Give the gift of a star digitally: Star naming PDF in 15 designs – wedding, birth, anniversary, christening, birthday | Named star

Give the gift of a star – as a digital star naming in 15 designs: for weddings, births, christenings, anniversaries, birthdays, engagements, or as a classic fairy tale. You give a symbolic star for an anniversary, birth, wedding, or just because. After your order, we register a real, cataloged star in our StarGift Registry with the desired name – uniquely, without ever assigning it again. You will receive a beautifully designed certificate as a PDF in A4 format: with the star's name, dedication, date, catalog number, coordinates, constellation, and a QR code that leads directly to your own star page on sterngeschenk.eu. There you can see the real sky around your star.

YOUR MOTIF – 15 DESIGNS TO CHOOSE FROM
Choose your design from the overview image (motif no. 01–15) and enter the number in the personalization field – there is no dropdown.
- Standard: our classic midnight blue and gold design
- 8 classics with original illustrations in the public domain: Alice in Wonderland, The Star Talers, The Snow Queen, One Thousand and One Nights, The Wizard of Oz, A Midsummer Night's Dream, From the Earth to the Moon, Star Chart Orion
- 6 occasion motifs: Wedding, Engagement, Anniversary, Birthday, Birth, Christening
For the occasion-themed designs, you can optionally provide additional information: Wedding/Engagement: two names; Anniversary: ​​two names, number of years, and "since" (year); Birthday: age; Birth: time, weight, and height. Without this information, we will create a neutral design with a star.
All designs cost the same. Name, dedication, date, star data and QR code are included with every design.
Illustrations of the classics: public domain originals (John Tenniel, Heinrich Vogeler, Edmund Dulac, W. W. Denslow, Arthur Rackham, Montaut, Bayer/Mair), adapted for SternGeschenk.

THIS IS HOW YOUR ORDER WORKS
1. You enter the motif number in the personalization field and write your details there.
2. We assign a still available, cataloged star and design the certificate.
3. Within 1–2 business days, we will send you your personal certificate as a PDF via an Etsy message. The file, which you can download immediately after purchase, explains the process.

THIS IS INCLUDED

- Download immediately after purchase: Information sheet “What happens next” (PDF)

Please note: Naming a star is a symbolic gift. The name will be recorded in our own Star Gift Registry and will not be reused by us. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) does not recognize purchased star names, and no one can own a star. The catalog number on the certificate belongs to a real, cataloged star, which you can find via the QR code on our website.

I am happy to answer any questions before purchase via an Etsy message.
