Wrap Your Memories: How to Design the Perfect Custom Photo Blanket


Why a Custom Photo Blanket (and Who It’s For)

A custom photo blanket turns everyday moments into a personalized blanket you can actually use. From wedding vows to a new baby or a goofy pet grin, your favorite memory becomes a cozy photo throw and a thoughtful, long-lasting gift.

Choose Size & Fabric Like a Pro

Start with a high-resolution image (aim for 3000px on the shortest side or 300 dpi) so your printed blanket looks crisp. For feel, pick what fits your space: a custom fleece blanket for lightweight vivid color; a custom sherpa blanket for extra warmth and texture; a woven photo blanket for an heirloom vibe. Smaller throws suit chairs and kids’ rooms; larger sizes are perfect for couches, movie nights, and layered bedding.

Layout, Care & Finishing Touches

Full-bleed prints feel cinematic; bordered layouts add gallery polish and protect faces from the hem. Add names, a date, or a short line of text for subtle caption energy. If the photo is dark or slightly blurry, we’ll enhance and gently retouch before printing.

Care is simple: machine wash cold, gentle cycle; tumble dry low with like fabrics and mild detergent. Colors stay bold, wash after wash.

Most importantly, design with feeling. A memory blanket isn’t just décor—it’s ritual: the Sunday nap, the porch swing at sunset, the comfort you reach for after a long day. Pick a moment you’ll love revisiting, and we’ll turn it into warmth you can wrap around—season after season, daily.
