Vows

I had them printed on a regular piece of computer paper, and my husband had his on a sheet from a notepad. I've never seen a couple memorize their vows. They usually read them or repeat them if just doing the standard.

I'd rather read from a card than to memorize anything, no matter how short and sweet. The officiant can keep track of it for you up until then. Way too many nerves and excitement to retain it to memory, especially since very few people are used to or comfortable speaking in front of crowds.

Etsy sells very pretty vow books. For her and him.

You can definitely keep notes I feel like most people don't memorize them

I'll definitely be reading mine off paper. Even if I could memorize it, I feel like I'd forget once I actually have to say it because I'd be so nervous lol.

I would definitely have them written down because even if you memorize them you could easily forget them because of nerves.

We wrote ours down and read them. Even if you want to memorize them you may get nervous and forget them.

You can read them

I have never seen anyone memorize them.

Agree with previous posters and I've seen some really pretty vow books on etsy, Amazon etc

I was going to say the same keep them written with you as you may get nervous even if you have memorized them. People understand that.

My officiant actually typed ours and put them on notecards for us so we didn't have to remember/forget them!

I bought some beautiful, personalized vow books off of Etsy and we read our vows.

Have them written down, or buy some nice vow books! Etsy has super cute designs that won't kill your wallet. If you're brave enough to memorize them, then more power to you, but I'm team 'written vows'. It takes stress off of you, and you won't be worried about forgetting anything.
