About this template
If you need to mark a family moment, this Christening Certificate does it with a modern layout that churches, parishes, godparents and families will recognise straight away. The colour scheme you see, Lilac Mist, is one of three built into the design, with flowers at the heart of the layout. It works just as well as a certificate of achievement.
Suggested wording
Copy one of these lines into the certificate, then replace the words in brackets.
To [Name], best friend since [Year]. Certified: still the best.
Celebrating [Number] years of marriage: [Names], married [Date].
For [Name], who makes every family gathering better. Signed, [Everyone].
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, officiant, parents and godparents and the signatures. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. Prefer another look? Switch to the Snow & Sage or Powder Blue 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. Add your logo, a crest or a photo and drag it into place.
Printing tips
A smooth, bright white card stock (about 65–80 lb cover) gives the cleanest finish. 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.
