About this template
Here is a contemporary way to mark a family moment: the Slate Moonlit Welcome to the World Certificate, a template that suits families, friends and wedding planners. On CerShare it comes in the Lilac & Mint colour scheme, with a crescent moon as the centrepiece; the lettering pairs Varela Round with Quicksand. 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.
Awarded to [Name] for [Reason], with hugs from [Family].
Welcome to the world, [Baby’s name]! Born [Date] at [Time], weighing [Weight].
Happy [Occasion], [Name]! With all our love, [Family names], [Date].
How to customise it
Click any line to change it: the recipient’s name, the wording, the date, born, time and weight and the signatures. Change the font or the size of any line if your text is longer than the sample. It works in landscape or portrait, on A4 or US Letter, without you having to move anything. The design comes with three colour schemes (Butter & Sage, Apricot & Teal and Lilac & Mint), and every single colour can be changed. There is an Arabic edition too, laid out right to left with Lemonada.
Printing tips
Bright white matte paper of 160–200 gsm keeps the colours crisp. Print one copy on plain paper first to check the spelling and the margins. Sign it in blue or black ink once it is printed for a personal touch.
