Thank you for all the work on the wedding gift for my friend. It was perfect! She’ll use it for years. This is now my go to wedding gift. – Angela, Austin, Texas<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

There are so many ways that you can make this wedding gift creative and unique, showing your thoughtfulness and the recipients\u2019 personalities. A great idea, but what to engrave on a cutting board?<\/strong><\/em> Here are some helpful hints so you can create your own masterpiece!
\n1. Names<\/strong> \u2013 There is nothing boring about \u201cjust\u201d engraving the bride and groom\u2019s names, especially with so many fonts to choose from. Using an elegant or fun font adds a lot of personality and can even match the style of their kitchen or their wedding! Include the wedding date or location to make it extra personal.
\n2. Date<\/strong> \u2013 To create a formal look put the date of their wedding under their names or initials. The date should be a smaller size than the names and not much wider. More traditional fonts like Times New Roman work better on smaller text as it is more easily read on personalized bamboo cutting boards for wedding gifts.<\/p>\n

3. Artwork<\/strong> \u2013 An image is worth a thousand words, right? We have many image choices in the clip art gallery (or you can use any royalty free image from the internet), this is the perfect addition to the names and date. Do your friends have a beloved dog? Like to travel? Enjoy nature? Find an image that suits them, or send in your own!
\n4. Placement –<\/strong> For best layout any text should be under the image so that it aligns visually with the bottom edge of the board.<\/p>\n

We ordered this cutting board from you for our daughter and she loved it. Thank you for the service. – Bonita<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

For placement, we recommend a corner so that the main area of your personalized cutting board is available for chopping – without chopping up the engraving. Bottom right or top left is most common. If your design is more elongated, across the top or bottom also looks great.
\nNow that you have these ideas, test them out! Using a piece of paper (if you prefer it) or a graphics layout program (if you are computer savvy) in landscape layout sketch out your idea until you have found the perfect arrangement.
\nThen just select the fonts (see our list or use yours) and artwork you want (see our Clipart Gallery here), write any layout instructions in the special instructions box, and order!
\nWe will send a mockup of your personalized wedding cutting board<\/a> (or custom cutting board for any other occasion) for your approval prior to laser engraving it in our Colorado facility.
\nWhen choosing a custom engraved cutting board<\/a> for a wedding, you have a few options for wood type – bamboo, most popular, and maple, which is also a hard wood. I recommend bamboo for several reasons:<\/p>\n
