Plaque Inscriptions

If you've ever been tasked to have someone's plaque made to commemorate their PCS, you know it can be somewhat challenging. What should be written on the person's plaque? How much should we say? Am I scrimping because it costs 20 cents a letter to engrave? It really doesn't take much to express your shop's thanks. It's the thought that counts. Below are examples of actual plaque inscriptions that no one has complained about (yet).

Don't forget to proofraed what you give the clerk at the plaque store!
