Sandpaper (150–400 grit).
Clear Epoxy Resin or Food-Safe Sealant.
Felt Pads (to protect surfaces).

Step-by-Step Instructions
Choose Your Design
Decide on a theme: names + wedding date, “Mr. & Mrs.,” initials intertwined, or a short quote.
Select a shape: classic circles, elegant squares, or symbolic hearts.
Prepare the Wood
Sand the surface and edges until smooth.
Wipe clean to remove dust.
Personalize the Coasters
Use a wood burner or laser engraver to inscribe your names and date.
Keep the layout clean and balanced.
Apply a Protective Sealant
Pour a thin layer of clear epoxy resin for a glossy, waterproof finish.
Alternatively, use a food-safe oil or wax for a natural look.
Add Felt Pads
Glue small felt pads to the bottom to prevent scratches and reduce noise.
Cure and Package
Let the finish fully harden before use.
Bundle the coasters with twine or place them in a decorative box for gifting.
Creative Variations
Photo Coasters: Transfer a favorite couple photo onto the wood before sealing.
Map Background: Engrave the outline of where you met or got engaged.
His & Hers Styles: Customize each coaster with individual preferences (e.g., “His Coffee,” “Her Tea”).
Seasonal Themes: Add carved leaves, snowflakes, or flowers for a seasonal touch.
Magnetic Stacking: Embed magnets to keep coasters neatly stacked.
Pro-Tips for Success
Seal Before Resin: If using epoxy, seal the wood first to prevent bubbles.
Practice Lettering: Test your design on a scrap piece to perfect spacing and style.
Use a Stencil: For clean lettering, sketch lightly in pencil or use a vinyl stencil.
Work in a Clean Space: Dust can ruin a smooth resin finish.
Conclusion
These wooden personalized couple coasters are a beautiful way to weave your love story into the fabric of your daily life. Every time you reach for a drink, you’ll be reminded of the person who makes your world brighter.
