In April I'm renewing my vows with the hubby but we don't know if we need a ring bearer because we've been married so we already have the rings. Are we suppose to take them off and let the ring bearer carry them or do we just keep them on and skip that part?

I will also be renewing my vows, I will have a ring bear, and flower girl. We will be getting new rings. We only got cheap ones origionally, we will get good ones now. Also keep in mind that this is your day. It is your decision wether you and hubby were marrying for the first time or vow renewal. If you want to leave something out of the traditional setting, that is YOUR choice. Who cares what other people think :) Good Luck to you :)

okay- its all about what you want!
I actually used two little girls. All the little boys (parents) were butts and not worth the hassle- you know.
We has a renissance wedding and they were fairies and each had a wand covered in tons of streemers with the rings tied to it. and sparkeld the glitter all the way down the isle. So fun to watch as we got the real rings actually saftey pinned inside the grooms coat pocket.
Best Advice! Lighten up and Make it all yours!
Its spring time and where ever you have your happy event. HONEY its your wedding again! YES do it right!!! That means for you- the first one was the "show" for all the others, this time there are NO rules- so dance naked and make them all wear pointed red hats if you want. Think outside of the box- if you want a BBQ and sit on Harley's and the I DO is rumm rumm. then so be it.
I have been too-
70's hippy revival, no shoes a requirement
(keys were checked at that event)
Beach style wedding- from "nothing" ( for real) to full blown Vera Wang gowns and live bands.
Ranch Wedding- on a hilltop with carriage rides to the tents for bbq and a moon light dance. Kids had a petting zoo and attire was red shirts and blue jeans. The photos were amazing, The couple in all white, the sea of red people and the bluebonnet flowers. No groomsmen or bridesmaids, yet they did have a couple of kids led up on a painted pony for rings.
Good luck!

You don't "need" a ring bearer to begin with - usually people choose a small boy that's special to them, but it's not a necessary part of the ceremony. And a lot of people don't even trust the child with the actual rings - he sometimes carries plastic ones on a pillow, and the best man (or best man and maid of honor) hold the actual rings.
(It's often really more of a "figurehead" position, if you will.)
But you're free to do whatever you want - it's your ceremony. You might want it to be different from your first, or very similar. As long as you're happy with it.

I say skip it if you don't have a ring bearer available. I've been to some first time wedding that didn't have them either. Have a witness that you are both close to hold and present the rings.

No need for a ring bearer... even if it was your original wedding you don't have to have a ring bearer. The best man can hold the rings and present them at the appropriate time.

Skip it. A ring bearer isn't even needed for the ceremony the first time around.

I'm not renewing, but when I remarry next year, I'm not having one. Plus, I never knew why you needed one in the first place if the best man has them in his pocket. (ever think about that?)
Ax the bearer, enjoy your day, don't stress the small stuff, and have a sip of champagne for me please!
Congrats & Good Luck!

For a TEXTBOOK-version, Yes, the rings show an exchange of part of the vows.
I have seen some weddings wherein an "alternate" version of A RING BEARER presented the rings; I have seen the couple's PET(s) bring in the rings in the procession. It would ultimately depend upon your own view of THE CEREMONY.
%Thoughts to consider.

Renewing your vows does not involve throwing a mock wedding, with attendants and "all the trimmings" as they say. In fact, it would be in very poor taste. Just have a simple vow renewal with close family and friends.

If you have kids, or someone special in both your lives, it would be nice and special to have them participate.
In answer to your question, no you don't need a ring bearer.
