What Started VID?

The inspiration for Very Important Date began in 1994 when Sandra’s daughter Maya was born. To document her birth and family history, Sandra developed a flyer that included information about Maya, the origin of her name, her family’s history including grandparents, great grandparents, family members sharing the same birthdate and month, family events, as well as national and international events that occurred in the month and on the date of her daughter’s birth. Fast forward to 2020, the inspiration was rekindled with the birth of Sandra’s first grandchild, Ila.

Very Important Date provides custom designed posters suitable for framing to commemorate your Very Important Date. VID is a historical celebration of events that occurred on the day, month, and year of an individual’s birth or special occasion. Special occasions include births, commemorative birthdays (i.e., 30th 50th, etc.), weddings, anniversaries, graduations, reunions, or any other special event.  The poster is customized to the individual(s) or special event.

Very Important Date is unique in that it takes information provided by the client and customizes it to include significant family history, national and international historical facts, human interests, and other significant contributions that occurred on that date or year. Very Important Date posters are an ideal gift for birthdays, anniversary, baby dedications, class reunions, and other celebrated events. Very Important Date posters will become family keepsakes for generations to come.
