Engraving, that ageless process of cutting or incising a design into a hard surface, adds a personal and unique touch to gifts. When one considers all of the planning and heart that goes into creating a flawless wedding day, that exclusive touch of engraving seems the ideal way to thank treasured guests for sharing in an event of a lifetime. Engraved wedding favors not only bring with them an extra touch of class, but they will forever carry your own individual mark or message.

Classic Engraving Choices
The unmatched personal touch of engraved wedding favors makes them a favorite choice among many couples. The permanence of an engraved initial, letter, or message perfectly mirrors the inspiration between two people uniting in marriage. Whether you prefer traditional, classic gifts or wholly modern and original ideas, engraving can complement each choice with uniqueness.

The following list of items encompasses some great ideas for engraved wedding favors:
  • Flutes and server sets
  • Barware
  • Frames
  • Photo albums
  • Jewelry
  • Lighters
  • Clocks and timepieces
  • Key chains
  • Carabiners
  • Crystal

Trinket boxes make especially whimsical wedding favors, and they are just right for holding a specially engraved message. Presented as lovely decorative remembrances or vessels filled with gourmet candies, they will become precious gifts. Paired with a selection of personalized candy, such as M&MĀ?s (produced with your own names or message), an engraved trinket box would become an even sweeter gift idea.

Engraving miniature clocks is also a symbolic and classy wedding favor. Messages can include the "time" motif with phrases like, "time for true love" or "love knows no time" and guests will be sure to enjoy their new time pieces.

What's Your Perfect Engraved Message?
Once you have determined that you would like to honor your guests with engraved wedding favors, you will need to decide just what you wish to have engraved. Some couples prefer to engrave just their first names and the date of the wedding. Whether you have chosen to engrave special jewelry for your bridal party or key chains for all of your guests, this simple engraving choice will always remind recipients of the wonder of your day.

Maybe you would prefer a quote or song lyric that reflects the bond of your love or one that carries a special meaning. Consider engraving the name of the song of your first dance, or an original line or two that best describes your promise to each other.

Another personal and thoughtful engraving idea is to remind your guests how important they are to you. Engravings such as "thank you", "you helped complete our wedding", or even "with love" are simple yet meaningful reminders that will show your guests that they are cherished.

Online engraving sites and wedding planners will also be able to offer varied suggestions for wedding favors, specific wordings and popular phrasings. Engraving styles vary greatly with letter size, font selection, and placement design.

Engraved wedding favors show extra care in gift planning, extra love in gift giving, and the permanence reflected in your hearts as your begin your married lives together.
