You can buy it at wedding venues or from wedding item companies, but more and more brides are making their own by hand.

Now, if you're going to DIY, what items and phrases should you include?

This time, we will introduce standard items and actual phrases written by senior brides.

While mimicking the good parts, let's create an original appreciation certificate that conveys gratitude.

Example 1: Number of Days from Birth to Wedding Day

First, I want to write the number of days from birth to the wedding day.

It’s easy to calculate how many "years" have passed since birth, but counting the days is not common, so your parents will surely be impressed by the number of days that have passed.

Example 2: Time, Height, and Weight at Birth

Including the time, height, and weight at birth in the Parenting Appreciation Certificate can help your parents vividly recall the moment you were born.

It would be lovely to write this next to a picture from when you were small.

Example 3: Words of Gratitude

And the most important part is the words of gratitude.

Here is the bride's words of appreciation.

To Mom and Dad,

Thank you for raising and taking care of me until now. You have always nurtured me with immense love, and thanks to you, I can celebrate this wonderful day today.

Although the text is short, it beautifully conveys heartfelt gratitude.

Here’s what another bride wrote:

For 25 years, you have always been my allies, showering me with the world's greatest love. I express my deepest thanks for your long years of effort and love with this certificate. Together, we will continue to build a happy family filled with smiles, so please watch over us.

This appreciation certificate also mentions both the past and the future, which is wonderful. ♡

Another bride wrote:

To Dad and Mom,

Thank you for raising me with love for 25 years. I am truly happy to be your child. I look forward to your continued support.

This handwritten certificate has a warm touch. ♡

Example 4: Wedding Date and Name

Finally, conclude the Parenting Appreciation Certificate with the wedding date and your name.

Many brides wrote only their first names rather than their last names.
