Exactly three products at Everly & Oak can be personalized right now: the laurel wreath cutting board, engraved with a couple's names; the laurel wreath tumbler, printed with one bridesmaid's name; and the matching "Mr." and "Mrs." laurel wreath mugs, each one set with a surname. Every other piece in the shop -- every poster, every canvas, every blanket, every ornament -- ships exactly as it appears on the product photo. If a product page doesn't show an "Add personalized design" button, the piece isn't customizable, no matter how much you'd like it to be.
That short list is deliberate. Everything at Everly & Oak starts as original artwork made in-house, then gets printed to order once you buy it, so there's no backstock of finished pieces sitting on a shelf. Building a name into three specific designs is a controlled exception to that process, not a sign that the rest of the catalog quietly works the same way. Here's what actually happens between the click and the box on your porch.
The three pieces you can put a name on
All three personalizable products share the same laurel wreath motif, which makes them easy to spot in the shop, but the format of what you can add differs by product.
- Laurel wreath cutting board ($54.95 to $64.95, laser-engraved rather than printed) -- add the couple's names, engraved directly into the wood.
- Laurel wreath tumbler (the 20oz insulated tumbler, $54.95) -- add one bridesmaid's name, printed onto the design.
- "Mr." and "Mrs." laurel wreath mugs, sold as a matching pair -- each mug is personalized with a surname, so the set reads as a pair rather than two mugs with two different names.
You'll find these by browsing the engraved cutting boards, the 20oz wedding tumblers, or the wedding mugs and drinkware collection and looking for the laurel wreath design specifically -- other pieces in those same collections are sold as-is.
The laurel wreath itself is original artwork, designed in-house the same way every other piece in the shop is, rather than a licensed or stock motif. That's part of why it works as the personalized line: the wreath frames a central space that was drawn with the expectation that text would eventually sit inside it, instead of a design element being reused for a purpose it wasn't built for.
How the process actually works
Personalized orders move through the same system as everything else at Everly & Oak. There's no separate queue and no phone call to confirm details. The personalization tool on the product page shows the name updating on the design as you type it, so you get one visual check before you commit -- but there's no proof emailed back and forth after that, and no second confirmation step once the order is placed, so accuracy on your end still matters more than it would with a slower, more hands-on process.
- 1. Open the product page for the cutting board, the tumbler, or the mugs and click "Add personalized design."
- 2. Type the name or names exactly as you want them to appear -- capitalization, spacing, and spelling all print or engrave as entered.
- 3. Add the item to your cart and check out normally, alongside anything else you're ordering.
- 4. Production begins once the order is placed. Like every product in the shop, personalized pieces are made to order rather than pulled from finished inventory, so plan on 5 to 7 business days of production before the order ships.
- 5. The order ships from the USA, and transit time is added on top of that production window, so count both when you're working backward from a wedding date.
Nothing about the personalized versions changes the production timeline compared to the rest of the shop. A plain mug and a personalized one leave the workshop on the same schedule; the only difference is the name.
Printed or engraved: why it matters for what you type
The cutting board is laser-engraved, which means the name is cut into the wood itself rather than sitting on top of it. That makes it durable through years of washing and use, but it also means there's no reprinting a single letter after the fact -- the whole board would need to be remade. The tumbler and the mugs are printed rather than engraved, which is a different process but carries the same practical result for you as the shopper: once it's produced, it's produced. Neither method includes a correction pass, so the moment that matters most is the moment before you click "add to cart," not after.
What to have ready before you click "Add personalized design"
Because there's no proofing step where someone else catches an error for you, the accuracy of what you type is the whole ballgame. Before you sit down to personalize the cutting board, the tumbler, or the mugs, have three things settled:
- The exact spelling of every name involved, confirmed with the person it belongs to rather than guessed from an invitation or a wedding website, both of which can carry typos of their own.
- A decision on which surname to use, if that's relevant -- see the note below on couples who haven't finalized a name change.
- Whether you want a nickname or a full given name. "Michael" and "Mike" both print fine; the machine just needs you to pick one.
None of this is complicated, but all three are easier to get right before you're sitting at checkout with a cursor blinking in an empty text field. Settle them first, then go place the order.
What's not personalized, even though it might look like it should be
It's worth being direct about this because it's the most common assumption people make: the rest of the shop -- the wedding wall art, the throw blankets, the candles, the ornaments -- is not a hidden opportunity for customization. There's no wording field hiding on those product pages, no way to request a different color palette, and no option to swap a date or initial into a design that wasn't built for it. Those pieces are original artwork chosen and printed as a finished design, and that's the whole product. If you want a name on something, the cutting board, the tumbler, or the mugs are the only three ways to get one.
This isn't a limitation to work around so much as a reason those three products exist in the first place. A laurel wreath with "The Whitfield Cutting Board" or "Mr. and Mrs. Reyes" engraved into it is a different object than a laurel wreath print on a wall -- it's built to carry a name well, in a spot on the design that was left for exactly that. Retrofitting a name onto a design that wasn't built for one usually looks like exactly that: retrofitted.
The rest of the catalog is organized around style instead -- modern minimal, boho, rustic, classic -- because that's the axis those pieces are actually designed on. A couple's taste is knowable in a way that their future surname sometimes isn't, and matching a gift to how a couple decorates is a different, often easier, exercise than matching it to a name you have to get letter-perfect.
Common questions
Can I add my own wording instead of just a name?
The personalization field on these three products is built for a name or a surname, not open-ended text. If you're picturing a full custom message -- a date, a quote, a longer phrase -- that's outside what the "Add personalized design" button on these products is set up to do.
Does personalizing an item cost more or take longer than the non-personalized version?
Personalization doesn't change the production window. Every item at Everly & Oak, personalized or not, is made to order with 5 to 7 business days of production before it ships from the USA. Build your timeline around that regardless of which version you're ordering.
Can I get the poster or canvas prints personalized too?
No. Personalization is limited to the laurel wreath cutting board, the laurel wreath tumbler, and the laurel wreath "Mr." and "Mrs." mugs. Everything else, including every piece of wall art, ships as shown on the product page.
What happens if I type a name wrong?
Because the piece is engraved or printed exactly as entered and production starts right after you order, double-check spelling before you submit. Treat the field the same way you'd treat addressing an envelope -- there's no proof step catching mistakes before the machine does its job.
The short version
Three products can carry a name right now: the laurel wreath cutting board, the laurel wreath tumbler, and the matching laurel wreath mugs. Everything else in the shop is original art sold exactly as photographed. Where personalization is available, it works through an "Add personalized design" button on that specific product page, runs through the same 5 to 7 business day production window as everything else, and prints or engraves exactly what you type -- so get the spelling right before you check out.
