Product Review Policy

The mission of DIY Bride is to bring the tools, resources, and how-to information for our readers that empower them to create their unique one-of-a-kind wedding. As part of this mission we do review products that are meant to help our community achieve their goals.

We welcome manufacturers, vendors, and public relations firms to submit their products for review.  As standard ethical practice and to comply with the Federal Trade Commission, DIY Bride has the following guidelines in place regarding our product reviews.

1. Every product reviewed on DIYBride.com is an actual product that must be in my possession that I can sample or use for the purpose of review. I do not write reviews of products I haven’t seen/used in person.
2. All reviews are written in my own voice, with my own words, without approval or review by the vendor. I will not copy and paste sales and marketing materials. In no case will I ever guarantee a favorable review to the vendor of a product or service, or to their agents/representatives.Vendor hypertext links, anchor texts, or any other thing of value beyond the policies stated above are not guaranteed.
3. I do not accept guest posts as reviews.
4. Products that are sent to me will not be returned unless requested. (Any product to be returned must be accompanied by packaging and sufficient postage for the return delivery.)
5. If I decide the product is poor/a poor fit for my audience, I will, at my discretion, simply not review it.
6. Should I decide to review your product, I will clearly disclose that the product/sample was provided to me in the text of the review.

Should you have any further questions about product review guidelines, please feel free to contact me.
