Engraving men’s wedding rings
To engrave or not to engrave…?
Many men have a wedding ring, so how can you make yours truly stand out? Is there anything you can add that will make it unique, and truly yours?
One of the ways to give your men’s wedding ring this special touch is to have it engraved.
While it ultimately comes down to personal preference, choosing to engrave your ring can increase the special value it holds for you.
Whether sentimental, funny, or meaningful in some other way, there’s no doubt engraving can make your men’s wedding ring mean more.
This week, we explore why men choose to engrave their wedding rings, and inspire you with ideas for your own ring.
How engraving your ring makes it mean more
Engraving adds extra meaning to your wedding ring which can bring lasting rewards.
Engraving your men’s wedding ring makes it truly unique
Engraved men’s wedding rings can be totally unique.
You can choose a design for your engraving that is 100% yours.
Whether you are expressing personal sentiments, adding dates or initials, or maybe some humour within your ring, your choices are endless… you’ve got up to 40 characters to make your wedding ring unique!
With engraving your wedding ring can have an individual design you will treasure.
Engrave your wedding band to include sentimental value
We know your wedding ring will be special to you. Men’s wedding rings are lasting symbols of an important occasion.
Engraving men’s wedding rings can make sentimental connection to them even greater.
Whether a personal sentiment, dates, or initials, whatever you choose to engrave on your wedding ring has special meaning.
A special part of preparing for your wedding day can be choosing a lasting message for your ring; something you will always be reminded of every time you see it.
A special engraving creates a lasting memory
A wedding ring is one of just a few elements from your wedding that you will look at beyond the single day.
This means your men’s wedding ring can help to keep memories of your wedding in the same way as your favourite wedding photos. It’s a lasting reminder of your wedding celebration and life-long commitment to your new partner.
Whatever message you choose, it will remind you of not only your special day, but the incredible journey you’re set out to take as the next chapter of your life begins.
Examples of engravings
The choices are almost endless when it comes to engraving your men’s wedding band.
It’s a matter of choosing the engraving that means the most to you!
Some examples may help you think about how engraving could add meaning to your wedding ring.
Dates
With your anniversary engraved on your wedding there’s now no excuse for forgetting the flowers and chocolate!
Names and initials
You may also like to include the first name or initials of your special someone to personalise your ring and make it mean more.
Engrave your new partner’s initials on their own, or along with a special word and the date of your wedding.
Some initial ideas include:
- D.P to L.P 20 July (include your wedding date)
- C.L & S.M Eternity (add a special word, like Always, Forever, or Eternity)
- C&D (using both your first initials)
Other words or quotes
Although initials, names and dates are popular, there are some more inventive options you might like to consider.
Favourite song lyrics, quotes, Bible verses… these are just some of the ways people are engraving their wedding rings to add even more meaning and sentiment.
Parts of your wedding vows and special phrases (even in foreign languages!) are also a growing trend – these can fit well within the 40 character limit.
Romantic quotes
- To have and to hold
- I thee wed
- Truly, madly, deeply
- French – I love you – Je t’aime
- Italian – I love you – Ti amo
Funny quotes
Got a bit of a funny bone? Want to include a bit of cheek? Some stand-out humorous quotes and phrases we’ve seen over the years include:
- Put me back on!
- Stuck with my for life
- Happy wife, happy life
- Kiss me fool / Kiss me, quick!
- I put a ring on it
- I’m a lucky man
It might be humorous or something special only you and your partner understand. As long as it fits within 40 characters we can include it!
Since the engraving goes on the inner part of your men’s wedding band, what you choose to engrave is entirely up to you, and doesn’t need to be known by anyone other than you and your partner.
This fun little secret is something you can choose to keep just between the two of you!
