Personal details for the wedding day
Start with a real Easel project, add the couple's names or date, and plan the material, bit, and finish before you carve.

Choose the job before the style
Wedding pieces do different jobs. A welcome sign should be readable from across the room, a keepsake can focus on names and a date, and table numbers need to stand securely without crowding the place settings.
Choose the setting first, then match the project to it. That choice sets the size, material, lettering style, bit, mounting method, and finish. The examples below cover a square personalized sign, a long hardwood date sign, and freestanding table numbers.
Real projects from the Easel gallery
Each project has a working preview and copy path. The two personalized signs use V-carving, which requires Easel Pro. The standing table number uses a straight end mill and a fitted base.
Customizable Wedding Signby Sam AlaimoA square birch-plywood sign for a welcome table, gift display, or reception wall. The main decisions are fitting the names inside the leafy border and choosing a V-bit that keeps the fine lettering readable.
Wedding Date Signby Seth PorterA long walnut sign sized for the couple's surname and wedding date. The maker used a 90-degree V-bit, paint-filled the carved lettering, and sanded the face before adding a protective clear coat.
Table Numbersby Nate FanaroA freestanding MDF table marker that helps guests find their seats without taking much table space. Measure the actual stock first, then adjust the slot in each base so the number stands securely.

From the makers’ comments and project notes

Sam Alaimo recommends extra layers of stain and sealer, followed by light sanding to remove paint from the face. If sanding removes some stain, he suggests touching it up with a small brush that avoids the painted lettering. This gives you a way to preserve both colors instead of sanding the whole face aggressively.
