What to engrave on parents gifts?

We did our names and the wedding date but it was picture frames so it made sense.

Maybe something like "love from {bride name} & {groom name}" and the wedding date so it's clear to random people who see it that it was a gift.

My thoughts are that it might be a bit awkward to have one of these gifts with other peoples names without some greeting

Thanks Starlight. That's a good suggestion :-)

*Shameless BUMP* in case there's anyone back from the long weekend that might be able to help.

The more I think about this the more confused I get lol. Google doesn't seem to be helping much.

I'm now leaning toward either:

1. Parents names and date of wedding

or

2. Date of wedding

or

3. "Love from {bride name} & {groom name}" and the wedding date, as Starlight suggested

TIA for any help or opinions!

I plan on getting each set of parents a silver 8 x 10 frame with our names and wedding date engraved on it and giving them the option of a photo of their choice.

Personally, I am not a fan of doing the parent's name with our wedding date on it as it just seems off to me. I like things clean and simple and don't want the frame cluttered, but as I reread your post and saw that you are giving them a wood carving (do you have a photo of it, as it may help).

Oh that's a good idea. Maybe just a nice sentiment and forget any names and dates.

Here are some photos of their products (they didn't have a photo of the beer caddy on their website so this is someone else's design but gives you an idea).

We have 3 sets of parents, so we'll be giving a different item to each set of parents.

Here's an example of what their engraving looks like.

What about Mother/Father of the Bride/Groom? I know my mom loves it when people call her that

If only names, it should be the bride and groom - not the parents. If you're putting the parents names on it, then it should be the family name, and no date - i.e., more like a monogram. Keep in mind that your parents are not going to forget when/why they received the item - a small saying with your initials would be just as nice, and equally memorable.
