon as the address is known and print it whenever you like, since a file does not expire the way a delivery slot does.
