Elopement Announcement Wording

Tori, on April 24, 2020 at 12:48 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 4

For all the brides that decided to elope/still hold a small, private ceremony on their original wedding date, how did you announce your elopement/wedding? Any wording or announcement ideas? I know regardless of what is said, people will still have nasty comments or judgment that we still went through with even a private ceremony during the pandemic, so just looking for any creative ideas or wording to announce to family and friends.

Thank you, Tori

    We’re still getting married tomorrow, but postponed our big wedding to September. We just included it in the postponement email we sent out. It just said something like “because of the coronavirus we are postponing the wedding for the safety of our guests but we still plan on getting married on April 25th. We can’t wait to celebrate with everyone on September 13th” All of my guests are understanding and have only said nice things.

    I'm trying to figure out the same thing now so I don't have a good answer for you though I love Hillary's advice. I think we'll end up telling a few close friends and relatives in advance so they can call in for the wedding but most will find out afterwards when we post on our website. Some people might feel a bit weird about it but I hope most will be understanding. We're still planning on having a big ceremony and party with everyone on the new date to celebrate together. I'm so happy you two are able to do what feels right for you in this crazy time!
