a thoughtful gesture

When we posted, my sister sent us a cute gift box that had 2 champagne glasses and alcohol infused gummy bears. She couldn’t send champagne since I’m in MI so we just got some and toasted to our new date. It was really thoughtful but honestly the gift didn’t matter - just knowing someone was thinking about us and recognizing that this was hard and sad meant so much to me. I’m sure whatever you do, even just a note, will be so welcomed by the couple.

Agree with Michelle, the specifics of a gift don’t matter, it is more important to know that people sympathize. One of the hard parts is feeling guilty for grieving over it, given all of the true hardship in the world. That said, the gummies were such a cute idea! We had friends send a box of their favorite cinnamon rolls
Regardless, give them a call and ask them to talk about it. It can feel very lonely when you have a 100+ person guest list and almost none of them even say anything about it!

You could send a nice card to say "Happy supposed to be wedding day", or even just call them to say you're thinking of them!

My SIL had to postpone, so we sent them an e-gift card for their favorite restaurant so they could have a nice dinner on us (we live several states away so treating them to dinner wasn't an option).

Such a sweet question and idea! I agree with everything the prior posters have said. Two of our friends even did a cute little video where they dressed up in their outfits and said “we wish we could be dancing and celebrating tonight!” Or something like that. To be honest, we must have re-watched that video like 10 times. Any card, gesture, text, phone call, chocolates, whatever - it will be so appreciated!

That’s a cute idea! Maybe send them like a cute date night thing to do

I agree woth the previous poster about sending them a card.

I sent flowers on the original date to a friend who had to postpone. I think a card or just any acknowledgement of the date would be appreciated!

I think it is so sweet that you want to acknowledge this day. Any gesture - be it a text, card, flowers, or small gift - would be appreciated by the couple for sure!

My wedding was postponed due to COVID about a month before it was due, and then we found out our roommate had COVID, so it was even more stressful 😂 my MOH (older sister), my nephew and BIL drove out to our house with a poster and balloons, and went to Dunkin’ Donuts to get us coffee. They set it up outside our door before calling us that they were outside, since we wanted to keep the 6 feet distance!! My nephew was crying because he wanted to hug me, but it was so thoughtful to remember what would have been our wedding date. My cousins also did the same thing the day of, making us a cake and a care package with alcohol and goodies. It didn’t matter that they even gave us gifts, it was remembering that today would have been our special day, and acknowledging that when we were so down in the dumps.

I think a gift card to a nice restaurant and a nice hand written note would be great.
