Betty Ward

Wedding planner turned gift curator with a Southern heart.

Betty Ward has spent over 12 years making sure couples in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast never receive a forgettable wedding gift — and she takes that personally. Based in Philadelphia, she brings a Certified Wedding Planner credential and a Communications degree from the University of Georgia to her role as gift curator at GiftRobo, where she covers wedding and romantic gifting with the kind of specificity that only comes from coordinating 200+ weddings across Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Georgia. Her curated bridal gift guide earned a feature in *Philadelphia Wedding Magazine*, and three boutique retailers have tapped her to shape their romantic occasion lines. True to form, she maintains a color-coded spreadsheet of every gift she's ever given — 147 entries and counting, organized by recipient reaction.
