Hi there, I have searched, I really have, and I can't seem to find a solid answer. I've read here, multiple times, that it is not necessary to have bridal attendants for a vow renewal. Part of the reason my husband and I have chosen to do a vow renewal is because our friends have talked us into it after feeling slighted for not even being invitedto our wedding 10 years ago. I have four deeply close friends who want very much to be standing up there with me. So is it poor taste to have them? I don't want to make a fool of myself, or offend any more traditional friends or family members who will be invited. Help?

Dear Amy,
The 'why' is that attendants are essentially witnesses for legal reasons. We don't need them for a vow renewal. But, for etiquette reasons we don't use them because it would create a wedding-like feel. We shouldn't create an event that resembles a wedding. That would look a bit silly for an anniversary event. So, it is best to just have a anniversary party. They missed the wedding and there is no way to create one for them.
