A Ten Year Anniversary Renewal of our vows question.?

My husband and I will be having our tenth anniversary in Oct. '08. We have only decided to do this this week. I would love to hear ideas! I have five kids who all love my husband dearly, but it would be difficult to get them all there at the same time. We have seven grandchildren at this time. I want it to be small and intimate. I'd like to get as many of our kids there as we can. I have no idea about a venue or anything else at this point. We live in the Pacific NW/Vancouver, BC area. We were married in Vancouver. Renewing at the original church is a possibility. Should we throw a party after and invite more people? Should we keep it to the small group. Not a lot of money to spend, but we are always able to get a lot of bang for the buck. :)

    I think that renewing your vows for your 10th wedding anniversary is a fantastic idea. I take it that your husband is enthusiastic about this as well?

    Who says you have to have a big party to do this? What about using the church basement or your back yard and throwing a simple party afterwards?

    You don't have to follow traditional wedding reception ideas. You could do something as simple as having the wedding renewal ceremony with the family that can attend, and then on a separate occassion have the party with friends (that way, those who are not included in the ceremony won't feel left out).

    Try to get your kids to all take a weekend vacation at this time, If need be push it back a month or two, so they can attend. A small wedding and maybe a larger reception with a covered dish type get together, so you can invite your friends. Best wishes.

    It would be cool to have it at the same church! It's best just to have a dinner and party at your home after the ceremony, where you can celebrate informally with family and close friends.

    Do it small but have a big party save the big one for the 25th or the 50th

    Small and simple is always the best answer.
