1) Before the wedding, prepare your Porcelaine 150 marker for use. Shake the marker with the cap on about 20 times. Take the cap off and depress the tip on a piece of scratch paper a few times. Replace the cap and shake 20 more times. Depress the tip again. When black ink saturates the marker tip, your marker is ready for use.

2) The Porcelaine 150 marker ink takes about 1 minute to dry. To avoid smudging, try to sign the platter without resting your hand on it.

3) Set the guest instruction card out by your platter and marker. It's a good idea to have one of your attendants keep an eye on the platter table. Children should be encouraged to sign but only under the supervision of an adult.

4) After the big day, allow your guest book platter to dry for a minimum of 24 hours. To fire signatures onto the platter, bake in your home oven for thirty minutes at 300°F (149°C). Set the platter in the oven as it heats up. After the thirty minutes have passed, allow your platter to cool down with the oven.

5) Your signature platter is now ready to use! The signatures won't come off in the dishwasher or under hot water. Do not use abrasive detergents to clean your platter or abrasive cleaning tools like scouring pads. Avoid using sharp knives on your platter.

6) Porcelaine 150 Paint Markers contain no toxic ingredients, and conform to ASTM D-4236. Finished pieces can be used to serve food.

7) That's all there is to it! Enjoy your platter for years to come. We appreciate your business,
