Vow Renewals

The two of you said your vows, perhaps long ago. Whether you'd now like a quiet ceremony for the two of you to reaffirm just how much you mean to each other or a party for your family and friends to celebrate your love, planning a vow renewal is an easy task with the help of many resorts. Since you no longer have the legal paperwork needs of a wedding, you'll find that just about any destination makes a great place for a vow renewal--no need to worry about marriage regulations!

Where to start? First, decide if this is an event for just the two of you or one you'd like others to share. Asking others to travel perhaps out of the country to your vow renewal can be a little more complicated (but it makes for a great vacation for all the guests!)

Is there a destination that's long been special to the two of you? The place you met? The site of your honeymoon? Or maybe just a location you've always dreamed fo visiting?

Once you've decided on your location, talk with several hotels in the area. Do they have someone on staff who can help set up a vow renewal for the two of you? Many resorts have vow renewal packages (and, in some cases, they're even complimentary to guests.) Find out your options.

But first, enjoy the articles linked below. Here you'll find some in-depth info, from writing invitations to a vow renewal to special etiquette tips.
