As newly married couples move into the adventure of the rest of their lives, they seek to have a meaningful keepsake to commemorate this turning point that will last the test of time. An engraving can mean many different things to a vast majority of people. Intrinsically, this value is sentimentally assigned. Our family at G.O.C. rocks would love to work with you and provide you an engraved keepsake that is custom made to reflect the symbolism of your marriage.
With over 20 years of experience in the engraving industry, our family has seen a vast majority of ways newly weds express themselves. During my daughter’s wedding, we provided every one of the wedding guests with sandblasted shot glasses to commemorate this special event. This gave all participants a token to take with them to remember their experience. Other people prefer to have a solo piece made. These can include larger stones with custom graphics or our popular ‘stacker’ engraved rocks. In this comprehensive guide, we’ll dive into the timeless appeal of representing your pinnacle moment with a custom engraved stone that can add a touch of elegance to show to the world.
The Significance of Wedding Keepsakes
Much like the traditional diamond rings that are exchanged during the ceremony that adjoins two families into one, peripheral objects can also carry a lot of sentimental weight. This weight can be distributed among a number of different objects to show the commitment shared between partners. Having multiple objects around gives more events to the individual throughout the day to reflect on the commitment they have made to each other, reinforcing the bond. Beyond the married couple, engraved rocks can serve as meaningful tokens of appreciation for wedding guests. I myself, being at a number of weddings, appreciate the thoughtfulness of having a small commemorative piece that I can take away to remember the event.
The Timeless Appeal of Engraved Rocks
Stones are seen as natural works of art crafted by nature. This is something that we take for granted because it has become something that we see everyday. By taking nature’s beauty and applying a unique identifier that people can relate to, to make this natural work of art timeless.
This timelessness can provide a distinctive alternative to traditional wedding keepsake. You can imagine the wow factor seen by guests when they walk into the venue to be met by one of our larger custom rocks with a unique engraving that represents the couple. An example would be the couple’s names, wedding date, and a special message or graphic.
Adding elegance to your celebration
The hand picked stones we select here at G.O.C. Rocks we want to be as special to you as the craftsmanship we put into every product we make. Our rocks seamlessly integrate into various aspects of your wedding celebration. They can be used as aisle markers, seating assignments, or even decorative accents to enhance the ambiance of the venue. These stones can also be used in save-the-date announcements, invitations, ceremony backdrops, and reception centerpieces. Feel free to be creative with the use of our product, and always feel free to reach out to us for other ideas. We’ve seen it all!
What G.O.C. Rocks recommends
For wedding gifts to the couple getting married, we will definitely point you in the direction of looking at our ‘custom rocks’ or our ‘stackers’. Imagine a completely unique image on a one of a kind stone sitting at the edge of the newly weds driveway. Or a stacker rock with all of the newly formed families names on it sitting on the front doorstep. Even a simple ‘phrase rock’ could be placed on a desk by the bride or groom as a point of reflection. These are unique gifts that will outlast nearly every other wedding gift that is given at the ceremony. This sort of gift is also an eco-friendly choice as it really isn’t disposable like other favors or trinkets, engraved rocks are natural to begin with.
For gifts to the wedding party we would recommend looking at the ‘family rocks’ or ‘love stones’. You have the option to engrave the stones as such: groom + bride. You can provide these stones in bulk to everyone in the wedding party, or if you really want to go big, to everyone in attendance. Giving gifts like these will give everyone the means to remember your special day.
No matter what you decide, the short of the story is that an engraving on a stone that is uniquely buffed by nature throughout the ages provides a timeless work of art to be displayed by all.
