my husband and I will be married for 5 years in september and we never had a wedding.
Now that we are financially sound, we are planning a full fledge wedding. I read the etiquette for vow renwal but this is not a second wedding, but our first. some traditions we will not do but some we will. What is the proper etiquette for our situation?"

Congratulations on five years married. Since you are already married, and weddings are for those not yet married (brides and grooms not husbands and wives), your ceremony would be a vow renewal and you would follow vow renewal etiquette.
Have fun planning your ceremony and party.

Very true. It may not seem as if you had a wedding, because it may not have included a typical ceremony. However, it was a wedding because you are married. There are many types of weddings. Some are just the couple and a judge. This is still a wedding because the end result is marriage.
So, the etiquette is the same. It is your choice to follow it or not. However, please note that I receive many private messages from guests to vow renewals that are treated as weddings. None have been positive.
