Using a Fake Marriage License During Your Wedding Planning

Tiffany Bell
A fake marriage license can actually be a creative tool to use in your wedding planning. It can be used for a wedding proposal all the way up to your actual wedding day. There are several different ways that you can incorporate a fake marriage license into your wedding planning. It's unique way to add some personality to your wedding. Here are the different ways you can use a fake marriage license throughout your wedding planning.

Wedding Proposal

Many times a wedding proposal comes as no surprise to the woman. They may be expecting it or maybe they caught on to what the man was planning for that day. Well, a good way to surprise the woman is to hand her a fake marriage license instead of an actual ring box. It's an interesting way to ask someone to marry you. Of course, after she has figured out what the piece of paper actual is, then the man should get down on one knee and properly present her with the engagement ring and ask her to marry him.

Save The Date Announcement

Nowadays, save the date announcements are pretty common to let people know that you are engaged and going to be getting married. Using a fake marriage license is a different kind of save the date announcement. Instead of the fake marriage license reading like an actual marriage license it could say who is getting married, when they are getting married and where they are getting married. It's a unique way to announce your engagement with an official looking marriage license.

Wedding Program

A fake marriage license can also be used for a wedding program. Most couples have some sort of wedding program at their wedding ceremony. Use a fake marriage license template to outline the steps of the ceremony. Or you can keep it really simple and just fill out the marriage license almost like an actual marriage certificate that announces the date of the wedding, who officiated the wedding and the wedding party names. It's a creative way to have a memento of your wedding that even guests at the wedding can keep.

To create a fake marriage license you can use just about any word processing program. Play around with the type and format until it looks like an official document. You can even make your own seal out of your names for the fake marriage license. Visit a paper goods store or an office supply store for official document paper that you can print the license on. If you want to really impress people, look online for templates for fake marriage licenses that you can use for your wedding planning.
