My Top 12 Vow Writing Tips
Keep It Real!
Whether you’re hopeless romantics or the couple that’s always cracking jokes, let your true selves shine through in your vows. Own your story and sprinkle that unique spice of yours all over them.
Start Early!
Grab your phone and jot down every cute, funny, or meaningful moment. That brew your fiancé brings you each morning? Gold! By the time you start officially writing, you’ll have a treasure trove of tidbits to weave into your vows.
Sync It Up!
Discuss how long you want your vows to be. Agreeing on a similar length and structure with your partner will make sure no one’s left with just a post-it while the other has a scroll.
Set the Tone Together!
Decide on the vibe—romantic, humorous, or a bit of both? Make sure you’re both on the same page to complement each other’s words.
Reflect and Connect!
Think about your journey together. Share those milestones and moments that have brought you closer, like your first date or a tough challenge you faced together.
Tell Your Tale!
Your guests will love hearing from you! Sharing a personal story during your vows is a beautiful way to bring them to life.
Be Unapologetically You!
Speak from the heart, use your own voice, and avoid clichés. Focus on what makes your love story one-of-a-kind.
Get Specific!
Share those special memories that mean the world to both of you. Maybe it’s the hilarious trip you took or the quiet moment you realized they were the one.
Shower Them with Love!
Use your vows to express just how much your partner means to you. Highlight their best traits and all the ways they inspire you.
Laugh a Little (or a Lot)!
If humor is your thing, sprinkle in some light-hearted jokes or promises that’ll get a good chuckle from the crowd.
Practice Makes Perfect!
Read your vows out loud, tweak them, and send them over to me. I’ll help you polish them up and make sure they sync beautifully with your partner’s.
You Do You!
Remember, there’s no rule that says you have to share your vows in front of everyone. You can have a private moment during your photo session, or even share them just between the two of you after the ceremony.
OK, those tips are all well and great but how the heck do you structure them?
I always recommend starting with everything you love about your boo, add some vows or promises in the middle, finish it off with your hopes and dreams for the future and a “ILYSM” and BAM - Perfect, swoon-worthy and hilarious vows all wrapped up ready to share with your fave person in the world.
