Complimentary Concierge Service
Need help customizing your board? We’re available to answer any questions you have!
Personalized cutting boards are one of the most thoughtful wedding gifts because they are both practical and sentimental. Couples use them for entertaining, meal preparation, and creating memories together in their new home.
Personalized cutting boards make wonderful gifts for weddings, anniversaries, housewarmings, engagements, bridal showers, Mother's Day, Father's Day, retirements, realtor closing gifts, and holidays. They are also a thoughtful way to commemorate family recipes and milestones.
The right size depends on how you plan to use it. Smaller boards are perfect for meal prep for 1-2 people or for serving cheese and appetizers. Larger boards work well for bigger meal preparation, entertaining, and charcuterie displays. If you're giving a gift, consider the recipient's cooking style, how much entertaining they do and available kitchen space.
The personalization field on this page shows the maximum length, and it varies by product and size. Not sure your wording will fit? Email or text us before you order and we'll help you find a layout that looks great.
It depends on the product. Each product page lists its production time in the Shipping tab, and personalized pieces are made to order in our Baltimore studio. During the holiday season, allowing extra time is always recommended. If you need it sooner, please email us at kim@wordswithboards.com
We do not provide proofs unless the board has special design features, such as custom messaging or logos not shown on the web site.
Hand wash your board with warm water and mild soap, then prop it up so that it dries on all sides (you can also set it on a cookie rack to elevate it from the counter allowing for good air flow). Avoid soaking it in water. Periodically applying food-safe mineral oil or board conditioner will help maintain its beauty and prevent the wood from drying out.
We believe made in America matters — for the hands that make it, the economy we support, and the planet we all share.
Whether your words are hand-cut with a scroll saw or engraved in our studio, every piece is sanded smooth and finished by one of our artisans; no shortcuts, ever.
We use sustainably forested American hardwoods, and for every wooden piece we sell, a tree gets planted right here in the U.S.
