Vintage Lutheran Goodness: Baptism, Confirmation and Wedding Certificates – Available Now
I have some classic Lutheran awesomeness to tell you about. We’ve heard for quite some time from folks who ask if they can buy classic/vintage certificates for baptism, confirmation and weddings. I’m pleased to say we dug, literally, into the CPH archive, which is housed in a large vault here (seriously, two huge giant steel doors with old timey-bank vault combination lock dials on each one), dusted off original copies, and now have them ready for you to buy. They are ideal for framing and presentation. They are printed on high-quality acid-free paper to last for years to come. This certificate is 11″ x 14″ and comes with an envelope with a stiff cardboard board to protect it during shipping. Choose “media mail” as your shipping option for the lowest price on shipping. Find somebody with nice handwriting, fill them in, and you are good to go!
I’ll give you links to each certificate and then following the links, large previews of each.

They say there’s no accounting for taste, but my wife says these should have stayed in the vault. Me? I’ve learned not to contradict my wife (nor would I in this case) … but I totally commend CPH for, once again, demonstrating an awesome and winsome responsiveness to its customers! Bravo Zulu!
Every year on the anniversary of my niece’s Baptism I give her a gift. I think one of these certificates will be this year’s gift! Beautiful.
It’s a shame that these certificates went away to be replaced by “modern” versions. Sometimes I think the people in the past knew what to treasure in artwork for their documents.
