For weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, retirement parties and more! The Original Signature Guestbook Platter! A hand painted, personalized plate or platter is designed just for you, packaged safely and sent to you or your loved one. Guests at the special event sign the plate like a guestbook with a special pen. This is a creative and fun way to create a memorable guest platter that you will cherish for years to come.  Perfect for baby showers, bridal showers, engagement parties, retirement celebrations, anniversary parties, graduations, birthdays and more!   After your guest book plate is covered in signatures, you can easily seal in the signatures yourself. Simply bake the plate in your home oven for 30 minutes at 300 degrees. The finished plate is dishwasher safe, and the names of your guests are permanently applied to the plate. It looks beautiful!   Choose from one of our standard designs for weddings, anniversaries, birthdays, a baby shower, bridal showers, retirements, graduations and more - all custom painted in your choice of colors and styles. Or, let us create something one-of-a-kind just for you! We have a number of great signature platters to choose from as the base, and a beautiful array of colors and designs to help you find the perfect guestbook design.

There is plenty of competition on the web - and that's great. We love to see what other artists are working on. We just want you to know that The Younique Boutique, inc. was started online way back in 2001 - out of our family garage. The designs you see on this web site are our own. We conceptualized them, perfected them and continue to make them better all the time. Other artists online are selling similar products to ours. We want you to know that there are differences between these products.

 

First of all, know that when you order with The Younique Boutique, we have a full service staff waiting to take your order Monday through Friday, 9am - 5pm PST. We are a full time company with full time employees. Unless you call outside of our normal business hours, we always answer our phones. No voicemail. A real, live human being. In fact, after hours and on the weekend, the CEO herself checks email inquiries regularly just to provide timely answers to your questions.

 

Second, we don't let your order sit on a shelf somewhere for weeks before looking at it. We actually work very hard to get your order out as soon as possible. We always ask for your special event date and we take that date very seriously. If there is any concern at all about fulfilling your order in time, we contact you immediately and let you know your options. We run our ceramic kilns nightly. We press our photo gifts daily. We are a full-service, full-time production shop. We are not a single craftsperson working nights and weekends to earn a few extra bucks here and there - we're the real deal.

 

Our products are made by hand. Our line of hand painted ceramic products is made to order - by an artist. Our line of photo gifts is carefully worked on by trained technicians that know PhotoShop and how to make your photos look great. Our sewn goods are made by hand. Our cake toppers are sculpted by hand using your requirements. Nothing is produced by machine in a big factory.

 

Lastly, we want you to know that we stand by our quality. As artists, we know that we can't please 100% of the people 100% of the time. But that doesn't mean we don't try. Every order gets our entire, complete attention. Every customer is treated like family. We want you to come back for your custom gifts year after year - and we want you to tell everyone you know about us. That's why we have been in business, creating custom gifts since 2001. Because we really care about our customers, our employees, our products and our community.

Click here for all of our standard design choices. We are also happy to work with you on a custom, handpainted design. We offer three levels of custom design pricing: easy, medium, hard. An "easy" design is something like a heart or a daisy that if you were to order it, we would know exactly what you want without having to proof it with you. A "medium" design would be any piece of artwork that you supply us to replicate on a platter. Remember, these platter are hand painted with glaze so don't get too complicated on us! If you have a design that is computer generated, it may be better to do one of our photo platters. A "hard" design would be anything complicated and conceptual that we would have to draw in advance, scan and provide a proof of.

1) Before the event, prepare your Porcelaine 150 marker for use. Shake the marker with the cap on about 20 times. Take the cap off and depress the tip on a piece of scratch paper a few times. Replace the cap and shake 20 more times. Depress the tip again. When black ink saturates the marker tip, your marker is ready for use.

 

2) The Porcelaine 150 marker ink takes about 1 minute to dry. To avoid smudging, try to sign the platter without resting your hand on it.

 

3) Set the guest instruction card out by your platter and marker. It's a good idea to have one of your attendants keep an eye on the platter table. Children should be encouraged to sign but only under the supervision of an adult.

 

4) After the big day, allow your guest book platter to dry for a minimum of 24 hours. To fire signatures onto the platter, bake in your home oven for thirty minutes at 300°F (149°C). Set the platter in the oven as it heats up. After the thirty minutes have passed, allow your platter to cool down with the oven.

 

5) Your signature platter is now ready to use! The signatures won't come off in the dishwasher or under hot water. Do not use abrasive detergents to clean your platter or abrasive cleaning tools like scouring pads. Avoid using sharp knives on your platter.

 

6) Porcelaine 150 Paint Markers contain no toxic ingredients, and conform to ASTM D-4236. Finished pieces can be used to serve food.

 

7) That's all there is to it! Enjoy your platter for years to come. We appreciate your business!
