1
Write out a script of what you want your plaque to say. Determine the sizing of the letters of the recipient's name and all the other wording that you will have on the plaque. Writing everything in the size you want will better allow you to compare the correct sizing when you order the plaque online.

2
Have a friend or colleague proofread your script to ensure there are no grammatical errors or misspellings of the recipient's name. Consider allowing an additional person to proofread your script as well to ensure there are no errors.

Sketch a picture the possible shape of your plaque. If you know the type of material you would like it to be made out of, glass or wood for example, write that down.

Visit a website that allows you to create and design your plaque online. There are a number of websites that will allow you to point and click with your mouse on each icon to make a custom plaque made out of the material of your choosing. The lettering, fonts, and any other symbols are completely customizable.

5
Customize your plaque based on your script and sketches. On most award creator websites, once you reach the final screen of your all-online plaque creator you will see how the finished product will look. Have a colleague look at the finished product to get a second opinion on the plaque and to ensure the lettering is correct.

Tips & Warnings
When selecting an online plaque website, try to choose a service that will save your initial plaque as a template in the event you would like to use the same format and lettering style for future awards.
