Wedding vows workbook with guided prompts and 4x6 and 5x7 vow cards

This wedding vows workbook offers a clear plan, good questions and a quiet place to draft, so writing your own promises feels far less daunting. Over 23 pages it guides you from the first brainstorm to finished vows on 4 x 6 in and 5 x 7 in cards you print at home.

It comes as US Letter and A4 PDF files, ready as an instant download. Nothing is mailed to you.

How the wedding vows workbook makes writing easier

Rather than waiting for inspiration, you respond to focused prompts about how you met, what you adore about your partner and the moments that made you who you are together. Then you shape the best answers into real promises.

You can pick from a classic outline, a storyteller outline or a short and sweet one, and each spells out what goes where. Page 14 turns your word count into speaking time and adds reading tips and a log for rehearsals, so the day itself feels calm. When the words are final, write them onto vow cards or into a small booklet with a his, hers or my vows cover.
