Include your children, if you have any. Involving your children in your vow renewal ceremony brings a personal touch to the occasion. Younger children might simply stand with you during the ceremony; older children might write a small poem or speech for the occasion. Including your children brings your marriage into perspective by showcasing the family you and your spouse have built together.

Write your own vows. Instead of using traditional wedding vows, make your renewing of the vows ceremony special by writing your own sentiments. Pay special attention to the life you have built together, including the special memories you have shared. Then your ceremony becomes about commemorating the marriage you have had and happily anticipating the marriage you will continue to build throughout the rest of your lives.

Plan a party. Celebrate your vow renewal with a party that suits your style, but it doesn't have to be a formal occasion. Ask your favorite restaurant to cater, or get Aunt Rose to bake you her special red velvet cake. This day belongs to you and your spouse, so plan a party that reflects your true personality and preferences.
