Hello all! In 2008, my husband and I began planning a destination wedding in Mexico, only we ended up splitting up. We then ended up back together, and I was pregnant, so we had a quick close-friends-and-family wedding. It was a beautiful wedding, but not what I hoped considering I was pregnant and couldn't even have a glass of champagne. We had our honeymoon in Cabo, which also was a babymoon. We are happily married with two kids today, and we want to make our 5th anniversary special (it's July 2015). I would really like a vow renewal ceremony in Cabo. I'm looking for ideas on what to do, where to do it, where to stay, etc. It wouldn't be many people. My mother and her partner; my sister-in-law, her husband, and their two kids; possibly and older couple; and a very big maybe for two other families. This needs to be a family friendly event as I want my children to be a part of it and it's likely their toddler cousins will also be there (they will be ages 2 and 4 at the time). I'm not looking for anything fancy because the thing that will make it most special is having our children with us. My only requirement is that I want to do a vow renewal ceremony on the beach. We would like to stay at an all-inclusive that caters to kids. And we are on a budget. I'm trying to get an early start on the planning so I can tell people how much they would likely need to save in order to go. Knowing what amount needs to be saved ahead of time might mean that more of our family/friends would like to join. But even if no one wants to go, I'd still like to go with my husband and kids. So are there any ideas on doing a simple, low-budget, vow renewal ceremony that would be family-friendly? Thanks.

My husband and I are setting plans now to re-new our vows on our 5 year anniversary (July 19th, 2015). I originally wanted a destination wedding back in the day, but we had some complications. We ended up getting married at a beautiful bed and breakfast with just a few friends and family when I was 14 weeks pregnant. Not sure where we will go for vow renewals, or even if we will have more than just a handful of friends/family attend, but I really want that beach ceremony I have always dreamed of. Even if we have no guests, it will mean so much to re-new with my husband and two babies who will be 2 and 4 (now just 6 months and 2 years). Looking for a family-friendly hotel/resort that offers beach weddings and isn't too expensive.

I'm planning to do a 5-year vow renewal too! I don't think there are any rules for vow renewals, and if there are, so what?!? Wear what will make you feel fabulous.
