An honest note: Family Weekend Guide is a new site and our traffic is growing. We don't quote audience numbers yet. Instead, every sponsor gets a weekly performance report so you can judge results for yourself.

Runs in every city we cover.

Pick your weeks

Pick one or more dates to see your total.

Your creative (optional now: you can upload it after you pay)

PNG with a transparent background, at least 600 × 200 px (3:1). Used for “Presented by” and the email header.

Landscape JPEG or PNG, 1200 Ă— 800 px or larger, up to 10 MB. We crop it to 3:2 for the site and 600 Ă— 300 for email. A photo works best; no text-heavy images.

Up to 50 characters. Also your “Presented by” tagline.

Up to 155 characters (fits the site card and the email).

Up to 20 characters, e.g. “Learn more”. Email only.

Your https:// page. UTM parameters optional; we add ours if you don’t.

Once you continue, your dates are held for 30 minutes. Please complete payment within that time, or the hold will expire and you'll need to choose your dates again.

Payment by Stripe (card, Apple Pay, Google Pay), or an invoice for orders of $1,500 or more. Nothing goes live until we review it. See our change and refund policy.

FAQ

Is it labeled as an ad?

Yes. Paid spots are always clearly labeled: a Sponsored tag and a highlighted border on cards and email blocks, and “Presented by” on header spots. Sponsorship never changes which events we list or how we rank them.

What if I miss the upload deadline?

Your spot still runs, but Family Weekend Guide may build it using content from your website, and there's no refund for a missed upload. You confirm this when you book. Upload deadlines: Featured Partner and Weekend Takeover by Wednesday 5 PM ET the week before; email blocks by Tuesday (end of day ET) before that Thursday's send; Presenting and Welcome Email sponsors at least 5 business days before the start. Your exact dates are shown before you pay.

How do I pay?

By card through Stripe (Apple Pay and Google Pay work too). Your dates are held for 30 minutes while you check out. For orders of $1,500 or more you can choose “Send me an invoice” in the booking box instead: we email you a Stripe invoice and hold your dates until it's due (up to 5 days). If it isn't paid by then, the invoice is voided and the dates are released. Questions first? Talk to us first; we reply within one business day.

Can I change or cancel?

Yes, within our change and refund window. See our change and refund policy; the booking box shows your exact deadlines before you pay.
