Whether you’ve been married for one year or fifty, an intimate vow renewal ceremony and celebration is a romantic way to honor your marriage and re-commit to the vows you exchanged on your wedding day. Marrying your partner is a big deal. Outside of all the time and energy involved in planning a wedding, there’s also the whole committing to someone for the rest of your life thing. Choosing to reaffirm that commitment years later is just as meaningful—and in some cases even more so—than saying “I do” the first time around. Not sure where to start when it comes to planning a vow renewal? Check out these tips. THE TIMELINE Are you wondering when the right time is to renew your vows? The timeline is different for every couple. You might have made it two years, ten years or fifty years–no matter when you decide to reaffirm your commitment to each other, it’s an important moment to reaffirm your emotions and the way you feel about one another. Some couples choose to renew their vows every year during an intimate ceremony with a close circle of family and friends, while others will wait until a major milestone such as 25 years and throw a huge bash. It all depends on your relationship and personality! YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED The invitation is similar to a wedding invite, except no hosts' names are at the top: "The honor of your presence is requested at the reaffirmation [or renewal] of the wedding vows of Mr. and Mrs. Brian Smith [or Kimberly and Brian Smith]." If the invitation is issued by the children of the couple: "The children of Mr. and Mrs. Brian Smith [or Kimberly and Brian Smith] request the honor of your presence at the reaffirmation ceremony of their parents." THE PLACE Typically, many couples will select locations completely different, from their first wedding ceremony. If you’re looking for something a bit more unique, P2 Party Perfect Co. can help you find the perfect venue for your vow renewal that truly represents your unique love story. Whether you’re an outdoorsy couple looking to renew your vows in a colorful garden or you’d like to jet off to an exotic destination, make sure to choose a place that has special meaning to both of you. THE PEOPLE In comparison to your wedding, a vow renewal is often more intimate. This means coworkers and casual acquaintances might feel out of place. However, many couples are excited to throw a large party with a huge circle of family and friends, so it all depends on who is important in your life. You can also add sentimental touches to your vow renewal ceremony such as having your children escort you down the aisle, or having a close friend officiate the ceremony. Unlike a wedding, a vow renewal isn’t legally binding. This means you may have more options to personalize the ceremony and the people you want to include! And of course, don’t forget about the reception. There is no excuse, why you shouldn’t have a party at the event like this. Great opportunity to get together with friends and family and have a great time. THE VOWS What should you say during your vow renewal? Many couples will reference the original vows from their wedding while adding different lines and new promises that represent the next decade of your marriage. You can also choose to add romantic engravings to your original wedding bands, or get new bands that specifically represent your vow renewal. P2 Party Perfect Co. can help you manage the details and plan a romantic vow renewal that captures the beauty of your marriage.
