Ideas For Your Husband's Wedding Band Engraving

There are endless ways to personalise a wedding band, from traditional engravings to funny phrases, numeric combinations, and even images. The most popular engravings are initials, names, and significant dates, such as the wedding date or the date of the first kiss. Couples also choose to engrave romantic quotes, religious verses, or jokes that only they will understand. For those who want to get creative, a unique approach is to split a saying or image between two rings, such as I found my other half / My other half found me or a fingerprint engraved onto the band.

Dates

The Wedding Date

Engrave your wedding date so you and your spouse never forget your anniversary. This is a classic and timeless option that adds a touch of sophistication to your wedding band. You can represent the date in a variety of formats, such as 05/28/2016, 5.28.2016, or May 28, 2016.

The Engagement Date

The day you got engaged is another significant milestone worth commemorating. Engrave the date to celebrate the moment you decided to spend forever together.

The Day You Met

This date represents the beginning of your love story and is worth remembering. Engraving this date is a beautiful way to honour the day your paths first crossed.

The Day You Fell in Love

Sometimes, the day you met and the day you fell in love might be different. Mark this special moment in your relationship by engraving the date when Cupid's arrow struck.

Other Significant Dates

You might also consider engraving other important dates, such as the day of your first date, your first kiss, or any other relationship milestone that holds a special place in your heart.

When engraving dates, you can use a combination of digits and written words, depending on your preference and the space available. For example, you could use a format like DD/MM/YYYY or DD.MM.YYYY, or write it out completely, such as "May 5, 2023."

Remember, the space for engraving on wedding bands is often limited, so keep the message concise and sweet. Additionally, consider combining date engravings with other elements, such as initials, names, symbols, or short sentiments, to create a unique and meaningful inscription.

Names and initials

There are many ways to incorporate names and initials into your wedding band engraving. A popular option is to include your initials and the date of your wedding, for example, "AB + CD" or "A + C 5/22/2014". You could also choose to include your first or middle names in the interior of the ring, or go with a combination of both your initials, such as "ABC-DEF".

If you're looking for a more playful take, you could randomise the initials of your names, or include a fun twist such as "Property of [your name]". You could also opt for a combination of both your names or initials on each ring, for example, "SPOUSE & WEARER". Another idea is to include a significant location, such as your favourite vacation spot or the street where you first lived together.

For those who want to incorporate names or initials in a more subtle way, you could go for a monogram of your new shared initials. If you're looking for a combination of both names and dates, you could include the date you first said "I love you" or your engagement date.
