Our rustic wooden round cake stands are perfect for any wedding, party or event! Approx. diameter of this stand is 14-15", 17-18" OR 23-24". The lettering for personalized options will take up approx. 1" around the edge, leaving approx. 13", 16", 22" diameter for the cake to sit on if you don't want the lettering covered up. Stands are BLANK or Personalized. Personalization is done per word. -A word is anything over 2 letters but not more than 12 (if it's more please use the 2 word option or contact us prior to ordering) -Single letters such as A, I, etc. or symbols (ex; "&" "+") don't count as a "word". If you have more than 2 of them ex; I love u a lot (that has 3 single letters so total wording would be 3 words) -Numeric dates count as a "word" ex; 5.23.23 is 1 word. May 15th, 2023 is THREE words (may=1, 15th=1 and 2023=1). -No symbols can be; &, +, a period, dot, dash or slash. Stands are made of wood. Clean with damp cloth gently. Do not scrub painted wording. Air dry completely before putting away. We STRONGLY recommend using a barrier between the food and the tray (ex; parchment or wax paper). Stands are stained natural wood. Knots, natural wood slits, creases/cracks etc will be present to a varying degree. Final shade will vary piece to piece may be lighter/darker than samples in photos and sample pic. Whitewash is a WASH not a paint, wood grain will show through to a degree, as is intended with stain.
