Question from Tasha:
We want to renew our wedding vows on New Years Eve. It has been 10 years for us we never had a ceremony, and want to have a ceremony in church with a bridal party. What do you think about that? We are having a private lunch the next day for close family and friends, is this okay? Last question is it okay to send out reply cards so I can enough wedding favors for my guest that come out?? Thanks for all your help.
Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:
Hi Tasha and congratulations on your anniversary. A big YES to all of your questions. It is perfectly acceptable to plan your anniversary in the way you suggest. Many people, when they first get married, do so when they are starting out and don’t always have the money for a large celebration. An anniversary is the perfect time to do this!
The main difference you would have from a wedding is that this is your anniversary. Invitations, and the ceremony itself will reflect these changes. Your clergy can help you with the changes to the wedding ceremony wording, and if you look at these previous posts, you will see some examples of how to word the invitations. If you are purchasing invitations from a printer, they will also give you some examples of how the wording would be different for a renewal of vows ceremony vs a wedding ceremony.
Enjoy your celebration. If you have other questions, please feel free to write again.
