Words with Boards, home of the personalized cutting board wedding gift

It's prime wedding engagement time – save-the-dates are coming. Everyone wants to find the perfect, unique wedding gift. May we suggest a personalized cutting board wedding gift.

There are many wedding gift myths floating around. Here, we debunk four common ones:

Myth #1: You must buy a gift from the registry.

Reality: Off-registry surprises, like a personalized cutting board wedding gift, are a blast.

It’s true that just about everybody registers: According to the wedding website TheKnot.com, 98% of engaged couples have at least one wedding registry.

But while a gift from the registry is nice, nearly all couples will be charmed by something thoughtful and personal that surprises them. We are partial to a personalized cutting board wedding gift.

Myth #2: You should take the personalized cutting board wedding gift to the wedding.

Reality: Shipping a personalized cutting board wedding gift directly to the couple’s home is perfectly acceptable and may even be preferred.

Though you certainly can take your wedding gift like a personalized cutting board wedding gift with you, it might be more convenient for everyone to ship it.

Be sure to include a gift note if you do ship a personalized cutting board wedding gift directly to the couple, and make sure that is doesn't arrive during their honeymoon.

Myth #3: You have a year to give a gift like a personalized cutting board wedding gift.

Reality: Gifts should be sent before or within the two or three months following the wedding.

The Emily Post Institute proposes sending gifts, like a personalized cutting board wedding gift just after receiving the invitation or “on the outside,” within two-three months of the wedding.

TheKnot.com somewhat disagrees, saying you “technically” have a year. However, their editor suggests taking care of any gift-giving within two months of the big day.

Believe me, the bride and groom will be thrilled no matter when the personalized cutting board wedding gift arrives.

FYI - It takes 5-7 days to make a personalized cutting board wedding gift.

Myth #4: If you don’t go, but were invited, you must send a gift.

Reality: A gift is given freely. There are no “musts.”

The only hard and fast rule is that you absolutely have to respond. Giving a gift, like a personalized cutting board wedding gift is always your choice.

Whether or not you attend the wedding, a gift lets the couple know you care. Ostensibly, they care about you, too – they invited you.
