My fiancé and I have rescheduled our wedding for a second time, the first reschedule was last year at the beginning of Covid so we sent out "change the dates" for an early summer wedding in 2021. We decided to push the wedding a second time to the fall. But this time around we reduced the guest list since our venue is indoors with no outdoor options, and we'd rather be cautious and have a smaller guest list.
That being said, what have others done in the case of uninviting individuals? The last time these individuals received anything from us it was a "Change the Date" back in April 2020 for a summer 2021 wedding that has since been moved to the fall of 2021. It's all distant friends and relatives who we haven't spoken to in a while even before Covid began, so I don't think they'll be upset about no longer being invited.
Should we mail then a formal un-invite, or send them an email? I have seen a lot of mixed advice, some say give them a call, some say a text, others say email or mail. Many of my friends were surprised I was planning on telling them at all, the guests would just know when they didn't receive an invitation that plans have changed and understand that it's due to covid changes and restrictions. And other friends of mine who have rescheduled weddings mainly texted their uninvites.
I'm no stickler for formality, but my fiancé and I just want to make sure we're polite, while also not overdoing the situation. I'm thinking the mail route, but open to other suggestions or ideas. Any advice on what you have done or seen in similar situations would be a great help!
