A wedding officiant is a crucial person of your wedding ceremony. They orchestrate the ceremony, declare the couple married, and process the marriage license. This is why you need to express your gratitude towards your wedding officiant!

If you haven't asked your officiant yet....

We have a great idea on for how to ask your officiant to perform your ceremony! A personalized puzzle is a fun idea. The jigsaw puzzle will read "Will you officiate our wedding?" and can be personalized with the officiant names, the couple's named and wedding date. 

Ways to Express Gratitude

Gratitude can be expressed in many ways including writing a handwritten note, creating something handmade, or even gifting a personalized gift!

Handwritten Note

A handwritten note is a kind way and a genuine way to show gratitude! 

Here is an idea of what you can write:

We can't thank you enough for being part of our wedding day. Having you officiate meant the world to us. You made the ceremony feel personal, heartfelt, and so “us.” We’re so grateful for the love and intention you brought into every word.

Writing from the heart is the most meaningful way to express your gratitude and thank your officiant. Whether it's short or long, it will mean a lot. 

Handmade Gift

A handmade gift is also a great way to show appreciation and gratitude.

Create a gift that feels natural to you. Focus on what you do well, and let that guide your creative process! One fun idea is to use pressed flowers from the wedding bouquet to create a piece of art.
