While it doesn't have any legal significance, many brides-to-be are creating them as a cherished keepsake, making it a popular bridal item. ♩

What to write on a marriage certificate＊

Generally, a marriage certificate includes the names of the bride and groom, the ceremony date, the venue, the officiant, and the words of vow. There are also participatory marriage certificates where guests write their names, and the forms can be truly diverse! Feel free to create them however you like.♡

What design should I choose for the marriage certificate? ♩

Since there are no legal requirements for marriage certificates, the design can be completely free! There are various types, so it can be hard to decide what to create. ＊

Therefore, I have compiled some unique design ideas for marriage certificates! ♩

Marriage Certificate Idea 1: Shells

Have guests sign on sand and family members on shells, and include a shell representing the bride and groom dressed in a bow tie and veil. This could result in a marriage certificate that looks like an interior decoration piece! It’s perfect for a beach wedding. ♡

Marriage Certificate Idea 2: Acrylic Board

Recently, acrylic board marriage certificates have become popular! Writing the vows on a clear board with a white Posca marker instantly enhances its chicness. ♩
