Inscriptions and Quotes Capitalizations Question?

[The Blue Lotus]

Err... Ok So I have a really stupid question.
When engraving an item with a quote do you capitalize the words as if it were a news headline or title?

The quote I am using is
~ May you stay forever young ~
Or should it be:
~ May You Stay Forever Young ~



This is going on a wedding gift so I want to make sure it is correct.
Thanks in advance.

According to a quick Google search,

Capitalizing the first letter of each major word (not prepositions like: of, to, with, etc.) will make the inscription stand out and give a great appearance.

(But both of your given options are correct.)

If you do the first, I'd end it with a period. Looks wrong to me without one.

Option #3 is to dodge the issue altogether by making it all upper-case letters. Depending on what it is that's being engraved, it might be a lot more legible that way. (Imagine Gandalf holding up that ring and saying "'Ash nazg…' is that a 'd' or a 'b'? 'One ring to mule them all'–that can't be right. Where the hell are my glasses?")

~ May You Stay Forever Young ~

This looks nicer by far, but I don't know the etiquette. I've had things "personalized" before and I've always asked for initial caps and never even bothered to ask if that was right or not.

Who cares if is "right" if that's what you like. Coffee black, or with sugar and cream. It's a matter of personal choice.

I like ~ May You Stay Forever Young ~ better.
