How Do I Phrase My Vow Renewal Invites?
by Lisa Milbrand
My
husband and I got married at the courthouse five years ago. Now
that we have the cash, we want to have the big wedding we never
had. How do we put a party like this together?
Go for
it! Have the bridesmaids, the big dress, the bouquets, the band—and
go about arranging those things the same way as you would a first-time
wedding. You'll just need to fiddle a little with the wording of
the invitations and the vows to make the event a reaffirmation.
For formal invitations, try something along these lines:
Mr. and Mrs. Ray Barone
request the honour of your presence
at the reaffirmation of
their wedding vows
Saturday, the fifth of August
at two o'clock (.etc.)
If your party won't be quite that formal, try something like "request
the pleasure of your company as they renew their wedding vows."
As for the vows, say what's on your mind and in your hearts. And
the officiant is sure to have some other suggestions for words that
will suit your situation.
