  Wow, tough crowd in here, eh? Way to attack without offering any sort of advice for a best way forward.

  
  

  The phrasing you are looking for is "Vow Renewal" that is officially what your celebration is. 

  LOL...so stating a fact (you are legally married, therefore cannot have a 'wedding') is somehow attacking the OP??

  
  

  Plenty of posters, myself included, offered polite advice on how she can plan her celebration...so I don't know what you are complaining about...

  Why don't you do something like "We signed the papers, now it's time to say our "I'do's...." on your invitation.
  

  They can't....because they did.

  That's your opinion.  She didn't ask our opinion on having it or not, just what wording to use.

  It's not an opinion, it's fact.  They can't use that working because they already said their "I do's" when they were legally married.

  
  

  They could use something like "Please join us to celebrate our marriage" because that states that it's a celebration for an event that already occurred, which is exactly what it is.

  Welcome to the world of internet forums where opinions are like assholes, everyone has one.

  
  

  Questions on here are never cut and dry or black and white.  99% of questions on here have multiple answers and directions you can go, thus why opinions and such are very important in responses.  The OP asked us how she should word her invite for a wedding ceremony/reception but noted that she has already been married a year.  Well that is like me asking which weapon should I use to kill my neighbor a knife or an ax.  Now I am sure you wouldn't respond with "oh an ax, definitely".  You would most likely respond with "you shouldn't kill your neighbor at all."  I could say that would just be your opinion and that I didn't ask for an opinion but you wouldn't feel right with just giving me a cut and dry answer now would you?  Same goes for this thread.  These forums are to guide brides from making horrific mistakes and stop them from looking like asses. Throwing a PPD when you are already married makes you look like an ass.  Which is why posters suggested that OP have a vow renewal or anniversary party.

  Oy.  The OP is struggling with wording because there are no words A MARRIED COUPLE can use to invite people to their WEDDING CEREMONY AND RECEPTION.  This is not a difficult concept.

  Would you also be upset if you asked me if your hair looked ok and I informed you that you had lipstick on your teeth? Because you certainly didn't ask me about lipstick on your teeth, but I'd assume you'd want to know if you were going to do something embarrassing and didn't realize it (like show up to work with lipstick on your teeth or try to have a wedding when you're already married).
  

  Don't worry guys, I have the Wedding Police AND the Whambulance on speed dial!

  Unless they have a time machine and are going back to the day they got married or they are filing for divorce/have filed for divorce and are now getting married again, they cannot invite people to witness their wedding.  It already happened.
  
  @Maggie0829 : Good analogy!
