Do you know about a marriage certificate?
A marriage certificate is a letter of commitment that the bride and groom sign during a church ceremony or a civil ceremony to prove their marriage. It is used in the "signing of the marriage certificate" segment of the ceremony program. ♩
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. ♩
A unique idea is to write names and messages on Jenga blocks and put them in a bottle. Even if they fall, the couple can keep stacking them up, just like their relationship!
If the bride and groom also write their names on Jenga blocks during the ceremony and put them in the bottle, it’s complete! With Jenga, the couple can play with the messages even after the wedding, which is great!
Marriage Certificate Idea 4: Wreath
Attach ribbons to flowers and have guests write their names on them. ♡
If the collected flowers are inserted into a wreath, a very cute marriage certificate wreath is completed! ♩
Marriage Certificate Idea 5: Jigsaw Puzzle
If you want a fun and game-like certificate, a jigsaw puzzle-shaped marriage certificate is recommended! Each piece can be filled with heartfelt messages. ♩
Marriage Certificate Idea 6: Lip Prints
A marriage certificate made with lip prints from guests♡ It might turn out looking like American pop art, leaving you in awe. *
Marriage Certificate Idea 7: Book
A book-shaped marriage certificate has a beautifully antique feel. ♡ You might want to reflect the theme of turning new pages into the "future" together.
Marriage Certificate Idea 8: Tapestry
Simple yet impactful! After it’s completed, it can serve as decoration for the venue, providing double the benefits. *
Marriage Certificate Idea 9: Cake
Full of playful spirit! This idea transforms the wedding cake into a marriage certificate. It’s extremely convenient as it doesn't take up much space and is super cute! ♩

Marriage Certificate Idea 11: Photos
