I was thinking of surprising them with a vow renewel ceremony with a huge reception afterwards. Does anyone have any ideas for food, decorations, how I can surprise them, or any other info pertaining to this? All ideas will be appreciated!

I know that renewing your vows are treaditionallly done on a milestone. We had originally planned to do it on their 25 but we had a tragic accident happen in our family that kept us from having the celebration at that time...all of our friends and reletives will understand the delay.

My husband and I are planning on renewing our vows for our 25th. We really want to keep it meaningful , we have had a lot happen in the last 15 yrs of marriage and are not using the same music vows etc.. that we had before. I don't think that renewing vows should be a surprise thing, seriously maybe you could hold the reception as a surprise or have things happen during that as a treat they did not know about but it is a ceremony that the couple need to be involved in with the planning. Your mom is going to want to plan her outfit and want pictures done, and your dad may have certain second honeymoon plans that their children may not be apart of. Things that were important to them, they might not have told you about and you will plan THIER day according to your likes. That is really sweet of you to want to do this for them.

i would try to get it close to their origional wedding... the sights of similar decorations and smells of similar foods would probably make them very happy. as for making it a surprise, i don't really see where that would be a problem until the day of - you have to figure out how to get them dressed up and to a certain place - maybe not too hard if you say you are taking them out to a fancy resturant.
but deffinately find some pics of their wedding and use those to guide you in decorations! (my mom used a god awful purple color for some reason, so i probably wouldn't do the same color... but similar things instead). see if you can do it at the same place the origional vows were done - that would probably be the best!

If your dead set on this idea that is great, but usually you don't renew your vow's at a 27th , you usually do it at a landmark like 25th or 50th. People might think its a little weird going to a 27th. But if you really want to do a big to do.... it would be too hard to suprise them... they should be involved with helping. Decorations, you could do Roses as centerpieces, my grandparents had a big to do at their 50th and since that was the GOLD year everything was gold theme, yellow roses, gold vases, gold napkins you get the idea. The food was traditions, a nice chicken plate and or meat place, potaoes vegtables. Good Luck, I hope it works out.

That is so sweet. My cousins gave their parents a surprise ceremony. For Christmas they gave them an invitation to their wedding and that's how they found out. Their 50th anniversary and ceremony was in March and their kids did everything.
I know that for 25 years everything is silver, so you can use silver as color and maybe their favorite color for decor. Get flowers to match the color scheme or buy fall flowers for a fall color scheme. For the food get their favorite. You will probably need a guest book, candles, and flowers. Good Luck! (My parents are about to celebrate their 25th anniversary)
