Wedding Vow Tips & Tricks

Writing meaningful vows requires focus and intention. Begin with these tips to express yourself confidently.
1

Draft messy, then perfect.

Dump bullet points into the  builder first. Turn them into sentences after, or let the builder do it for you.
2

Pick one theme and stick to it.

Whether it’s gratitude, growth, home, or something else, choose one main theme so your vows feel cohesive.
3

Promise actions, not vibes.

Swap “I’ll always support you” with “I’ll proofread grant apps and walk the dog daily”. Being specific sticks.
4

Edit for breath, not just grammar.

Read your vows aloud a few times. If you can’t say a line in one breath, break it up. Practice before the big day!
