What to engrave on wedding coins: names, date, words, and signatures
Thirteen coins allow for more text than it seems, and that’s the decision that distinguishes keepsake coins from catalog coins. You can engrave names, the date, your words, and on the back side, even your own signatures.

The most common form is the obvious one: the two names and the wedding date. It always fulfills and is understood. But since there are thirteen pieces, you can spread one word per coin, turning the set into a phrase that is read when laid out.
The most requested are values —respect, patience, humor— because they work well spread out and can be mentioned during the ceremony. It’s a reading of the gesture that fits what the coins symbolize: what is shared.
And there’s an option that almost no one expects: on the back side you can engrave your signatures, a line drawing, or initials, for an additional cost. The signature is the most personal thing you can put on metal because it cannot be replicated.
What can be engraved, piece by piece
The same laser engraving used on the coins is applied to the wooden pieces of the set.

Frequently asked questions
How many characters fit on each arra?
It depends on what is engraved: a short name and a date fit comfortably on a 27 mm coin. For long texts, it’s reasonable to spread them across several coins rather than crowding them onto one.
Does the engraving wear off over time?
No. The laser modifies the surface of the steel; it does not deposit anything on top, so there is no layer that can chip or fade.
Can it be engraved on both sides?
Yes. The front side carries the design and text, and on the back you can engrave initials, a line drawing, or your signatures for an additional cost.
How do you send the signatures?
Just a clear photo of the signatures made on white paper. From there, they are prepared for engraving while preserving the strokes.
Can I put the date in another format?
Yes. You choose the format: day and month, the full date, or just the year if you prefer something cleaner.
Decide what your thirteen coins say
Names and date, one word per coin or your signatures. The engraving is permanent, so the only tough decision is what to put.
