Add the Elf’s Name

The name will appear beautifully centered on the dotted line that says “This is to certify that”.
Add the Adopter’s Name
Enter the name of the person or family adopting the elf in the “Name (adopted by)” field.
For example: The Parker Family or Emily & Oliver.
Choose the Date of Adoption
Select the adoption date using the date picker. The app automatically formats it for you.

Or, select your own custom color with the color picker!
