Personalized for your officiant

“Proud to be your first” headline with leafy flourishes and heart accents
Your officiant’s name in the greeting
A playful thank-you message
Your names and wedding date beneath the message

The pictured message reads: “Dear Ernie, You made our union legal! Now here’s a board for all your pounding, chopping, and other questionable kitchen activities. Thanks for making our wedding a cut above the rest!” It is signed “Love, Peter & Dan” with the date “10/10/26.” The names and date shown are examples only and will be replaced with your details.

Choose your cutting board

Choose from styles 1–48 using the numbered selection charts in the listing photos. Each chart shows the board’s material, shape, and measurements. Materials across the selection include acacia, bamboo, cherry, maple, and walnut. Material and dimensions depend on the style selected; not every style is available in every wood.

The featured photos show a wooden board with gently curved edges and a juice groove on the engraved face. Other styles will differ in shape, features, color, grain, and engraving appearance. Refer to the numbered style charts for the measurements and details of your chosen board.

Natural differences in grain and color make each board unique. Decorative props are not included.

Personalization details

In the personalization field, provide your officiant’s name, your names exactly as you would like them engraved, and your wedding date in your preferred format. Confirm whether you would like the pictured wording or provide your exact preferred message. If the headline “Proud to be your first” does not fit your officiant’s story, include your preferred replacement wording for review with your proof.

Wording and placement will be arranged to suit the selected board. Please double-check all spelling, names, dates, and punctuation before ordering.
