Hello everyone , so with 5 months to the wedding my FH and I decided something crazy. We are canceling the big wedding and having a private family only and close friends wedding and we are moving it up to the beginning of September . We had already sent out save the dates so my question is how do we tell our guests and should I be really embarrassed ? We should have thought about this at the beginning but we were trying to hard to have something nice for everyone instead of do we want to do .

    Make sure to also return any gifts from guests who you are cutting immediately.

    Unless you straight up cancel your wedding or elope, not just opt for something smaller- I think it's pretty rude. You basically invited them then decided you didn't wanna stick to the commitment of what you invited them to

    I would call guests individually because I do think that is a little rude and calling individually at least makes the news more personal. You sent our your STD and then are disinviting people.

    I get the whole... you need to do what's best for you... but I feel like this is going to cause a lot of gossip and hurt feelings.

    Good luck with your decision.
