I also think that these certificate-like or poster-style items create both a family heirloom for all couples but a document to formalize same-sex marriages in states where there is no legal document to otherwise do so. Jesse and I plan to create one that fits into our theme and invitation/stationary suite. Guests can sign that they witnesses our wedding. Then when marriage equality is achieved in Minnesota, we can just go down to City Hall and have ourselves an intimate affair. The fact that we will get to do another wedding-related activity in the future is my silver-lining on being able to get legally married. Two weddings! Two accent color-schemes! Two dress--wait, four dresses! I'm a little out of control about it, like most things wedding.
There a ton of really great poster ideas out there that are amazingly creative. Here is a simple one from lovliday on Etsy.
This is a cute idea using thumbprints. It's from one of my all-time favorite weddings on 100 Layer Cake. More photos can be seen here:
The genius behind Rifle Paper, Co. has had various wedding posters show up on blogs in the past. Here is one of her delightful creations:
These witness certificates slash guest books can be easily created using Word even and a few graphics from my favorite place for inspiration The Graphics Fairy. Or you can ask a friend who draws to draw you up picture that you can scan and have printed out by a local print company. In Minneapolis, the company I consult for has had a great experience with 7 Corners Printing on Snelling Ave. in St. Paul, MN. And they are union to boot so if you are hoping to have a socially conscious wedding that values sustainable working conditions, you can feel good using them. They also can help you with putting together your poster if you would like.
