Consider the style and font that best reflects the couple's personalities. To ensure accuracy, use a ruler or measuring tape to mark the center of the cheese board. This will help you position the initials symmetrically.

Once the initials are engraved, inspect it to ensure it meets your desired outcome. If necessary, use sandpaper to refine any rough edges or imperfections.
