Long distance vow renewal planning

Megan, on September 13, 2023 at 7:19 PM Posted in Planning 1 4
What tips and tricks do y'all have for planning a ceremony long distance? My husband and I live in Vermont and due to family travel restrictions we are attempting to plan the event to be held around Lincoln Nebraska. It's our 10 year wedding anniversary and to celebrate we're having a wedding "redo"/vow renewal ceremony. We got married at the courthouse the first time and I didn't have practically any family there, so while I know it's not popular to treat vow renewals as weddings that's what we're doing. To be honest I have no idea what I'm doing though! We're not exactly rich but is it worth it to hire a planner? Or should I spend the money elsewhere? I've got open ears for advice!

    Hiring a planner sounds like a good option here because they would know what venues and vendors would be a good idea (and within budget!) Your best bet would be to get quotes to see who would be the easiest and most affordable to work with. Best of luck!

    If you know the area at all and are on a tight budget, I don't think a planner is needed. You'd plan the same way as that you would for any large celebratory social occasion. First determine your spending, the guest list, and the general timeline, then look at venues that will accommodate. After that decide if you want your own caterer, music, a photographer, decor, lighting, transportation etc. Financial priorities are the only limit. That said, I tend to agree with those who say ten years into a marriage sounds like a good time for an anniversary party, and that vows don't expire. But if you are intent on a ceremony, speeches etc. you'd incorporate that as well. Your dress can be any color, including white. You can have a cake, dance, have speeches etc. In other words, this party can be as lavish as any wedding reception.

    Since you are a married couple, not a bride, however, I would not have pre-wedding parties, bridesmaids and groomsmen, or register for gifts. That would be rude.
