Many couples choose to renew their vows for different reasons. Some never had a wedding; some didn’t have the type of wedding they wanted due to financial reasons. Other couples just want to reaffirm their love and commitment to each other. Whatever category you fall into, below are a few ideas I’ve compiled to help make your day awesome!

1. Renew your vows aboard a private yacht.

Enjoy your family and friends while cruising and dancing! Majestic Ventures located in Galveston, Texas offers complete packages starting at $4595 for 50 guests. Packages include food, cake, a personal wedding planner, DJ, minister, decorations and a one night stay at South Shore Harbor Resort. This works in lieu of an extended cruise.

2. Take advantage of your vacation.

Explore all inclusive resorts that cater to your every whim. Sandals Resorts offer ReTie the Knot packages for $300 or free if 5-9 rooms are booked. Package includes a personal pre- travel planner, ReTie planner, bouquet and boutonniere, music, cake, cold hors d’oeuvres, wine, gift for the couple, photo and complimentary dinner for the couple with white glove service and bottle of wine, decorated honeymoon room and mimosa breakfast in bed. This is perfect for a second honeymoon or family gathering.

3. Stay at home.

Do you have a large back yard? Utilize it for your renewal site. Options include a sit down family style dinner on long tables, Hawaiian theme complete with tiki torches and leis, or if you prefer a relaxed atmosphere, consider a bar-b-que. Themes are endless, find a style that suites you and your better half. This works well for family reunions.

4. Vegas Baby!!!!

No place says party like Vegas. There are tons of chapels to choose from with even more packages that can suite your tastes.

All packages include Chapel fee, free limo service to and from the chapel, 5 Rose Presentation & boutonniere, 24 poses and proofs and video of the wedding ceremony. Gown, tuxedo and costume rentals are available.  If you are not into themed ceremonies, traditional packages are also available.

5. If you are the adventurous couple, consider renewing your vows at a ski resort.
