Covid, Postponement, & Registries

Monica, on January 8, 2021 at 10:22 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

Hello All,

We postponed our wedding for 250 guests until September 2021. We did have a small wedding at my family home for 12 people on our original wedding date of September 26, 2020. If there are still major COVID restrictions later in the year, we plan just to cancel the big event altogether. Many of our family and close friends have been asking us about our registry. We have been reluctant to share this information since we plan to have a big wedding this fall. If we cancel the big event, how do we address reaching out to family and friends with registry information? Or do we entirely let the idea of receiving any gifts go?

    People want to give you gifts as a token of their love to whether they attended or not. Since you already got married/had a wedding, go ahead and let them know where you are registered. You don't have to wait for vow renewal.

    If people ask you about your registry, let them know the information. If they don't ask, then you don't tell them, regardless as to whether your big event happens this year or not. We're in the same position as you (had to postpone our reception, but got married in September on our 3 year anniversary) and while we've completed one of our registries by taking advantage of the registry completion discount, we're leaving items on the second one for the reception possibility this November (or, at the very least, as a list of things I still want to purchase for our house).
