Vow renewal RSVP

Guests reply, and those who were at the original wedding share a memory of it.

What's inside

Guests who come give the size of their group. Guests who were at the first wedding are asked what they remember of it, and everyone can leave a wish for the years ahead.

Planning a vow renewal

Vow renewals are usually smaller and more relaxed than the wedding: close family, old friends, often the people who were there the first time. Send the link four to six weeks before, or eight if guests travel.

The memory question is the heart of this form. Guests who were at the first wedding remember things the couple never saw: the best man's lost speech, the rain, the aunt who danced all night.

Read a few memories aloud during the ceremony or at dinner, then print them all with the wishes for the anniversary album. Children and grandchildren who weren't born yet love hearing them.

Change the year in the question to the year of your wedding, and the twenty-five in the wishes to your own number. For a first wedding, start from the wedding RSVP.

Vow renewal RSVP questions

Can I use it for an anniversary party without vows?

Yes. Change the title and the intro. The memory and wish questions suit a 25th or 50th anniversary party just as well. Keep the question about the first wedding, since at a 50th some guests may have been there half a century ago. Change the end screen text too, so it no longer mentions vows on the beach.

Do guests who can't come still share memories?

Yes. The question about the first wedding shows to everyone, so a friend who can't travel can still send what they remember. Consider sending the link to an old bridesmaid or groomsman abroad even if they can't attend, since their stories are often the most surprising. Guests who decline see their own end screen, which thanks them for their wishes.

Who sees the memories before the day?

Only whoever saved the form. If one of your children is organizing it as a surprise, the couple sees nothing until it's read out. Save the form under the organizer's own account, not a shared family email the couple can open. Ask guests in the intro to keep the surprise, so nobody spoils it at a family dinner.
