What is a Wedding Signature Platter and How Do They Work?
A wedding signature platter is a unique twist on the idea of a traditional wedding guest book. Instead of having your wedding guests sign a book that will end up buried in the closet, you have them sign a beautiful hand painted platter. The finished signature platter makes a great additional to the decor of any room and is always a conversation piece.
Most signature platters are hand painted on a ceramic piece of pottery. The platters made to order allowing you to customize the platter as much as you want. You can even add personalization such as wedding couple’s names and date. You are able to choose your platter shape, the colors used in your design, and just what that design should be. Each wedding signature platter created is one of a kind piece. welkomstbord bruiloft maken
A platter works like this.
Step one you order your platter. You pick your design, colors, etc. The platter is painted, glazed, and then fired in a kiln to about 1800 degrees. Once fired the platter is a usable food safe piece of pottery.
Step two your guests sign the platter at your wedding reception. Using a special signature pen that is included with your order your guests will add their names and well wishes to the platter. They will sign directly on to the glaze of the platter.
Step three you bake the signature platter. Once everyone has had a chance to sign your platter, you need to let it air dry for at least 24 hours. Once air dried you then need to bake your platter in a conventional home oven. You bake it for 35 minutes at 300 degrees. There is no need to preheat the oven. This process will cure the pen ink on to the platter. The ink will not come off. Once baked the signature platter and pen ink are non toxic and food safe.
