Can We Expect Wedding Gifts For A Renewal Of Vows? – Ask The Expert Answer

Question from Holly:

My husband and I are going to renew our vows on our 5th wedding anniversary, the first time we didn’t have a wedding with our friends and family there. Should I expect people to give us wedding gifts even though we are already married?

Answer from Bridal Expert Angela:

Hi Holly, and congratulations on your upcoming wedding. From an etiquette point of view, wedding gifts are never to be expected. Some people will want to give gifts, some will want to give money, and there are always a few who don’t give anything. I suggest you register at a few bridal registries with items that you need. This video on wedding gift etiquette will give you the guidelines to follow when planning your wedding.

Good luck, and feel free to email again.
