yeah thats what my friends are all saying too!!!

Hmmmmmmm........that's a good question!

Well, I think it would be determined by a number of things. First off, how close are you to these people? Is it family? Is it close family? Where is the party being held? Big and fancy or small and intimate?

Or maybe you can give a gift instead of money. I mean I think most people give money for a wedding b/c it's a new couple starting off, so it's something to help them out. But these are people who are already 'established.' Maybe a pretty Lenox or Armani piece may be more appropriate.

But then again, I've never been to a renewal ceremony so I don't have any experience. Just my thoughts! Hope that helps sweetie! Good Luck!

I totally agree with this. I'm not sure if money would be appropriate for a couple who is already established.

ya know Val.. I didn't even think about a gift, only money. That may be a good idea! I know they are doing okay too! they have a huge beautiful home (in fact they are having this renewal party in their beautiful back yard'... so they aren't just starting out. I guess a gift may be more appropriate! Thanks hun.. I will speak to Vinny about that.

Are they having a big big party or something small?

---

not too big.. I would think like 100 people maybe more.. not too sure though

Thanks girls!!

Okay..I would say a nice piece for their home...nice gift...

Or better yet...A gift certificate somwhere...some people think its impersonal...but they are always nice...I think appropriate for vow renewal as well

waitttttt hold on , come to think of it, my brother & my sister in law are renewing their vows,, forgot that ,, bad toni,,,

anyways, i just called my mom & asked her she said she is not giving them money , theirs is only 10 years , which is a diamond, they aint gettin that either , but you could check how manys years & go from their,, Or a gc to their fav restaurant,,

HTH

k here ya go ,

5 year = wood
10 years = diamonds
15 = crystal


you said they are 35 years old, doubt i need to go higher

Chris,, If they have a house & are set that way , I mean I have a house, & i always ask for home depot gift cards,, Sounds funny , but let me tell u , always always comes in handy when u have a house, yard, garage, etc,, & its not a yucky gift trust me,,

Im the same age as them too,, I know what im talking about,,
