Wedding Anniversary Ideas – Renewing Wedding Vows
♫ Friday, May 28th, 2010Renewing your wedding vows is a very special way to celebrate your relationship, and if the first time around it was not quite what you wanted, now is your chance to put that right. Lots of couples use a big anniversary such as their 10th, 25th, 30th, 40th or 50th to renew their vows, and some couples renew their wedding vows every year.
First think about the type of ceremony that you would both want, and it has to be something that you will both be happy with, otherwise it goes against why you are renewing your vows in the first place. The beauty of vow renewals is that you can have any type of ceremony you want, you are already married so this is not a legal ceremony, instead this is a much more intimate celebration. Some couples have a religious ceremony while others have a friend conduct the renewal ceremony in a place that is special to them.
Next you have to plan the practical side of the celebrations, your budget is going to be a deciding factor and some couples find that they have more money than for their wedding, others find that they have less as their parents helped them. Either way it doesn’t matter as what is important is the love that you both share and the vows that you say to one another.
When you have your budget you will next need to find a venue and decide on a date, most couples try to find a date as close as possible to their wedding anniversary. Your venue can be anywhere, there are no rules to renewing your vows, you don’t have to have a big reception but you can if you want!
You will want to send out invitations to your wedding anniversary celebrations, possible wording for your invitations could be; Please join us as we celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary by renewing our vows, and then give the time and place. Or some couples have their children host the celebration, if this is the case then the wording for the invitation could be Sarah and Bob Smith request the honor of your presence at the vow renewal service of their parents, Jane and Brian Smith, and then give the time and the place.
You now have time to think about what you want to say in your new vows, again this is entirely up to you, there are no right or wrong vows, just make sure you give yourself plenty of time to think about them as this is what is going to take the time!
