First Christmas ornament for newlyweds: wording checklist

A first Christmas as a married couple is a milestone worth putting into words carefully. Before choosing the ornament, think about how the couple describes this new chapter and what wording would feel natural to them.

Keep the wording true to the couple

Start with the milestone. Agree on the sentiment you want the ornament to preserve: their first Christmas after getting married.
Use their own terms. Don’t choose a title, name style or form of address on their behalf. Use language they already use for themselves.
Proof every letter. If the current options include names or other text, compare the spelling with the couple’s preferred spelling before submitting it.

Check the current Etsy choices to see which wording the ornament offers. If the available wording doesn’t sound like the couple, ask the seller before placing the order.
