My husband's frat Brother got married on July 1st of this year. He is having a "2nd wedding" renwal of vows on Sept. 9th for all of the friends and family that couldn't come to the first wedding in Davis, Ca. the 2nd wedding will be held in Barstow, CA. Hubby is the best man in both weddings. Wondering if we should bring a gift to this wedding? We got them a gift for their first wedding. or will a nice card do?
Thanks!
Jennifer

I don't think I would fell obligated to bring anything. So yes a card should cover it.

etiquette doesn't require you to bring a gift to a vow renewal but does state that you shouldn't show up empty handed.A gift would be a great gesture if you are really close like your husband is his bestfriend now if you havent talked to this guy since the first wedding then you could just go with a card.I think that since you husband is in the wedding that giving a gift is better than a card since he has a larger part in the day instead of just a second wedding guest.

Yes, I think that will be just fine. I would hope they're not having another wedding just to get more gifts/money. I'm sure that's not what they expect of you at all. A nice card with good wishes is great!

Generally, a gift is not expected at vow renewal ceremonies, since a wedding gift is traditionally to help the bride and groom start their new home together. At a vow renewal ceremony, the bride and groom already HAVE a home together. And yes, I realize that alot of couples getting married already live together and have a home together, but it's a tradition.

i would just take a nice card to give them and don't worry about taking a gift as you have already given them their gift. Go and enjoy the second wedding and have fun
Take care

A nice card will do just fine. You could get them a small gift if you want, or another gift if you're well off.

I don't think a second gift would be necessary. This is for the people that missed the first wedding.

I believe that a nice card or gift would be a nice thing to do. If it were me, I'd give them a card.

I hate this tacky trend of second weddings. You get one wedding per marriage.
No, there is no reason to gift a second time if you don't feel like it.

A nice card will do. A gift would be extra sweet.
