I would do something similar to what my parents did. For their 30the, they took H, sis and me to Kauai and renewed their vows on the beach with just us a photographer and the officiant. They had honeymooned in Kauai, so it was really special.
I don't think we will but my husband really, really wanted to get married on the beach. (We lived in Florida at the time and my parents pushed for ((and paid for, so it was harder to argue)) a formal wedding in St. Louis.) He still talks about this seven years later, so I know he'd go for a small vow renewal on a beach somewhere in a heartbeat.
ETA: And by small, I mean the two of us and a random officiant.
H and I made a time capsule after our wedding. We each wrote a note to each other about how we felt on that day, included a few funny photo booth pics, a bottle of wine for me and whiskey for him. We promised to open it if there ever came a time where we are questioning our marriage/love/etc, or (hopefully) on our ten year anniversary. At that time, we will drink, laugh, read, and replace the items with new ones.
Our 10 year is this year and I do want to do something special for my husband. I was thinking of having a big dinner with our bridal party and parents/close relatives OR planning a mini-vacation (like 2 nights) for just the two of us, and surprising him with it. I'm leaning toward the mini-vacation.
Vow renewal is not really our thing but I wouldn't mind going for friends and family members doing it.
I keep telling H that I want to redo our wedding because I weigh significantly less now then I did on our wedding and want skinny pictures. I joke about that of course, if we were to renew it would be private, just us next to the ocean or something.

Me too. I would look so much hotter in a wedding dress now.
Nah. I'd rather just do a big anniversary party. I don't mind attention in general but my wedding ceremony was HELL for me. I did NOT want to get up there in front of all of those people. I had so much anxiety about it for months. I'm not doing that again, lol.
