COVID is Over. Now You Can Plan a Party.
The pandemic lockdowns and limitations forced many couples to postpone their weddings or hold much smaller ceremonies that may not have aligned with their “dream wedding.” Vow renewals give couples the opportunity to celebrate their marriage with friends and family regardless of how long they’ve been married. With covid restrictions being lifted and life returning to normalcy, many couples are holding vow renewal ceremonies or wedding anniversary celebrations to finally hold the gathering they’ve always wanted. Even if you’ve already been legally married for some time, your vow renewal or anniversary reception can be like a normal wedding in every way. The celebration can include all of the same formalities as a normal wedding would, including special dances, toasts, and cake cutting.
Whether you’re renewing your vows or simply having a celebratory reception, here’s what you need to know about these celebrations of your love.
The Ceremony
Some couples might choose to skip the vow renewal ceremony and simply hold a party to immediately start the celebration, while other couples may decide that they want to have a renewal that is like a typical wedding processional in every way. Since you’re already married, an ordained officiant isn’t a must, and you can have a ceremony as unique as you are as a couple. This also means that your vows may look a little different than they would for a typical wedding, but you can get as creative as you want with it.
What to Wear
What you and your guests wear is totally up to you. If the bride never got her big wedding dress moment during your original wedding ceremony, this celebration is the perfect opportunity to wear the dress of her dreams. The attire you choose for this event should be based on what you feel is appropriate; there are no rules you must follow.
Who To Invite
If you postponed your wedding celebration due to covid restrictions, chances are you didn’t have more than five people to witness. Now’s the chance to invite your original guest list, plus those who were able to make it to your real ceremony. Since some time has passed, you may have additions or subtractions to make to your original list too.
Gifts
Even though you’re already married, there’s nothing wrong with having a gift registry for your delayed celebration. In fact, your guests have probably been hoping to spoil the newlyweds after all this time. Don’t forget to keep your registry updated and easily accessible to your guests, or if you decide to opt for no gifts, make it clear in your invitation so there is no confusion.
