I don't have any real interest in renewing them, but DH is adament that we will at 10 years. I suspect it's because he wants to have a big party to go along with it.

No.... just not my thing.
My inlaws did an informal thing, just our family there and they made up their own new, silly vows. Like, "I promise not to bug you when you're watching tv." It was really cute

I am all for them. We had talked about doing one at 5 years but it's more of an excuse to do an actual church wedding now that we have a home church. We will definitely do something with family. If not a renewal an anniversary party for sure. We got married after having known each other for a few months and as a result didn't have a lot of DH's family there...his choice. Now that I know his family really well I would love to have a party to celebrate our families becoming one, even if it is 5 years later Plus, we got married on a cruise and it was so much fun, I wouldn't mind paying for our families to experience that again
On top of all this, I would go if a friend had one, even if it were every year. Free food? Music? Friends? I'm in The gift would probably be just a card anyway.

I would do one, but probably just during a trip somewhere with DH. I'm thinking a beach side renewal would be awesome, just us. But I also probably wouldn't do this until 10+ years.

No we'll just celebrate the "big" anniversaries between the two of us by getting away

I would consider it after a long period of marriage.
My parents renewed their vows in a private ceremony with just them and a priest on their 30th anniversary. Dad wanted a wedding ring (he didn't have one originally because they weren't all that fashionable for men when they were married) and so they had the ring blessed at the same time.
They'd been through a lot together in their thirty years of marriage. I think my brother had just finished cancer treatment around the same time. In that context, a vow renewal seems pretty appropriate to me.

Nope, once is enough. Five years seems to fly, I can't believe it's been 3 already. Maybe a big celebration or something for 25 or more. I can't imagine us making a big deal out of anything less.

Maybe after 25 years, in Vegas or at Niagara Falls or something. Not a production...a vow renewal elopement?
