What to Put in the Poem

Anchor it in their year: what they survived, started, finished, or finally did. Milestone birthdays love a look-back line — where they were at half this age — and a look-forward line about what is next.

Design Direction

Celebratory does not have to mean loud. A favorite recent photo with a warm background works for any age; for a big milestone, make the year itself part of the design in a small line under the poem.

Questions

Before you start

Does it work for milestone birthdays like 40th or 70th?

Yes. Milestones are where a written keepsake shines — put the year in the dedication line and let the poem do the rest.

Can I finish it close to the birthday?

You can create and save the design at any time — the editor keeps your draft. Because each item is custom printed, order about two to three weeks before the birthday for standard delivery.

What sizes and finishes can I order?

PlakYourPoem prints on canvas, hardboard plaque, and acrylic. Canvas and hardboard come in 5x7 and 8x10 inch sizes; acrylic is offered as an 8x10 inch wall print.

How much does a plaque cost?

The price depends on the size and finish you pick, and shipping to the US and Canada is included. All prices are in CAD, and you will see the exact price in the editor before checkout, with no charge until you place the order.

Where do you ship?

PlakYourPoem ships to addresses in the United States and Canada.

How long does production and delivery take?

Production and delivery typically take about two to three weeks. Timing is an estimate and can vary.

Write it once. Keep it close.

Bring your own words or start from a draft, add a photo, and see the finished keepsake before you pay.
