Fake Marriage License

From LoveToKnow Weddings

A fake marriage license can be used throughout the wedding planning process, from the proposal to the thank you cards.

Create a faux license for fun!

A License to Propose

Men (and women) are always looking for a new and creative way to propose to their significant other. Instead of the traditional marriage proposal, where the man gets down on one knee, he can use a fake marriage license.

This is the perfect idea for women who have an inkling that a proposal might be on the way. A jewelry box and fancy dinner is a tell-tale sign that a proposal is on its way, so throw her off by handing her what appears to be a card with a gift certificate. Instead, she will open the paper to find a fake blank marriage license. He can then ask her if she would mind helping him fill in the blanks.

Mailing a love letter and marriage license can be a great way for long distance lovers to propose. Just because your pocketbooks are not full enough to propose in person does not mean your heart is empty. Practical couples might want to save the plane ticket money to use towards the wedding expenses. Military members may also find this a perfect way to propose from a long distance.

Announce an Engagement

A fake license can be used as an engagement announcement or wedding save-the-date card. Use a background and format similar to a real marriage license, but change the wording. An example of this would be:

Certificate of Upcoming Marriage
of the State of Love
This certificate indicates that Jason Bluejay and Michelle Robin
are to be united in marriage
on August 27, 2008 in Happytown, LoveState.

Witnesses are expected to include numerous loved ones,
so be sure to mark the date on your calendar!

Hereby Signed
Jason and Michelle
May 23, 2008

The announcement can be tri-folded and mailed in a standard business envelope. Couples may choose to include an engagement photo or further details, especially if it happens to be a destination wedding.

Bridal Shower Fun

A great way to use a fake marriage license is to use it for a bridal shower game. Create a word game where guests are asked to fill out papers with various adjectives, nouns and verbs describing the bride and the groom. Each word corresponds with a specific point in the license wording. Feel free to make subtle changes to a traditional license for more humorous results. Once everyone has finished, have everyone stand up and read their version of the marriage license aloud.

Wedding Information

Couples today are tuned into the entire wedding planning process. Therefore, a large number of them host wedding websites and send out wedding newsletters to important friends, family and bridal party members.

Make a fun license using free wedding clipart and save it to your computer. Every time you need to make an update, simply bring up the template and change the wording. This will keep everyone up-to-date and ensure that no one erases a telephone message or tosses a plain sheet of paper with important information.

Of course, the most important information to impart is your thanks to everyone who helped. A printable wedding certificate can be a unique way to express gratitude for physical help, emotional support, and wedding gifts.

Create a Fake Marriage License

Print your own fun license.

Almost anyone with a computer and word processing program can create a basic looking marriage license. Simply open up the program and play with font size and type until it looks like an official certificate. Those with more extensive editing programs can use graphics and backgrounds to add to the authenticity.

If you do not have access to a good program or simply do not have the time to make one yourself, you can purchase them online. Two places to get them include:

A fake marriage license can be an amusing addition to wedding preparations, start to finish. Of course, fake licenses should not be attempted to be used for legal purposes; they are for personal fun use only.
