They have arrived!
The Panama Canal Certificates were on my porch this afternoon.
They are a bit bigger than I was expecting
I didn't really expect them to be that big. Although I did see the dimensions on the website - it didn't register in my brain!
Soooo, if you have ordered a Panama Canal Certificate I would strongly recommend bringing a mailing tube to help get your certificate(s) back home safe and sound. They are much bigger than a standard 8"x10" certificate! (Can we get this info added on the front page?)
They are 15.5" by 21" so your mailing tube should be at least 16" tall and a reasonable diameter.
They are stunning though! I love them.
I also need your suggestions. They have adhesive gold seals that should be embossed before sticking them onto the certificate. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we could use to emboss the seal? I was thinking a mickeyhead would be cool, but I have no idea how to do that. Suggestions? Help!
I was also hoping that some friendly peeps would be able to help emboss the seals and put them on the certificates once we are onboard (I don't want to do it prior to being on the ship so that they stay as nice as possible as we travel across the country.) Perhaps we can meet up one evening early on and do it over a
or two!
I have a few (4) spare certificates (with no name) if anyone who didn't get one wants one (or if someone wants to give one as a gift to their server / room host / RAK someone randomly on the ship).
