Classic to Unconventional: A Wealth of Ideas for "Guest-Created Wedding Certificates" ❤️✨

I Want to Create a Wedding Certificate with Our Guests!

The wedding certificate is an item that the bride and groom sign to pledge their marriage during the ceremony.

A simple design with the words of the vow written on it is standard, but a popular choice among detail-oriented brides is a wedding certificate that is "crafted with guests" ♡

The wedding certificate crafted with guests involves having them add their touch at the reception or welcome area, completing the design together.

The bride and groom will showcase the finished wedding certificate during the ceremony ♡

This guest-participation element creates a sense of unity. Additionally, the wedding certificate that has the guests' contributions becomes a lifelong keepsake.

There are so many types of wedding certificates crafted with guests.

In this article, we will introduce various ideas for wedding certificates, from the classic to some unique ones that you may have never seen before.

Brides preparing a wedding certificate should take note of these ideas ♡

Idea 1: Wedding Tree

The first idea we introduce is the most popular wedding certificate crafted with guests, known as the "Wedding Tree."

Guests decorate the leaves by applying ink to their fingers or using stamps on a tree illustration.

You can prepare several colors of stamps and set themes such as:

☑ What is necessary for a married life?

☑ How would you describe the couple in one word?

This makes it even more fun ♡

While paper is the standard for wedding trees, some opt to create the tree illustration using wood burning on a stump.

Idea 2: Wedding Tree Arrangement

Next, we introduce a creatively arranged version of the wedding tree.

Instead of adding leaves to the tree, guests create a free design with stars, balloons, and other elements in the sky.

This one is a wedding certificate inspired by The Little Prince ♩ with many shining stars.

Some brides use stickers instead of stamps, making it easier for guests to participate without getting their hands dirty.

Feel free to come up with a design that matches the wedding theme ♡

Idea 3: Heart Drops

Another popular idea is "Heart Drops," where guests place heart-shaped pieces with their signatures inside a transparent board.

It's exciting to see the hearts drop and stack on top of each other.

There are various designs of "Drops," not just hearts but stars or flowers as well.

Here is a heart drop shaped like Cinderella's Castle. After the wedding, it would look cute as room decor, don’t you think? ♡

Idea 4: Wedding Jenga

"Wedding Jenga," where guests write messages on Jenga blocks, is popular among couples who want a homely feel for their ceremony.

Writing on Jenga blocks is likely a first-time experience for guests, making it exciting ♡

The Jenga blocks with messages are placed in a large glass bottle, and the couple adds their signed Jenga block to complete it.

Idea 5: Dried Flowers

An idea for decorating the wedding certificate with dried or preserved flowers is also wonderful ♡

Here is a scene where guests freely insert dried flower pieces at the reception.

The design completed during the ceremony will be a surprise ♡

@a.bride9

This bride had guests insert dried flowers in a glass box to create a wedding certificate box.

@vo_ti_a

Here’s a book-style wedding certificate where dried flowers were inserted in a hollowed-out section of a book ♡ How unique and stylish!

Idea 6: String Art

String art is made by wrapping yarn around nails hammered into a board to create a design. This DIY idea from abroad is increasingly being adapted for wedding certificates ♡

Prepare a board with nails hammered into a heart shape beforehand and have guests wrap red yarn around it.

This is a wooden design string art. Finally, you cap it with an acrylic board that contains the vow, and it’s complete.

Idea 7: Sand Ceremony

The sand ceremony is another idea originating from overseas weddings. Guests add colored sand into a board sandwiched between acrylic. The different colored sands layer to create a unique pattern ♡

Like the wedding tree, it’s common to set a theme or questions.

The bride and groom add the final sand during the ceremony to complete it!

Idea 8: Moroccan Tiles

Now drawing attention as stylish tile place cards, Moroccan tiles (also known as Corabelle tiles) can be arranged into a wedding certificate ♡

Guests sign the tiles which are then affixed to a board.

The stylish and refined atmosphere is wonderful.

Here’s how a Moroccan tile wedding certificate looks when framed. It would be lovely to hang on the wall after the wedding.

Idea 9: Tapestry

The tapestry-style wedding certificate is created by having guests sign or write messages on a large canvas fabric provided.

The bride and groom then sign or place handprints to complete it.

After the ceremony, it can be displayed behind the head table or in the garden.

An idea where guests freely decorate it with color paints is also delightful. It truly becomes a collective work of art ♡

Idea 10: Clock

This bride prepared a clock embedded with leather name tags engraved with guests' names.

At the ceremony, they attached the clock hands together, completing the project.

The message that life as a couple begins now is also very special!

The display at the reception looks like this. The name tags are arranged like escort cards, allowing guests to find their names to attach to the clock.

Idea 11: Constellations

An elegant wedding certificate featuring stars drawn on an acrylic board. Guests draw lines connecting the stars to create constellations.

Completing a constellation together is very romantic.

It feels a bit thrilling to think about how to connect the stars.

It’s a perfect idea for a star-themed wedding.

Idea 12: Stones

The last idea presented is a wedding certificate created by having guests select their favorite stones and adhere them to a board. Prepare lots of colorful stones to choose from.

It's fun to predict who will pick which stone ♡ The wedding certificate will really reflect the guests' personalities.

This idea could also be adapted using flowers instead of stones.
