We never get married expecting the marriage not to work. But sometimes you find yourself getting remarried. So, when you do we have some "planning a second wedding" tips for you!

If you have children, tell them first–no matter what their ages. Budgeting is very important since you now most likely have mortgages and kids. It's ok to wear white or red or blue...it's up to you! The veil, on the other hand, is a first marriage thing as what it stands for is purity and being "untouched". Traditions and interests that suit you. Traditional, nontraditional, or throw a surprise wedding! Don't talk about the past or what's gone wrong, focus on the now and the future together. Involve your kids, if you have them, in your wedding: Let them stand up for you. Greeting guests, handing out programs, attend the guest book, and/or usher. Include them in your vows, make it a group exchange. Give them rings or bracelets as a symbol. Let them help you plan i.e. cake tasting! If small they can be ring bearers and flower girls. Create the kids "signature drink". Create first look moments Celebrate as if it were your first. You'll need a divorce decree or a death certificate to file for a new marriage license. You deserve and should take a honeymoon! Premarital counseling is highly recommended. The MOH still has the same responsibilities as well as the wedding party. They may be a little different depending on what the couple decides to do. A bridal shower is perfectly fine. It may be more of a non-traditional style though. You can register, for things you want and need but don't expect your guests to give gifts. Figure out the "legals", prenups, name changes, previous marriages are settled. Second marriage for the bride, she should use her legal name on the invitation instead of using a maiden name. Having your dad walk you down the aisle for the second time is completely fine as long as you are both comfortable doing so. Make this wedding different from the first. When it comes to the reception, really do it up however you want. You are probably aware but your parents aren't required to pay for anything but they may want to.
