Designs by Branda started when we where searching for a bencher for our own family simcha. Not finding a fully customizable cover where we could order just the amount we needed, we decided to make our own and then share that with the community. We love taking the time to make sure your bencher reflects your interests, hobbies, and loves. We continue to work on expanding our offerings, including a special Sukkot Birchon, Pesach Birchon, Al Ha'mechia cards and more. We can also custom design wood laser engraving and acrylic cuttings.
Please reach out if you want to talk about a custom wood or text project.
We look forward to hearing from you on how we can support your next event.
Currently the text for Birkat Hamazon is available in Nusach Ashkenaz, Sephard, Ari and Edut Hamizrach. You are able to select your choice of Al Ha'mechia, Kiddush for Shabbat, Havdallah, Shabbat Candlelighting, Sheva Brachot or Zemirot for Seuda Shilishit on the back lower half. If you select Sheva Brachot, we will also add that zimun in the main text.
We also have a specialty Sukkot Birchon that includes Kiddush, Bircat Ha'mazon, and ushpizin. Our Pesach Birchon features Kiddush, Birkat Ha'mazon and Al Ha'mechia.
If you have any idea for additional options on the back or another text offering, reach out - we might be able to do it.
The total process usually takes between 4-5 weeks, but we have done rush orders in as few as 5 days. This includes initial design consultations, revisions and customizations, printing and delivery. Our goal is to have final approval for printing at least two weeks before your event to ensure ample time for printing and delivery.
If you are local to the Silver Spring, MD area we are able to bring samples to you or host you to view samples. If you are not local, we'll paint you a picture. The standard bencher is a bi-fold bencher measuring 5" x 7.5" when folded, that is printed on a synthetic paper. The paper is matte and has a smooth feel to it. There is no lamination, glare, or gloss. The paper is waterproof and can be easily wiped clean. For the Sukkot Birchon it is a tri-fold, that also measures 5" x 7.5" when folded.
For the standard bi-fold bencher we charge a $50 set up fee to design the cover and side bars to be perfect for your event. There is also a charge per a bencher, with no minimum order amount. Each bencher is $1.90; if you order 100 or more, there is a ten cent discount per a bencher. For the Hebrew/English tri-fold bencher is $2.45 each for orders of -199 and $2.30 each for orders of 100 or more. Delivery is free within the Washington, DC metro area. Other orders will be shipped via UPS with any costs over $10 charged to the customer.
The Sukkot Birchon is $2.50 each, with a minimum order of 5 total (does not need to be the same cover design). Orders of 15 or more are $2.30 each.
