Intentionality.

The number one word behind The Vow Collective is intentionality.

As a wife, I want to keep my conversations with my husband both meaningful and purposeful.

As a calligrapher, I want my clients to be encouraged to keep their marriage a priority as they encounter their vows on their bedroom walls every day.

As a business owner, I want to always be encouraging couples, as well as a couples’ close friends and family, to always keep things intentional. Whether a couple has just started dating, is recently engaged, is in the middle of planning a wedding, is getting married today, or is celebrating their one year anniversary, a couple needs a community that will love them and ask them how they’re really doing before and after their wedding day.

A couple needs a community with hearts willing and excited to celebrate their union. They need family and friends who will help them consider how to be a healthy and thriving couple beyond their wedding day.

I was grateful to featured in With Joy this month, weighing in on how a couples’ community can have uplifting and positive Engagement Party Etiquette, with— you guessed it— intentionality.

It’s Engagement Season, so if you’ve been invited to an engagement party or know a recently engaged couple, this party etiquette Guide is really helpful!
