Change the date photoshoot

Brooke, on March 27, 2020 at 1:07 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 6
Has anyone done a change the date photo shoot? Was it fun? Did you make it funny or serious? My fiancé and I are postponing our wedding by two months and we tend to face everything with humor but we don’t want to offend anyone. We want to try and make a change the date postcard for our guests.

    I could see this being fun! People need a pick me up right now and this may be a good say to get that done!

    I would fear that doing a just-for-fun photo shoot in the middle of a pandemic would come off as a little tone deaf.

    Yes, I think it's fine to approach scheduling changes in a light-hearted manner, but do try to avoid making light of the actual pandemic that is causing so much pain, grief, and stress in people's lives. It's very likely that at least someone on your guest list has lost or will lose someone before this is over. Just like you wouldn't make fun of cancer in a save the date photo, don't make fun of this virus.

    When I say “photoshoot” we would use our own camera on a tripod. We are under a stay-at-home order for two more weeks minimum.

    Hey Brooke, have you decided how you're going to get the word out about your new date?

    We are trying to decide on a picture to put on just a postcard for the friends and family we do not call.
