Facebook Group for changes due to Covid19?

Emily, on May 19, 2020 at 7:37 AM Posted in Community Conversations 0 5
Hey all,


My sister suggested that I make a private FB group with everyone invited to the wedding to announce our change in dates and send the link to RSVP when the time comes. I’ve seen people make a public post to announce their change of date but I’m friends with a lot of people and family I didn’t invite so I think it would be rude.

Before COVID-19, I already sent the STDs and I bought my invitations with the old date. I jumped the gun on that one. I didn’t see this happening though. Buying change the dates or new invitation isn’t really in our budget.

Is it tacky to give the link to our wedding website to RVSP when the time comes and announce the change in date?

    I don't think that social media is ever the place to make wedding announcements. I would send out invitations as usual, unless you know that you'll be postponing before it's time to send them, and then reach out to everyone over the phone if you need to push your date back. Do you have an idea of when you plan to make your final decision?

    We’ve already decided to push the date back.

    Yeah, I would find that super odd then. So you would just purposely send out invitations with the incorrect date? If printing new invitations is out of your budget, I would DIY some business card sized inserts with the new date and include them with the original invite.

    I think given the super weird circumstances, noone will care too much how you handle changing your date. I agree with Caytlyn that one route might be to send your original invites with a small cheap insert (you can get 100 business card size inserts on Zazzle for like $20). But if Facebook is a really common way to communicate for your family/friends, I think using a private group would be fine too. Another option could be to use entirely digital invitations, which are available through paperless post and other websites, to create digital change the dates for much cheaper than mailing them out.

    I don’t think it’s tacky. It’s becoming more common and much more convenient. My fiancé’s groomsman is getting married and they have been handling it this way. Just be sure to reach out to those that do not have Facebook.
