Save these wedding vow tips!
⏳Timing: start journaling early and then synthesize your vows closer to the big day, write them the week of when you start to feel the building excitement, or something in between!
💌 Format: consider a vow journal or booklet, sweet, cheeky, or custom greeting card, or the stationery from your wedding hotel.
💞Outline: Open with an observation of the here and now, then frame your love story and experiences from past (who you were before meeting and as you built a connection) to present (the decision to marry and leading up to the wedding, gratitude for your partner and support) to future (what you’re most excited for and what you vow to your partner). Close with a sweet and genuine sentiment or inside joke.
😳 Nerves: Consider sharing your vows at a first look before the ceremony to practice getting the words and butterflies out for the person you wrote these for. You can even keep your personal vows private to this moment and opt for more traditional or collaborative vows with your officiant in the ceremony.
