First time poster here, My husband and I would love to renew our wedding vows, we have been married for 13 years this year, BUT I have no idea where to start, do we have a proper wedding bridal party or so we just renew our vows in a nice clothes, to be honest I would absolutely love to have a wedding again, we had an awful photographer last time and we have no decent photos we don’t even have any on our walls! That’s one thing I would love to have, beautiful photos, and all our children could be in it this time, what do you guys think does it sound corney to do a proper wedding? 🤷♀️

If it's what you both want do it. Who's it going to hurt?
Most renewals I’ve been to have been lower key than an actual wedding. So a bit lower budget etc.
it’s really up to you how big you make it and what you can afford.
I’ve been a rebridesmaid (wearing nice clothes, no specific dress). If someone expected/asked me to pay for a bridesmaid dress for a renewal I would decline.
Again, it’s up to you how much fuss you want. I personally like the lower key events, I think they are very special, intimate moments.
You could still hire a photographer without having all the formality of a proper wedding.
It’s what you want it make it.
I would happily renew vows with my husband and have our kids there but I wouldn't invite anyone else and would find an invitation to someone else's really odd unless it was like 50 years or something.
My parents went to vegas and renewed their vows with Elvis for their 25th wedding anniversary, and then for their 30th us kids decided to hold a surprise party so they could do it again with their friends and family plus celebrate my mum turning 50. Mum wore a beautiful dress each time. You do what you feel comfortable with.
