What a sweet sister you are! No, you don't have to give her a wedding shower. Quests will bring gifts to the cermoney. If you a few close friends wanted to take her, that you would be ok. Did she have a wedding shower before she got married? If she did then I wouldn't think a shower would be neccessary. Of course if she didn't have a shower for some reason, then I think it would be fun to give her one. You could put on the invitations something, like better late than never, something indicating that she didn't have recieve a shower 15 years ago.
She will love anything that you do for her, if it's just going out to lunch or for a few drinks with the girls. But as far as a have to, no you don't have to do anything when someone is renewing their vows. Congratulate the couple!
God bless us all.....................

For a vow renewal, don't worry about a traditional shower.
Maybe a small gathering for a specialty party. Like a lingerie shower. Something to spice it up.
This will take less planning than a regular bridal shower, as it can be more casual. It will give your sister time to relax & enjoy her friends.
Have fun with it!

No shower is required. However, if you want to do something you could always consider a lingerie party (I would not put shower on the invites). Perhaps she can renew her love-life along with her vows... :) Since you put "have" I would assume that you really don't want to. I'd go with the party if you feel pressured to do something. But if there is no pressure, I'd just leave it alone. After 15 years I'm sure that she is not expecting a shower....

Isn't a shower a party to celebrate the upcoming event (marriage)? Vow renewal is just, let's face it, an anniversary party with a script. (After all, it's not like the vows EXPIRE, right?) A party to celebrate an upcoming party seems a little over the top.
But hey, if you want to do it and she wants to do it, go for it... just make it clear that it's not a shower in the traditional, gift-giving, sense.

VOWS. The word is VOWS.
No, you never give a wedding shower to someone who is already married. Also, family members should never be hosting a shower anyway- it's bad manners.

No, but a nice tea luncheon for your sister, the moms, and the maid of honor might be a really nice surprise. That is so awesome that they want to renew their vows!

Nope, she's already married. The renewal is the only party there needs to be.

It would be fun but instead of giving her gifts for her home you can make it like a naughty party to spice up her bedroom. You will have fun and she will appreciate it. Have a great time and Good Luck. :D

I wouldn't necessarily have a 'shower' per se`, but a celebratory party would be nice. And should someone want to bring a gift........

No, dear, the renewal is just symbolic, and frankly, I have never quite understood that whole thing. Anyway, no gift required.
