About this template
If you need to put a thank-you in writing, this Certificate of Recognition does it with a timeless layout that organisations, schools and event hosts will recognise straight away. With flowers and Berkshire Swash headings, it has a formal feel, while the Coastal Indigo palette keeps the colours fresh. You will also find it under Volunteering and Awards & Competitions on CerShare.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
Thank you, [Name], for always going the extra mile. We could not have done it without you.
With sincere thanks to [Name] for [Contribution]. Your generosity made a real difference.
Presented to [Name] with gratitude for sharing your expertise at [Event] on [Date].
How to customise it
You can rewrite the whole certificate; the years of service and department fields are already in place, and you can delete the ones you don’t need. Fonts can be swapped too; the defaults are Berkshire Swash and Crimson Pro. Prefer another look? Switch to the Sogan Brown or Madder & Soga colour scheme, or pick any colour you like. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. You can also upload a logo or a photo and place it anywhere on the page.
Printing tips
For the best result, print on ivory or parchment paper of 160–200 gsm. In the print dialog choose “Actual size” rather than “Fit”, so the border isn’t cropped. It fits a standard certificate frame or a document folder.
