Changing anniversary date?

If you don't have the option to change the date with your venue and vendors, you could always get married at the courthouse beforehand if you want a different date. Just be honest with your guests that you've already gotten married and you can still have the reception for everyone. But I will say that I think you're overthinking just a tad I completely understand where you're coming from, but the date will be special to you no matter what if it's the day you marry your best friend. Best of luck!

It’s your day. Own it and make it special. Everyone celebrates V day but you have the day after!

If you got to pick, what date would you get married on? Now see if everyone you have booked is still available for that day or not!

I wouldn't stress about it too much though, it will be a special day because its the day you married your love!

Absolutely! We felt the same pressure. We actually just changed our date last month from May 9, 2020 (Mother's day weekend) to December 5, 2020 and we couldn't be happier. We seriously felt so relieved and like we just got engaged all over again with new excitement. From what you've described I really think you might feel the same way if you make the decision and go through with changing the date!

Not that anyone else on this thread is wrong, because I do agree if you keep the date it will still be special since it's the day you officially get to start forever with your love. Also keep in mind that the date really only matters so much to others for the actual wedding day, after that it will be a day that really is just special to the two of you and other people won't be involved.

If you want to change it, and only you & your FH will know if that's right for y'all, then I recommend you review contracts for your venue and all the vendors you've already booked. Make sure there's no penalty for moving your date. Once you've established that, reach out to them and see what dates they have available in the time frame you were thinking. If they all have your date available and you want to make the switch then do that! After everything is switched over and settled is when I would notify friends and family.

We had only paid the deposits on our venue and vendors, so we didn't lose much money if they had to cancel. Luckily everyone was able to transfer the date with us with no penalty so that just reinforced our decision even more as being the right one for us.

If you have any questions or need support, feel free to message me! We just went through this so I can definitely sympathize with how you're feeling!
