The Complete Guide to Engraving Your Picture Frames
When it comes time to engrave your picture frame, you either fall into one of two categories. You either know exactly what you want your frame to say, or you have no idea where to start. If you fall into the latter, you can find the solution to this popular issue by narrowing your options.
What to Engrave on Your Picture Frames
Before you get started, you should first consider the picture that you intend to place inside the engraved picture frame. By choosing this first, you will have a more narrowed focus on your customization options. Photos should reflect the intended emotion of the frame, such as love, humor, elegance, religion, remembrance, or friendship.
Meaningful Quotes
When someone opens a gift that has a heartfelt or personal message that directly applies to their life, they will immediately get the warm and fuzzies. Meaningful quotes can transform any ordinary picture frame into a treasured possession.
When choosing a memorable quote, you will want to consider a few factors, such as:
- Emotion to match the picture
- Inside jokes
- References to pop culture
- Family relationship quotes
- Style of home décor
- Interests of recipient
Bible Verses
Enhance any engravable picture frame with a bible verse that provides depth, meaning, and peace to your life. These verses can be from significant sermons on important days of your life, like weddings or baptisms. Bible verses and psalms are also sentimental ways to provide remembrance for lost loved ones, providing solace during difficult times.
Custom Designs
Too style and personality to the design, you can also use personalized wooden picture frames to display custom designs of your choice.
These may include the following:
- business logos
- family monograms
- initial emblems
- silhouettes
- shapes
Consider which designs, details, and engravings would add style to enhance the photo placed inside the frame.
Song Lyrics
Song lyrics are another popular option to add to an engraved picture frame. These are incredibly important to commemorate special occasions that have been enhanced with music. Consider matching the photo with the moment you were listening to or dancing to a particular song, and keep that moment frozen in time by engraving the song lyrics into the frame.
There are many options to consider when it comes to choosing the right song lyrics for your engravable picture frame, such as:
- Wedding first dance
- Concert memories
- Favorite bands or songs
- Religious psalms from important ceremonies
- Motivational lyrics
- Favorite theme songs to movies or TV shows
