Tips for Choosing the Right Wording

  • Keep wording short for badges and rosette centres so it remains easy to read

  • Use longer messages on sashes where there is more space

  • Think about photographs — bold wording shows up better in pictures

  • Match the tone to the occasion (playful, formal or respectful)

  • A few clear words are often more effective than a long sentence
