I feel like every vow renewal is different, so it's difficult to measure if ours fits common etiquette. Can I ask your honest opinion?
We'll be celebrating 5 years of marriage. Our original wedding was at the courthouse with 5 family members due to time and financial constraints, since we were still students. It was a series of social media posts that announced our marriage. I essentially want the vow renewal to be a kickass party. 40-ish guest count, at a small venue, afternoon ceremony and party on all evening. No gift registry, just bring yourself.
My main concerns are that several guests need to fly to attend. I feel bad they have to do this for not even a proper wedding. We'll pay for flight & hotel but can't compensate time. Also 5 years is rather a short time to commemorate and we had zero life changing struggles. How would you react if you get this invitation?
