What is your fave "Celebration" and why?

Ideas for a wedding celebration?

  • When we got married, we did it at the courthouse with just my parents, his mom and 2 of his siblings. Very small and peaceful. However, we are now planning on holding a celebration of our marriage type thing in October for our extended family and friends. It isn't going to cost us anything really, were having it at a local lake, and going to have a big BBQ/potluck everyone is contributing to. Only 20 or so people are coming, so it's not like were trying to hold a second wedding. However, were a little confused on what is appropriate for this type of celebration. Our main ?s are: Should we renew our vows in front of everyone? Should we have a wedding-tup cake with a brid and groom topper, or just a nice dessert? (His mom will be making it, whatever it is) Should we do toasts? Should we do dedeicated dances, or just have dance music for everyone to enjoy? (we did our first dance when we got married, at the restaurant we went out to celebrate at) Should we hand out favors, considering some people are traveling halfway across the country to be part of this little party? Any other suggestions, ideas, advice ect....? As I said, were not trying to have a second wedding, were trying to have a celebration of us getting married. Were very private people, so we didn't want to have a crowd at our actual wedding, however, we'd love to get everyone together for a little reunion/celebration :-)

  • Answer:

    Congratulations! Since people are traveling far, a little favor or memorabilia from the party would be a classy touch. Here is a website that I like where you can find some really nice and inexpensive items for parties of all kinds, including weddings, anniversaries, showers, etc. You may find a really appropriate item you can buy 20 or 25 of...and I don't believe they have minimum requirements so that is good since the reception is smaller. I hope this helps. Have a wonderful time! http://littleshopoffavors.theaspenshops.com

Why not, go all out, if you want to, you say you are private people, but if you feel o.k. with doing this, then do it. Think about all the well wishers who would have loved to have been there when you were married. If you're gonna do it, I would do the whole nine yards. Yet, have a vow renewal, not a second wedding. You have already made it legal. Have a cake, do toasts, do dances, favors unless something nice to me are a waste of time. Discuss with officiant wording of vow renewal or reaffirmation as this is not a wedding and he will not repeat wedding vows, but can make it a special occasion with wording.

Well you can have a wedding cake if you want. If you want to do a second wedding then renew your vows so it is like the people who wasn't there are there. It is completely up to you. I would do everything except for the wedding dress and you walking down the aisle I will have the wedding cake with a nice decoration on it such as a monogram one. And the BBQ food I will have music playing and we dance but nothing really special in that way just dancing unless a slow song comes on and when dance to that. I would do maybe a little favor with just our name on it but no date or without a name on it at altogether. Good luck sounds fun. Enjoy.
