Just wondering

Check out the following: https://www.theknot.com/content/renewing-your-vows and https://www.brides.com/vow-renewal-guide-4802301#toc-sample-renewal-vows, if you haven’t already.

The biggest difference I’ve seen (I’ve been a guest numerous times) between vow renewals (10 years and under) and weddings is guest size, as the couple tends to just invite their immediate family and/or closest friends - similar to a micro wedding. They also did not have bridal parties. Many of them were at destination locations, so they had a less formal dress code (beach or cocktail attire), albeit many couples wore wedding attire (some wore their original attire). The few vow renewals (25 years, 30 years, 40 years) that had larger guest lists were similar to anniversary parties, focusing more on food and conversation at a local venue.
