Questions to think about when writing your promises or vows

How long should you promises be?

Discuss this with your partner and agree on a word count.  I would suggest no more than 250 words.
 

Will you share a joke or would you rather keep things more generic?
Again, best to discuss this before you start writing.

 
Will your promises lean more to the humorous side or sentimental or be a mixture of both?

From personal experience I think a mixture of both works well, that way you can achieve a good balance and avoid being to “mushy” or “jokey”.
 
Will you keep your promises secret and only share them on the day?

Lots of couples do this but do remember to send me a copy of your promises to your Celebrant.  This way they can ensure that the promises are of approximately the same length and tone and then have an individual chat with you if there needs to be any adjustment.
