Bronze Plaques Are Not Third Place
Bronze is a strange metal. It is shiny and valuable but because of it’s relative worth when compared to silver or gold or platinum it is sometimes seen as lesser. In engraving though you can rarely do better than bronze. Sure we’d love to give everyone a white gold plaque and then hang that outside [...]
A Permanent Wall Post
Social networking has allowed us all to post our feelings and ideas on each other’s “walls.” But rarely do these thoughts, whether they be a birthday greeting or a hot YouTube video, these things are mostly temporary. Sure the sentiment lasts, but who has time to scroll back through all those comments and sub-comments? Judaica [...]
Memorial Plaques, How We’re Remembered
Memories are strange and often unknowable things. Science at this point has very little understanding of our memory. It might seem obvious but they have even less information about how our emotional memories work. That said people go through great pains to define how exactly they will be remembered. It’s important to feel like your [...]
Special Engraved Invitations
How many times have you been asked, “Were you expecting a personally engraved invitation?” I have been asked this many times. Mostly by family members who started dinner without me or friends who hit up the latest Coen Brothers’ movie without dropping me even a telephoned or text messaged invite.

Pleasant Reminders
Seeing a loved one’s name preserved in stone or metal can be an emotional experience. It is a symbol that your loved one has also contributed to a greater good. Inspiration can be gleaned from knowing that someone with whom you shared a special bond has also served forces larger than themselves. It is also just [...]

Why do people give? There is a multitude of reasons, to be sure. But one of the greatest, deepest underlying ones is the desire to be remembered. All humans crave this and it so we construe it into magnanimity. And indeed, this construal becomes the primary reason: we give to those who have less because [...]
Donor Plaques Message Should Be Short And Sweet
We wrote a few weeks back about the advantages of showing appreciation through donor walls. Most of the advantages that we discussed circled around the feelings of the donor. After all, building a donor wall or plaque doesn’t directly benefit you or your organization. It is a token of appreciation to those who have given. [...]
More Tales Of Stolen Bronze Plaques
We seem to hear a story like this every six weeks or so. And while one of our blog’s commenter’s pointed out, it does show the value and appreciation for bronze plaques, we’d obviously wish the value in them wouldn’t consistently make them targets for criminal activity. This story was published last week on FOXNews.com: [...]
Bronze Plaques For The Homeless
In the past we’ve discussed the use of bronze plaques as memorials, as a means of both honoring and remembering those who have passed. These memorial plaques serve as tactful, beautiful tributes to those we have lost, and more times than not assist in the grieving process. The citizens of San Francisco had the idea [...]
The Advantages of Showing Appreciation Through Donor Walls
Anyone who has run an organization that survives and functions on contributions is likely aware of the importance of thanking the donator. By treating your donators with gratefulness and appreciation, you are giving them something in return for something they expected nothing from. Not all people, but unquestionably a significant number, take a vast amount [...]
