Cutting guest list

Depends on when they were sent out I think. If it was before covid, I don’t think you need to send anything. Just the invite to the 90 people. If it was after, then maybe tell a few people to help spread the word to different groups family that because of covid things have changed. But honestly, best place would be on a wedding website home page. A quick blurb about how covid wrecked your plans, and have had to make adjustments to follow policies.


Any plans on live streaming? You could send something to the ones not invited and “invitation” of sorts for a live stream event.

I agree with the pp about the steaming. If you do streaming I’d send letters saying something along the lines of
“ unfortunately due to the Covid 19 pandemic we unfortunately had to minimize our guest list as it is the safest option for everyone involved. We love you all so much and would still like for you to celebrate with us via streaming at (insert streaming site here). We hope you all are staying safe and healthy, much love (insert Mr and Mrs names)

If you sent out Save the Dates, you shouldn't just blow those guests off. Some of them may be keeping their calendar clear, making travel plans, and waiting on the invite. Let them know ASAP

I’m not totally against a live stream! I kind of like the idea. We sent our save the dates WAYYY before COVID. If we don’t do a live stream, how would y’all suggest telling them? Mailing them something?

Following this thread as I am contemplating on doing true exact same thing with my guest list.

I wouldn’t just blow them off though as pp mentioned you should let them know due to covid you had to cut the guest list and I think they’d understand but not telling them at all would be wrong

I would send them an invite to the virtual ceremony, if that is something you want to do. But I wouldn't just leave them hanging. Keep them informed, they will understand.

We did the same. Sent Save the Dates to all 150 in January for our September wedding. If we have to cut the list the guest not on the new list will get a virtual ceremony invite by mail
