Choose Your Engraving Carefully

As you choose what to have engraved, think long-term. This is a once-in-a-lifetime decision, after all! That said, wedding band engraving ideas don’t have to be boring! If a silly message is meaningful to you, that’s all that counts. Here are some ideas to get you started.

1. Names or Initials

If you want to keep it simple and sweet, you can’t go wrong with your names or initials. There’s no need to overthink it—get each other’s, your own, or both!

2. Significant Dates

Another tried-and-true classic, a significant date marks the moment in time forever. Whether it’s the day you met or the day you tied the knot, a date will always bring back beautiful memories.

3. Inside Jokes

When it comes to fun wedding band engraving ideas, it doesn’t get any better than inside jokes. It can be a special word, phrase, or nickname you have for each other. Just because a message is funny doesn’t mean it can’t be romantic, too. Some of life’s most precious moments are spent laughing hysterically.

4. Split Phrases

If you’re trying to brainstorm unique ring engraving ideas, consider splitting a phrase between the two rings. For example, one could say “two souls,” and the other could say “one heart.” “Forever…” on one, “...and ever” on the other. “To infinity…” on his, “...and beyond” on hers. These are just a few examples, but you may have even more creative ideas of your own. The possibilities are endless.

5. Meaningful Quotes

Is there a quote that perfectly captures your relationship? It doesn’t necessarily have to be a quote from a famous or historical person. Do some reminiscing as you come up with wedding band engraving ideas. You could choose a passage from your vows or a love letter, or find a poignant line from a movie, book, scripture, poem, or song.
