what is so wrong with having a formal renewal of vows. As long as the guest understand that it is a renewal of vows and no gifts are needed. I believe that if a person wants a formal renew they should be able to do so. They must let the guest know that it is a renewal and that their attendance would be wonderful but not required. Besides it just might bring back memories of why some got married in the first place. Remind them of the romance that was once a large part of their own lives before kids and bills. Romance is what I want my guests to remember and feel when I renew my vows with my husband of 10 yrs.

The vow renewal should not appear as a wedding. It is not a gift giving event so, unless you're asked directly about gifts, no mention of gifts is necessary. Top Wedding Questions Forum Moderator - "Write your sorrows in the sand, your blessings in stone".
