Disclaimer: before anyone jumps my ass by looking at my old posts, I was apparently planning a PPD (I didn't lurk enough or know how wrong everyone seen them until later). This in no longer the case. *see there are some ladies that take y'all's advice ;)

We are having a religious ceremony/blessing followed by a celebration.

How would I word this on the invitations? It's our 5th anniversary *yes we went through a trying period where we separated for a few months/considered divorce, this was 3 years ago.

Edit: forgot a word :)

Re: Invitation wording for a vow renewal

  • Mr & Mrs Already Married
    Request the Honor of your Presence
    as they renew their Marriage Vows

    Location
    Date
    Time
  • It depends on the tone you want to set, but keep it simple. Do not use the word wedding, because it's not one - stick to vow renewal, and you'll be fine.

    If you are hosting:

    (husband name) and (wife name)
    request the pleasure of your company
    at their vow renewal ceremony
    at (name of the place for the ceremony),
    CITY, STATE
    on (day) the (date) of (month)
    at  (time)
    and at the celebration afterwards
    to be held in the (place of celebration).

    If anyone else is hosting for you then you would replace the beginning with their names and add who it is for afterward.

    Congratulations on working through a rough patch in your marriage. I am always happy to see when people fix what is broken rather than discard it (when it can be fixed of course).


  • The word wedding will not be used anywhere lol and we will be hosting, I really like that @aefitz29 and thank you! It was definitely a rough road getting to where we're finally at and I'm so thankful we didn't discard it, even though we lived separately for 2 months we had always said When we got married divorce was not an option (obviously sometime that's not always possible) but in our case we we're able to make it work and are happier than we ever were before :)
  • I would try to add in something about your 5th Anniversary, maybe on the reception card.  It's a small milestone, but it's significant and something to celebrate, in addition to the renewal.  Just my opinion.
