5 Things to Know When Planning Your Vow Renewal
There comes a time in every married couple?s life when they consider renewing their vows. Maybe they?ve just hit a major milestone, like a 50-year anniversary. Maybe they?ve just made it through a particularly difficult time in their lives and they want to celebrate by reaffirming their commitment. Maybe they just want to have a party with all their friends and family!
Whatever the reason, a vow renewal can be a very fun and romantic way to celebrate your love and commitment for your spouse. However, if you decide to throw this kind of shindig, there are a few things you need to know. Here are some tips that will help you plan a vow renewal ceremony that everyone will appreciate.
1. It?s Not a Second Wedding
The first thing you need to remember is that your vow renewal ceremony is NOT your wedding. While weddings tend to be grand, extravagant affairs draped in pomp and circumstance, vow renewals are meant to be intimate, personal affairs with a much more laid-back vibe. This is a big distinction that will impact every part of the planning process, so it?s important to set your expectations right from the start. Of course, you can have some wedding-inspired elements in your vow renewal; you can carry a bouquet, you can wear white (but not a wedding dress), and you can have the renewal ceremony in a church if you so choose. But these elements should still be more relaxed and casual than your standard wedding ceremony. Keep this in mind as you plan and try not to go overboard...
