Wedding Vow Books - A Perfect Heirloom

I am excited to announce custom printed wedding vow books in my shop! And of course they are all vintage-inspired. Writing your own wedding vows is a lovely way to tell your partner how you feel about them. It seals the deal forever and wedding vow books make great little heirloom gifts to cherish for years to come. I so wish I had known about vow booklets when I got married. I have a crumpled piece of notebook paper with my notes scratched all over and they are barely legible. When you purchase vow books from Gilded Swan Paperie, you receive two customizable booklets with velvety soft covers than can be printed with your choice of gold foil, silver foil or rose gold foil. Or no foil at all. I do not have a color chart because the sky is the limit with your choice of background colors too.

Writing your wedding vows does not have to be an arduous task. Honestly, how do you write your love, hope, dreams etc. about your loved one in a few short words? It's your time to be creative-- to write your own narrative and show your guests what's really behind your relationship. I found a template on Brides.com that starts with these basic points:

* Make sure to say "I love you."

* Tell your partner you will always be there for them.

* Share a personal story or two.

* Make promises.

* Acknowledge the support from others.

That's just a place to start. At the end of the day, the vows are yours and yours alone. They don't have to follow any rules or reasoning. They can be poems, song lyrics, lists, or phrases. It's all up to you.

When you do write your great work, jot them down neatly in a vow book. You'll be able to pull them out to remind yourselves and your offspring why you got hitched in the first place. Make sure to have your photographer shoot your vow books on your wedding day too-- they make great still life photos for your album-- much better than a napkin or a crumpled piece of paper.
