Celebrating years of marriage, whether it's five or 50, is a huge accomplishment. A vow renewal is an excellent way to re-proclaim your love and commitment to your partner. 

Vow renewals do not have to be as big as weddings. They can simply be an intimate ceremony where the two of you reread your vows to each other with old and new loved ones present.

However, they can also be your opportunity to plan the ceremony you always wanted. Here are some vow renewal ideas for destinations, themes, traditions and more, no matter how big or small you want your ceremony to be.

Many couples who are planning a vow renewal have been together for a long time and have achieved much. Show this by creating a slide show of your relationship from the start to today.

Have the special day of your dreams or reenact one of the best days of your life for your vow renewal. You can also recreate your first date for a more simple and intimate ceremony.

Maybe your top priority is the destination. If so, renew your vows on a stunning mountain top, at a beach bonfire, a cascading waterfall or even on a hot air balloon ride for a dream setting that doubles as a trip.  

A prom theme is perfect for those who didn’t get a rom-com worthy prom experience or for those looking for a fun party idea. Make your relationship feel young again by asking your partner to your own vow renewal prom.

If you are celebrating a marriage that is decades long, consider theming your vow renewal after the decade you and your spouse first dated or got married in.

A great surprise to pair with reciting your new vows is to prepare a grand gesture like performing you and your partner’s favorite song, presenting a new ring or anything that is sentimental to them.

Have your loved ones give speeches about their relationships with you and your partner at your ceremony. You could also have them write letters beforehand to share at the ceremony about how they came into your lives.

Allow children to bear rings, spread flowers or stand at the altar with you to symbolize their importance to your marriage.

Perform a special act at your vow renewal ceremony as a symbol of your relationship like planting a tree, releasing lanterns or even getting a tattoo. Do this as a special private moment or with friends and family.

A sentimental way to reaffirm your commitment to one another is to reference your old vows when writing your new ones. Mention the original promises you made to each other and how you vow to continue.
