We are having a vow renewal for a 20th anniversary. I need to know how much to serve and how to plan this on a very low budget. We aren't sure of how many will come because we are inviting our chuch members plus family but we don't think there will be more than 50-100 people.
Is it all right to serve something like a sub sandwich at the rehearsal since there will only be a few people there (there are only about 20 people) and chips, soda?

Dear Vow Renewal,
A rehearsal dinner for a vow renewal? You really shouldn't have anything to rehearse. Attendants are not necessary and are not typically part of a vow renewal ceremony. This is a ceremony that you, your husband, and children participate in.
I suppose if you are rehearsing your roles (husband, you and children), this is understandable. You can have any food you wish.
Typically for an open church affair, very simple food like cake, cookies, and maybe sandwiches may be served after the ceremony. It can be even cupcakes and punch.

Thank you so much Wedding Queen for making this much more clear. I couldn't agree more.
Please do not treat your event as if it is a wedding. You may be embarrassed later as you find that this is not appropriate. Please read the page the Wedding Queen suggests. The books she mentioned are wonderful sources of information also.
The point is that we don't want anyone to be without the proper information they need. In addition, we don't want anyone to be embarrassed because they didn't know what is socially acceptable.
