Orders hand-prepared w/Lettering--

My name is Valerie and I personalize the certificate with your personal information in matt finished India Ink for long-lasting preservation, using a Copperplate Script hand-lettering style. These are thick-thin strokes. I have a bunch of old, old originals anywhere from 1875 to 1914 and the lettering varies, however, what is special about these is how unique they are in their authenticity (as they were the official document). The special touch of Hand-Lettering remains reminiscent of days past--no machine lettering here.
I like doing hand lettering on these 'new' heirlooms as I feel it makes them more authentic and "not" computer generated. I use India Ink and this gives a texture to the lettering....you can run your fingers across the letters and feel a slight raised effect. Your certificate will become a treasure to pass on to the next generation.

The Paper may be different, but these are reproduced from the old originals that were handed down from the years. Most are manufactured on a heavy acid-free twelve point stock and some on parchment-like paper to bring out the colors as brilliantly as the originals. This will help preserve your heirloom. Order yours today!

Ceremony Agenda Ideas

What? A special ceremony that not only speaks words of commitment, but also a celebration surrounded by friends and family. Perhaps you are engaged and want to celebrate your new betrothed status. Perhaps you're not ready for marriage, yet want to profess a commitment to each other.

Whatever the reason, your special pledge and obligation to each other is important.

Why? Expression of love, commitment to share ones lives & household, or the pending celebration of a marriage.

Who? You will want to invite family and close friends. As a special celebration you can ask a minister or close family friend to provide the blessings and the ceremonial exchange.

When?

Betrothals: engagement party

Commitment & Partners in Life: Anniversary date of first meeting, career change, mutual decision, personal situations, Valentine's Day, Sweetest Day (October)

Where? These celebrations can be held at the home of your parents or close friends, a chapel, your own home, park, reception hall or other unique possibilities.

How? The ceremony can have a touch of protocol and a touch of special creativity. As with most ceremonies, consider the following as ideas:

AGENDA IDEAS:

-Greetings, Introduction and welcome to family and guests

-Special Scripture or Poem reading by a designated person

-Candle Lighting Ceremony (candle for couple, parents, children, etc.)

-Special music

-Affirmation of Commitment

-Exchange of rings, gifts, special poems

-Signing of the Certificate

-Acknowledgement and Recognition of other "special people"

-Special Prayer or Verse

-Benediction/Conclusion

-Presentation of Couple and Certificate

Other?

Your celebration can also include a small buffet, finger foods, cheese & crackers, or even a bar-b-q!

After the ceremony be sure to include a photo session.

Provide your guests with special favors and candy treats. You may also want to print up a special

Program keepsake/memento of the ceremony.
