Housewarming Plaques

Say “Welcome Home” with a Personalized Gift

Housewarming gifts almost always end up being redundant and new homeowners will always end up with much of the same. Bottles of wine, alcohol, quirky signs, cheese plates… you get the picture. Be the guest that gives something unique and memorable and something that the homeowners will be able to appreciate for years to come.

Make it personal, make it memorable.

 Here are a few thoughtful ideas to inspire your custom plaque design.

  • Last Name or Family Name, for example, “The Johnsons” or “Welcome to the Smith Home.”
  • House Illustration or Photo: We can engrave photo of their actual home!
  • Move-in Date or Year: “Est. 2025” or “Home Since June 2025”
  • Meaningful Quote or Phrase: A cozy quote like “Our forever place.”
  • Coordinates of the Home: Celebrate the exact spot they now call home.
  • Street Name or Address: “123 Oakwood Lane,” for example can look striking when styled right.
  • Custom Message From You: A heartfelt line like “Here’s to new memories” or “Bless this home.”

FAQs

What materials are used for the housewarming plaques?

Plaques in this collection are made from premium black granite or alder wood. Granite is ideal for outdoor use—it's durable, weather-resistant, and holds engraving detail over time. Alder wood offers a smooth, light grain that’s perfect for crisp, high-quality laser engraving and lasting indoor display.

Can I add a photo to my plaque?

Yes, you can upload a high-resolution photo when placing your order. For the best engraving results, we recommend using the original, unedited image. Our team will take care of any cropping or adjustments needed to ensure the best outcome.

How should I prepare my photo for engraving?

Use the original photo taken by your phone or camera—avoid screenshots or downloaded images from social media, as these are often low resolution. Scanned printed photos should be scanned at 300 DPI or higher. If we encounter any issues with your image, we’ll contact you.

Will I see a proof before the engraving is done?

Yes. Once we receive your order and photo, we will send you a design proof to review and approve before we begin engraving. Be sure to check your email (including spam folders) to avoid delays.

How long does it take to make and ship my housewarming plaque?

Once you approve the proof, your custom housewarming plaque will be engraved and shipped within 1–2 business days. U.S. delivery usually takes 3–5 business days, depending on your location.

What if my plaque arrives damaged?

If your order arrives damaged or with a defect, please contact us right away. We’ll make a new engraved plaque and ship it to you as quickly as possible.

Can I return a custom plaque?

Because each plaque is custom-made, returns are handled on a case-by-case basis. If you’re not satisfied, contact us directly—we’re committed to making it right.

Where can the housewarming plaques be displayed?

Granite plaques are designed for both indoor and outdoor use—they’re perfect for gardens, headstones, or as a meaningful display inside the home. Wood plaques are best suited for indoor settings and look beautiful on a mantle, wall, bedside table, or vanity.

Can I personalize the text on my housewarming plaque?


Yes! You can customize names, dates, addresses, or a special message during checkout. We’ll format the text to fit beautifully and include it in your design proof for approval before engraving.
