You outsource things for your wedding like your makeup and floral design—would you ever outsource your vow writing to someone? Find out how we learned how to write the perfect wedding vows from a complete stranger!
We sat down to talk with Katelyn Stanis, a wedding vow and speech writing expert. She gave us the down low on all things custom vow writing.
Katelyn started her vow writing business, Wedding Words, in 2017 and has been penning couples vows from all over the world ever since. She also works with the maid of honor to write a speech that the bride will absolutely adore.
Here are her five tips to write the perfect wedding vows, personalized and all. Be sure to check out our recent episode with her to listen to all her juicy advice.
Step 1: Gathering material for your vows
Have a brainstorm by spending 20 minutes jotting down any memory or emotion that comes to mind. Then circle the concepts that you want to expand on for your vows.
You can also interview yourself by asking questions and recording your answers. Transcribe the audio and use this as the basis for your wedding vows.
Step 2: Identify themes
Once you’ve compiled some vow writing ideas and notes, start to identify themes.
What themes stand out in your notes? Do you talk a lot about your partner’s sense of humor or their thoughtfulness? Use these themes to anchor your vows and to move the vows forward from one story to the next.
Step 3: Write the first draft
Now that you have an idea of what you want to include in your vows, you can write the first draft. Be sure to start by addressing your fiancé.
Then communicate details about what you love about your partner and your relationship.
Next, detail out specific promises you want to make. Lastly, close with a love-filled sentence.
Step 4: Edit your vows
It’s time to edit your first draft. Start by removing any unnecessary words. If you can read a sentence and it has the same meaning with some of the words removed, go ahead and remove those words. You don’t want to include anything that doesn’t add meaning and impact to your vows.
Be sure to align with your fiancé on the sentiment and tone of your vows too. The last thing you want is for your vows to be full of sweet and sentimental thoughts and for your partner to focus on just having funny wedding vows.
Step 5: Practice reciting your vows
The final step is to practice reciting your wedding vows out loud. Video record yourself so you can watch yourself and make improvements or recite your vows in front of your maid of honor.
Be sure to also print your vows or use a vow booklet. Whatever you do—don’t read your vows from your phone!
Follow these five vow writing steps and you’ll be on your way to creating personalized and perfect wedding vows.

“God, I love being a turtle!” Michaelangelo – you couldn’t have said it any better! You’ve heard it right, the wait is over! This weekend was finally the debut of the gnarliest Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle birthday party that we put together for one of our favorite four year olds! From the four tiered layered cake, to the life sized piñata even down to our Michelangelo character, this party was totally tubular, dude!
Hello there! In August, we participated in Phoenix NACE’s Tantalizing Table event where we were able to create a table design that was both fun and exciting! This was such a blast for us and we couldn’t have been more thrilled about how it turned out to be. Inspired by a piece of fabric from a local Hobby Lobby, we were really able to bring out an exciting tablescape.
Before we get hot and heavy into the wedding season, I wanted to mix things up a bit a share an awesome party that we recently did. Over the summer we were so lucky to be able to throw a 40th birthday party for one of our elite clients. Inspired by Miami’s night life, we were really able to put our creative party side to good use.
Happy Monday! To kick start this week off, I am going to do a quick intro into BTS’s newest team member, me! Yes, you heard it right, today is my very first blog for BTS and I couldn’t be more thrilled!!
BTS Event Management had the opportunity to coordinate a fabulous Sip & See Shower for a very precious newborn baby girl last Saturday. The Chanel perfume bottle was the main inspiration for this black and white themed party and since the little one is Mommy’s third blessing, it was only fitting to go with No. 3 on all the décor. We teamed up with Paper Eskimo for all the paper party products and SN Consulting for all the artwork design and it turned out amazing. Here are some pictures of the wonderful afternoon.
It’s that time of the year again. April showers bring May… weddings! You’re calendar is most likely filled with a handful of bridal showers, especially with wedding season around the corner.
Bridal showers can be delightful- a time dedicated to shower the lovely bride with gifts, love, and support. We understand that, occasionally, things don’t go as planned. Here are a few helpful tips for throwing the perfect bridal shower for a modern bride-to-be:
BTS recently coordinated a wedding that included a food truck in the festivities- yes we said it, a food truck! Food truck mania is all over the country- cities like Austin, Los Angeles, and New York have been paving the way for the food truck craze and now Phoenix is hopping on the bandwagon! Couples are starting to ditch traditional caterers and seek out those on wheels for their weddings.
Personalization? Yes! Please!! Something trendy, fun and functional? Yes, again! Groomsmen gifts AND bridesmaid gifts – always. We are constantly being asked from our clients if we have any cool and unique gift ideas for their wedding party and while we’re at it, do we know how to customize it?
