Wedding Date in Roman Numerals
Your wedding date in Roman numerals is the date converted part by part: the day, the month and the year, each written as its own numeral. Enter the date below to get the exact form for a band, a ring engraving, an invitation or a keepsake, then copy it or download it as an image.
25 / 7 / 2026 is XXV · VII · MMXXVI
How a wedding date is written
A date is three separate numbers, so it becomes three separate numerals. Take 7 June 2024: the day 7 is VII, the month 6 is VI, and the year 2024 is MMXXIV. Couples set those three parts out in one of two ways. Inline, on a single line with dots between the parts (VII · VI · MMXXIV), is the format that fits the inside of a ring or a slim band. Stacked, with the day on top and the year at the bottom, suits a necklace, a print or a larger engraving where there is room for three lines.
The most important decision is the order. Day, month, year is the common form in much of the world; month, day, year is common in the United States. The numerals themselves do not reveal which you picked, so settle it before anything is engraved and keep a written note to hand to the jeweller alongside the numerals.
Getting it right for an engraving
An engraving is permanent, so verify the numerals before they are cut. The generator here converts each part with the same rules the rest of this site uses, so what you copy is the standard, canonical form. Read it back to be sure: type the numeral into the converter and confirm it returns the date you meant. Watch the subtractive forms in particular, since a wedding year like 2024 (MMXXIV) or a day like the 4th (IV) uses them, and IIII or VIIII would read as a mistake on a band.
Anniversaries and keepsakes
The same date works for an anniversary gift years later. A wedding in 1999 is MCMXCIX, a long numeral that makes a striking piece; a wedding in 2000 is a clean MM. Browse the year pages to copy any year on its own, or see the tattoo guide if the date is going onto skin rather than metal.

Frequently asked questions
How do I write my wedding date in Roman numerals?
Convert the day, month and year separately, then set them out. A wedding on 7 June 2024 becomes VII, VI and MMXXIV, usually written inline with dots (VII · VI · MMXXIV) for a ring, or stacked for a larger piece. The generator above does the conversion for you.
Which date format do couples use on a ring?
Rings and bands almost always use the inline format on a single line, because the inside of a band is narrow. Dots or small spaces separate the day, month and year. Stacked layouts suit necklaces, prints and larger engravings where there is room for three lines.
Should the day or the month come first?
Either works, but decide before you engrave. Most couples outside the United States write day, month, year (VII · VI · MMXXIV for 7 June 2024); many inside it write month, day, year. The numerals do not show which order you chose, so agree it with your engraver and keep a note.
Can I use this for an anniversary gift?
Yes. A past wedding year is just as easy to render, and Roman numerals are a classic anniversary engraving. Enter the original date to get the exact numerals, then copy them for a jeweller or print them for a card.
