5th Wedding Anniversary Party

So here's the thing. DH and I will be married 5 years this year and we did it overseas with only a few friends in attendance (most were already over there). I always said that we would have a party with friends and family when we got back. Fast forward 5 years and we still haven't done anything. I would really love to have a party just to get people together and have a good time and have our wedding/travel photos on a slideshow.

Secretly I would also love to wear my dress again and I am thinking I want photos with both sides of our family in all our attire. Too much?

I was thinking an evening get together that won't cost an arm and a leg in a relaxed atmosphere.

I'm putting it out there as I am in two minds so would like your opinions please.

I think it sounds awesome and like lots of fun~ do it be extravagant you only live once bet that beautiful dress cost you a bit of money so wear it again!

If I was your friend/family I would be very excited for a party like this, you could even do a little renewing of your vows if you wanted

Oh Jas, I was very happy to read your response and if you are in town, come along! hahaha

I really want to do it and might flag it with a couple of my sisters to see what they think. One of them got married last month which kind of sparked the idea again as we all had such a good time and I realised how much they kind of missed not seeing DH and I on our happy day.

DH doesn't want to renew our vows - ever - so that's not going to happen unfortunately as I would have loved my parents to walk me down the "aisle" so to speak but I could incorporate that somehow into our little party.

My dress was only $800 but I would love to give it another spin instead of being in a box. DH and I were looking at wedding photo's last night and I would do a few things differently hair wise etc and I am 5 years older now so a few more wrinkles to hide :lol:

Sounds like a great idea!! Have fun

I say GO FOR IT!!!

i think its a great idea :) and the slideshow idea is awesome, it will really help set the mood for the night. it sounds like its going to be awesome

cant wait to hear more about it lol i love this sort of stuff

Thanks girls. I have to tell you that I'm a little bit excited and let my imagination run wild today. I have started writing my speech :redface:
