What is a vow renewal- A vow renewal is a heartfelt ceremony where a couple reaffirms their commitment and love for each other.

How many people are typically invited to a vow renewal?
Great question! The correct answer is, as many as your heart desires. Renewing one’s vows can look different to many couples. Some envision a small intimate ceremony with just the couple. Others opt for their closest family and friends to be present. And then there is the couple that wants to go all out and invite hundreds.
Some couples never had a memorable ceremony. Maybe they went to the courthouse or got married in someone’s backyard. Now, this is their time to celebrate and have all of the bells and whistles! So, it’s from two to hundreds that can be at your ceremony. The sky is your limit as well as your pocketbook.

Should I write my own vows?
As an officiant, I am honored to preside over a couples wedding. I officiate over many Courthouse weddings, Elopements, Intimate weddings as well as Vow Renewals. I always ask the couple, if there are any special, funny, loving, antidotes that I can incorporate in the vows. I feel that it is more meaningful when the vows are unique and have special touches that takes the couples journey into account. Saying that, I encourage the couple, if they feel comfortable to write their own vows or at least to be prepared to say something from the heart to each other. However, some people simply feel uncomfortable for many reasons, they prefer that I handle the whole thing. So, the bottom line is yes, speak from your heat but only of that suits you and you feel comfortable. Heartfelt vows typically bring tears to everyone’s eyes.

Should I have a reception after I renew my vows?
That is a personal preference. However, most people do have something following the vow renewal ceremony.

Should I expect gifts?
It’s not customary for guests to bring gifts to a vow renewal ceremony as they might for a wedding.
However, if you do want a gift, you may register and let the invitees know or say something like in lieu of a gift kindly contribute to our honeymoon fund.
Typically, the couple already has established their home and life together, so they have all of the items that are given as wedding gifts.
However, if guests do wish to give something, it’s suggested that the gift be sentimental or symbolic, reflecting couple’s journey together1. Some guests might choose to give a card with heartfelt words, a bottle of wine, or contribute to the honeymoon fund. Ultimately, if you’re planning your own vow renewal, you shouldn’t expect gifts. But if you do get them, consider it a bonus.
Should we plan a honeymoon?
Planning a honeymoon after renewing your vows can be a wonderful way to celebrate your continued commitment to each other. Is there a sentimental place that you’ve longed to visit? What a better time to set those plans in motion. For some couples this may be the honeymoon that they never had.
A honeymoon can be the perfect conclusion to your vow renewal, offering an opportunity to relax and spend quality time together. But most importantly is the fact that you renewed your vows and your commitment together. Anything else that is within your budget and comfort zone is icing on the wedding cake.
Remember, the goal is to celebrate your love and enjoy each other’s company. Make sure to plan some downtime to simply relax and be together.
In conclusion- A vow renewal is a beautiful opportunity to reflect on the past, cherish the present, and look forward to the future together.
