so, my husband is a High school coach, and we get invited to A LOT of weddings! I came up with an inexpensive and personal gift idea! (no I did not invent the plate, or the vinyl lettering...or even putting the two together) but this is what I do...
1. plate (any color) I like black cause it's pretty neutral
2. have your vinyl lady ( we all have a vinyl lady, dont we?) take couples last name, year married, and a fancy scrolly thing ( yes that's how I described it to her when I order it...and she is great, and this is what was designed...) If you don't have a vinyl lady...I'd be happy to share mine...e-mail me, and I'll get you HOOKED up!
3. Clean the plate
4. peel backing away from vinyl, center, press vinyl down on plate, and then slowly peel away paper...
buy a cute plate rack, and there you have it...a nice wedding gift..less than $7 total!
I bought my plate at Taipan Trading on clearance for $.54, yes, I bought ALL of them, my plate rack was $3.00, and the vinyl, $3.00.Oh, and then maybe clean the plate again...before you take a picture, or give it away...oops:)!
Quick, easy, AND personal!

Ooohhh, that is a freakin' fantastic idea! I am definitely going to have to try that! :)
I love Tai Pan Trading! I live far, far away from one. When we go to visit family in Utah {Layton}, I always make sure that I have room in my suitcase for my finds there! {I actually had to buy an extra suitcase last time!}
Thanks for sharing your ideas!!!

What a neat idea, it's so pretty. It also looks way more expensive than $7.
I would have LOVED one of these. I want one in my house! Jami
