Decide the purpose of the dog tag. Is it to be used as a place card for seating? Is it for a key chain? Or is it simply a keepsake? Once you have decided, you will need to decide if you want to shop locally or online. Either way, it is quite simple to find dog tags for engraving, often even at a kiosk in a shopping center, though the number of engravings you need may be too many for a small store to handle.

If you choose to order blank or special dog tags such as gold plated or other specialty items, it is best you go to a local supplier and ask if you can order in bulk. The pricing is usually much more economical that way. If not, the other option is to find a reputable online vendor. In the Resources section, you will find several such suppliers. They can custom make all types and styles of dog tags, and will do the engraving for you often at a very good price. Keep in mind any online store has no overhead; that is why the market has become so competitive for online business. But do check each site for negative reviews, and make sure you ask for a sample of their work to be sent to you before you place a full order.

Once you have received your sample dog tag, ask family and friends what they think of the work. Pay attention to fonts, font size, and wording you would like on each dog tag. For example, if you are using them as place cards/keepsakes, you should make sure even your longest guest name will fit with the font size you choose. After you have made your decisions, you should contact the company and make your order.

The day of the bat mitzvah, make sure you give a copy of the seating plan to someone who is trustworthy, so he or she can place the dog tags at the seats in which you want the guests to sit.
