For many guys, a wedding band is the only piece of jewelry they own. Aside from a watch, a wedding band might be the closest you'll ever get to accessorizing—so you had better make sure it's special.

After you settle on a wedding band design that you like and choose a metal that best fits your lifestyle and price point, there is one more option that you should consider: getting the wedding band engraved.

Your options are almost endless when it comes to engraving, as most of this work is done today with a laser, ensuring pinpoint accuracy. Just keep in mind that you have a limited amount of space to work with to keep the engraving legible: It can only get so small before it becomes indecipherable.

The following are some of the most popular choices for engraving inside wedding bands:

• Wedding date

• Wedding date with the bride's and groom's initials

• The bride's and groom's nicknames for each other

• A quote or phrase with personal significance to the bride and groom

• In second or subsequent marriages, the names of the children in the blended family
