Personalized Wooden Gift Tag*
The Personalized Wooden Gift Tag gives the favors on your table something with weight to them. Instead of a printed card that bends in the box on the way to the venue, each tag is a flat piece of wood measuring 2 inches by 3 and a half inches, with your own message engraved permanently into the surface. Run a thumb across it and the letters are there. That is the moment a guest stops, reads the tag and puts it in a pocket instead of leaving it on the plate.
You decide what it says. Two lines of up to 18 characters each is room for two first names and a date, a short thank you, a family name, or a line only your people will understand. Because the wording is engraved rather than printed onto paper, it is permanent: it will not rub off in a handbag, and it will still read cleanly years after the party, which is exactly what makes a tag worth keeping.
Every Personalized Wooden Gift Tag arrives with a string already threaded through it, so you can tie it straight onto a favor box, a jar of honey, a small bottle, a wrapped candle or a linen pouch and move on to the next job on your list. If the string does not suit your palette, slip it out and thread a ribbon of your own through the hole instead. The tag was made to take either.
That is why the same little rectangle of wood turns up on a wedding welcome basket, a baby shower jar, a birthday sweet bag, a housewarming loaf and a row of client gifts carrying a company name. One tag, engraved once, and the whole table reads as though somebody thought about it.
Each tag is engraved in-house by HansonEllis, which has been personalizing celebrations since 1999.
Add your engraving text above, choose your quantity, and give your favors a label worth keeping.

Which one should I choose
The choice on a favor table usually comes down to the tag you print yourself and the tag that is engraved for you.
| Personalized Wooden Gift Tag | Choose it when the tag itself is part of the gift: engraved wood at 2" x 3.5", permanent wording, and a string already attached so it ties on in seconds. |
|---|---|
| A printed paper or card favor tag | Choose it when the tag only has to survive one evening and the wording is likely to change right up to the week of the event. |
If guests are meant to keep the tag, engraved wood earns its place; if it is throwaway decoration for one night, paper will do.

Questions shoppers ask about the Personalized Wooden Gift Tag
How big is the Personalized Wooden Gift Tag?
Each tag measures 2" x 3.5". That is large enough for two lines of wording and small enough to sit on a favor box or a jar without covering it.
How much text fits on the tag?
Up to 2 lines with a maximum of 18 characters on each line, 36 characters in total. Spaces and punctuation count towards the total, so read your wording back before you order.
How is the tag personalized?
The wording is engraved into the wood in-house by HansonEllis. Engraving is permanent, which is why the tag still reads clearly long after a printed paper tag would have worn.
Does the tag come with a string, or do I add my own?
The tags come complete with strings ready to tie onto your favors. If the string does not match your colors, it can be removed easily and replaced with a ribbon of your own.
Can each tag have different wording, such as one guest's name per tag?
Yes. Order the full quantity you need, then email your list of names or wordings to [email protected] after ordering so it can be matched to your order.
Can a company logo or monogram be engraved on the tag?
Logos are handled as a custom order. Email a vector file (.eps, .ai, .cdr, .pdf or .svg) or a high-resolution image to [email protected]. A logo setup fee applies and not every logo can be engraved.
Can I see a proof before the tags are engraved?
Proofs are optional and available on request for a $35-55 service fee per proof, and a proof adds extra days to production. Changes after a proof has been sent carry a $40 minimum updating fee, so check spelling and dates before you order. You can also call Customer Support at 310-878-9429.
Is there a minimum order?
No. Order a single Personalized Wooden Gift Tag or enough for every seat at a reception. For bulk pricing, please contact [email protected].
How long does it take, and how far ahead should I order for a wedding?
Standard production is 5 to 10 business days, plus 2 to 5 days shipping in the US. Rush production is 3 to 5 business days and expedite is 1 to 3. For a wedding, order 3 to 6 months ahead when you can.
What can I tie the tags onto?
Anything a string will go around: favor boxes, jars, small bottles, wrapped candles, linen pouches, hampers and wrapped gifts. The string is what makes the tag quick to attach at the venue.
Do you ship the wooden tags outside the United States?
International shipping is available by request. The shopping cart calculates US shipping only and international orders cannot be rushed, so email [email protected] for a quote.
Can I return personalized wooden tags?
Personalized items are made to order and are final sale unless defective. Non-personalized items can be returned within 14 days.
