So we've had a venue and date booked for over a year now and last week our venue called and let us know their corporate office has decided to cancel all events through the end of 2021. Not only did we have to find a new venue but we also had to choose a new date as our popular 10/10/20 date was taken up by every affordable venue in our area.

We love our new venue and it'll take a natural disaster for us to give it or our new date of 10/3/20 up lol. My question is, we already sent save the dates with the old date and city/state of wedding location (no address). I made them on Shutterfly and they're offering to do reprints for free if you had to change your date due to COVID. Should I just send an email out or take advantage of the reprints and send all new ones out with a note explaining why they're getting a new one?

I would personally take advantage of the reprints. I feel like an email would be easier to overlook. I'm pretty sure people would already understand why you were forced to change your date but just to cover your bases, I think a little note will be fine. Especially if you can't change the layout of your save the dates to add the note on there.

I’d personally take advantage of the reprint. You can include a note of the venue and date change on the card, along with resending your wedding website info. That way you can remind people where to look for updates. If you know all your guests would be more apt to check their email you could do that, especially since you won’t have to pay for postage again. I know a lot of our guests would have missed my email. I’m glad you found a new venue you love, best of luck!

I'd definitely do the free reprint! Like Courtney & Jasmine said, it will catch your guests attention more about the updates!
