Missionary plaques

Random question – I've been asked to get a missionary plaque for a senior couple about to leave on a mission. I figured that this would be something I could find in the Online Store, but I looked and couldn't find anything. Can anyone tell me where wards usually get those from? Maybe Deseret Book has them or I could get them from the Distribution Center if I drop in?

Thanks,

Missionary plaques are not available from the church or Deseret Book but there are multiple other companies that provide them. If your ward has ordered them in the past you should try to find someone who ordered them previously and ask what vendor they used. That way you can get a plaque of a similar style. Otherwise, just google for 'lds missionary plaque' and you should find several different sources to look at.

Thanks!

There may also be a little sticker on the back of one of the existing plaques that will tell you its origin.

Some times a google search could bring you the results you want by searching something like 'sports and trophy' or something to that effect. We have purchased the plaques from a store that provides trophy s.

Looking for some advice. I've been looking into a couple of places to get a missionary plaque and wanted to get some input. I've been leaning towards the plaques from McGee's Stamps and Trophies. I like the customizability they offer, while still being an affordable option. I've also heard some positive things about their company from the reviews I read.

I wanted to reach out and see if anyone has used McGee's, and what their experience has been.

Thank you for you input!

Our ward has used McGee's without any issues

I haven't used McGees since we moved away from Utah a few years ago but before that I ordered from them many times and never had a problem.

We have used an online company called LDSBookstore.com. We have used them because we can upload photos and will print and install them in the plaque. I was the executive secretary for a while and had to do this... and believe it or not, it's worth paying to have it done.

We use BuyLDSProducts.com or Kettle Embroidery.

gemawards.com has two great styles of missionary plaques as well as a large selection of missionary plaque scripture ideas. I've been very happy with their products.

Good service and quality: http://www.mulletthoover.com/store-cate ... 99668.html

I'd just suggest doing a Google search and clicking on the top result. Or going with the company with the most product reviews. Just my opinion.

Another company that provides a variety of nice missionary (and other) plaques is https://www.wilkinsonstrophy.com/

Has anyone ordered a plaque for a young adult serving a local service mission? Looking for ideas what to do for mission name and the normal map.

I order my missionary plaques from LDSBookstore.com they are the cheapest. We have also been waiting to order them until the missionary is about to come home. You can get all of the information before they leave and just have the plaque made before they get home. It works well since we don't have anywhere to display them.

Our ward has used McGee's but we've had to carefully proofread the plaques for typos when picking up our order. We've had several misspellings of missionary names or mission names. (e.g. Nevadas Las Vegas vs. Nevada Las Vegas) Feels like their engraver is sloppy at data entry/transfer from the online ordering system to whatever software is used.

Missionary plaques are tradition, not doctrine. I don't think there are any church guidelines on them other than what the stake president allows and what the FM group provides for displaying them. In my experience, we would give the plaque to the family if they moved before the missionary returned. We always gave the plaque to the missionary upon return and that would be difficult if we kept it after the family moved away.

Wonderful plaques laser engraved on stone.
The missionaries love them. When stakes or wards order they get half off.
