My husband and I are married civilly only, which means of course by the court. We are planning to get married by the church, so, we do not want to have anything big, like a big ceremony or anything of that sort because we actually had it when we got married civilly. What do you recommend? We could go out to eat that day with our family or such as we had thought, but are not sure what to do. On the other hand, we have thought of just keeping it sweet and simple and just inviting the family to church and go eat or something afterwards. Any suggestions appreciated.

Invite them to the church.Then either go to a nice restaurant to eat if you can afford it.If not then have a pot luck at your home, with a small wedding cake for later.Hope you have a great day.

The small church ceremony with close friends/family invited to dinner afterwards would be very nice. Your family/friends that are invited would feel very special and honored to be invited to such an intimate event. There are many restaurants that offer small private rooms (seating 10+) and they don't charge room rentals - the rooms just offer a bit of privacy which is nice. I would be delighted to be invited to a small intimate church wedding and then to a nice dinner somewhere aftewards. And it would be very special if you chose a restaurant that was special to you and your husband (perhaps the first restaurant you went to together, or somewhere that is your favorite location - something showing off your personality). Any restaurant would be wonderful and sweet!

It's your day, even if you have already gotten married. Invite who you wish, plan it any way you like. Easiest way is go according to your budget and people you'd like to invite.
You could remarry in the church with just immediate family and have a barbecue or nice dinner out. Have fun writing up the invitations.
Explain that you are having a small ceremony to renew your vows in the church. But welcome friends and family to share in an informal reception later. Good luck.

I think a very small "family only" wedding in the church would be lovely. If the church has a little chapel that would be very sweet. Make reservations ahead of time at the restaurant of your choice. Ask if they have a private room, that way you will have privacy. Make it as sweet and simple as you want. Sometimes the simpler they are the more beautiful they are. My best wishes for a happy life.

My husband also had a civil ceremony (elopement) and then we kept our marriage quiet and had a big church wedding (only 150 people). After the church service you could arrange for a nice catered meal in the church's common room, for your family and have a nice wedding cake for them to share with you. It doesn't have to be big.

Inviting your family to the church and out to eat afterwards sounds sweet and simple!
Congratulations! (again)

i think that you have a nice idea there! are u going to get married at the church on your anniversary? it would be so much more fun, stress free and intimate to do a small family get together. and you can personalize it and it will be so much more manageable than having a bunch of people!
good luck and congrats!

I'd keep it short and sweet! Just invite your family and then go out to eat...it will be more personal that way...
