**What to Engrave on your Gold Rose Gift**

A few of our gold rose gifts have the option to personalize the rose box or plate. Here you can add a special phrase to your engraved rose box to make the gift even more meaningful. Although some people decide to only use a person's name or special date.

It is not required to set up your Date a specific way. However, if you'd like a specific formatting for you date, then please refer to the recommendations below:

No Punctuation - The date order is: day, month, year (no punctuation)

-   19 April 2008 (The media and United States reverse the order, i.e. April 19, 2009)

Dates as Numerals - Date order is: day, month, year separated by slashes or full stops   

-   22.03.18 or 22/03/18

Decades - This date format is used when referring to a time span
