Established Family Name Guestbook Board

Regular price $85.00

about this piece

Your new last name, raised in 3D script across a rectangular wooden board, with “EST” and your wedding date beneath it and the rest of the board left open for your guests’ wishes. Made to order in our family workshop, and made to hang on the wall once the party is over.

An established sign that starts at your wedding: on the day it is your guest book, and afterwards it becomes the first family name sign in your home, already covered in the wishes of everyone who was there. Type your last name (for example “The Whitakers”) and your date; “EST” and the date sit beneath the name as pictured. Choose the wood for your home rather than the venue, since the board will live there for years: Jacobean reads warm and classic, and Ocean adds a soft blue.

Personalize it in the builder

Choose your Size, Back Sign Wood Color and 3D Raised Letter Color; add the Wooden Stand, the Please Sign Mini Sign or signing markers (Marker Quantity and Marker Color) if you like; then type your Name or Last Name (for example “The Whitakers”) and your Date. The pictured font is included; tick Choose a Different Font (+$2) to pick one of 37 fonts for the name. Use Additional Notes for layout wishes or to ask for a digital proof. We cut every sign exactly as typed, so please read your entry twice.

Included, shipping and care

Pictured: Jacobean finish with white letters, size Medium; the blue board is Ocean. You receive the personalized sign with your lettering attached; the stand, mini sign and markers are included only when you add them, and the decor in the photos is styling only. Every sign is made to order in 1–3 business days, ships with free express shipping and is delivered in about 3–4 business days. Keep it indoors away from direct sunlight, dust it with a soft dry cloth, and sign with paint pens or archival markers (test on the back first).

Some lifestyle scenes are AI-generated; the sign in them is our real product. Wood takes stain a little differently on every board, so small variations in grain and tone are part of a handmade piece.
