Vow Renewals
by: Dandelion

According to Miss Manners, vows may be renewed not sooner than 25 years after the marriage commenced. 5 years smacks of "We were underwhelmed last time and want to have a bigger party."

Incidentally, invites to vow renewals are properly only drawn from the original wedding's guest list.

In any case, presents are not required--they are given according to the wishes of the invited guests, not the demands of the bridal couple. If you attend, wishes for their continuing happiness are all that is required.

Asking?
by: Anonymous

They are asking for presents? As in: "We're reinstating our vows and want you to give us presents because of it"? You are not obligated to use your money on anyone else. Just because they are having a ceremony/party or something does not mean that they can require their family and friends to give them things. Personally, I hope that as the parents of the groom you wished them well at the time of their marriage, commend them for publicly restating their vows, and wish them a long and happy marriage.
