Common Engraving Mistakes
Writing Too Much
Most bottles only fit 2–4 short lines, so trim the message to what matters.
A Generic Message
Names, dates, and a nod to the occasion make the bottle a keepsake.
Mismatching the Spirit
Pick a bottle that fits both the person and the moment, from bourbon for a closing to champagne for a wedding.
Skipping the Card
A short hand-written note adds warmth that engraving alone can't.
