2 year anniversary party??

Hey there! I’m looking for some guidance on this!

My husband and I got married just shy of a year ago (mid Covid) we had a small ceremony with just the bridal party and immediate family. The following weekend we had a reception so that our more extended family could still come celebrate with us. With that being said, we still didn’t get to have a party/ celebration the way we imagined since we had to scrap our initial venue 3 months prior to the big day. We really just want to have a big party like we had wanted but hadn’t found a good way to go about it! Any help on this is appreciated.
And please do not be rude saying this is stupid if it’s not a 10,20,25, etc year anniversary. We want to celebrate the way we wanted to initially without having to push our wedding back.

I'm a bit confused....so you want a party in Sept. 2022 to celebrate your 2 year anniversary? I'm sure friends/family who are local might be onboard, not sure about anyone traveling.

Could you simply just have a party? Does it need to be wedding related?

There are no hard and fast rules. If you and your hubby both want to throw a party, do it. Maybe just not a wedding party bc you pretty much had that…unless you want to do something like renew/update your vows.

You could really do it however you want! If you still want to big traditional reception, go for it! As long as money is not an issue I don't see a problem with this. It might be slightly more casual but everyone can still get dressed up to celebrate you guys! I think many people are doing post wedding celebrations because of COVID and I don't think it matters whether you do it within 1 year, 2 years, or 10 years. Everyone deserves a celebration! I'd probably mention that gifts aren't expected.

So, I agree that you can throw a party whenever you want. Plan it however you like and invite whomever you want. Parties are great! But I just want to caution you from placing too much stock in this feeling like "the wedding reception we never got to have!" because that is probably an unrealistic expectation. Like someone said above, local guests will probably come but not many would travel for an anniversary party, no matter how much they care about you.
So, plan your party the way you want it but make sure you keep your expectations of the actual outcome (other than fun party, yay!) low.
