Etiquette for Convalidation Ceremony and Party to Follow
|
|
|
Hello. I would just like to know what would be appropriate to wear, who/how many to invite, for a ceremony which would be a Convalidation, and then a reception, which would probably not be on the same day. My marriage ceremony to my spouse was a complete, humiliating and awful disaster (I don't want to go there) and I've been waiting nearly 30 years to get married by a priest. We were married by a J.P. in a living room ceremony (ugh!), with a small reception which was basically a dinner. The story is a long one. It was horrific, and it's like I'm still the little girl inside waiting to have the romantic wedding I never had. Thank you very much.

Dear Forget-me-not,
The etiquette for your Convalidation would be the same as it is for all vow renewals. It isn't a wedding. So, you would be expected to wear a nice dress that suits the formality of your event. It should be small with mostly family.
Please read more about vow renewal etiquette. Of course, we have very, very many posts concerning this issue as well.
Best wishes,
