Start with the essential information
A full name, relevant dates and a simple line explaining the person's connection or significance are often enough to establish the purpose of the plaque.
Add a personal line if space allows
A short dedication, family phrase or carefully chosen quotation can make the piece individual without overwhelming the design.
Keep the physical plaque in mind
Long wording means smaller lettering. Before finalising the inscription, consider the plaque size, viewing distance and the material being used.
Check everything before manufacture
Names, dates and punctuation deserve a second and third check. Furnells can help with layout, but the final wording should be approved before the plaque is produced.
