Monogram Plate

Similar to a Wedding Plate, a Monogram Plate is a great wedding or anniversary gift. I can work with you to design a monogram, if the couple has a monogram, or maybe something on their invitation I can scan and enlarge, I can copy the design onto a plate. Depending on detail and size of the plate, cost can range from $30 to $50. Monogram design is a separate fee.

Monogram

I can work with you to design a custom monogram, a great way to add personality to your wedding. Information like the couples names, date of the wedding, and location can be included. Or you could go more traditional and just do initials. It's really all up to you. I can also incorporate the colors of your wedding. Usually this is done over a few emails and within a week. When the design is finalized, the file can be emailed to you and you can use it for other items in your wedding, like a signature platter, a monogram plate, programs, thank you notes, etc. Cost $40.

Signature platters

Signature platters are a modern way of enjoying your wedding guest book. Hang it on a wall or use it for special occasions- either way I bet you will see it more than a traditional guest book.Step 1- Before the wedding. We will work together to design the platter. I can help you decided what goes in the middle of the platter. It can be a monogram designed by me, wedding inspired clip art, or something else of your choosing. I will draw design on the platter, and then it can be pick-up or shipped to you. Depending on how long it takes to design the platter this step can take 1 week up to 1 month.

Step 2- At the wedding. You set the platter out on a table at your ceremony and reception. It's best to have someone standing near encouraging people to sign the plate, like a guest book attendant. ONLY BALLPOINT PEN CAN BE USED TO SIGN THE POTTERY. It is important not to let anyone sign over the center design. Make sure everyone important signs the plate. It's a good idea for Parents and close friends of the couple to sign the platter before the wedding, so they don't forget later into the evening (they are usually the most busy and distracted most important) and also to give your guest an idea of how to sign the platter. Step 3- After the wedding. You drop-off or mail the platter back to me. Then I sign over everyone's signature with paint. Because the pen will burn off in the kiln when it is fired, anything you don't want, (say a misspelling or an inappropriate word or a little one who found a pen and started doodling) I will not copy and no one will see it. After copying all of the signatures I will paint the center design and any other details we decided on. This step takes the longest, at a minimum it will take 1 month before you get the platter back. At this point it will be complete and you can hang it on a wall or put it in a special place. Please email me for a cost estimate. There is a range from $80-160 depending on the size of the platter, to what you want for the center design, and how many signatures you have. photos to come
