Wording an invitation to a vow renewal ceremony?

Question

My husband and I have been married for 10 years. We got married by a JP. We are renewing our vows in Aug in the church. It will be a simple ceremony...no wedding party, no bridal march, no fancy white wedding gown, no daddy walking me down the isle, etc. But we are having a simple dinner party afterwards. After 10 years of marriage, we are hardly in the "demand" or "market" for physical gifts or monetary gifts, nor do we expect them. How would I word that in the invitation? Or would I just leave it out and let people do what they want to? Also, any ideas on the overall wording on an invitation like this would be appreciated. Thanks!

at





(then include a reception card/info as you would normally)


As for gifts, you can put "Your presence is the greatest gift of all, nothing else is needed." at the bottom of the invite, however the majority of guests will still bring a gift.

Answer 2

If you want to stick to strict etiquette, you don't mention gifts on an invitation, and rather rely on word of mouth.

However, this is the real world. You could simply put "no gifts, please," maybe adding "your presence will be a wonderful gift."

The honor of your presence is requested at the reaffirmation/renewal of the wedding vows of...

Answer 3

there is no well mannered thank you to ask for or deny presents on a marriage invitation because of the fact the point out of presents in any respect means which you're expecting presents and trhis isn't acceptable. Please attempt to spead the be conscious with the aid of family individuals and close pals that presents are actually not mandatory. even although you do not prefer or anticipate any presents some pals and family individuals might desire to deliver slightly some thing to instruct their esteem and congratulate you and your fiance. Please settle for all presents graciously and deliver a thank you observe. in case you cant use the present or do not prefer it you could actually return or donate to charity.

Answer 4

I would word it that "John and Jane Doe request the pleasure of your company at the renewal of our marriage vows. Please, no presents. The pleasure of your company will be gift enough". Or words to that effect :-)

Have a great time!
