How do we announce our covid elopement?

Abby, on November 13, 2020 at 9:11 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
We had originally planned to get married on 10/10/2020, and sent out STDs early in 2020, before covid. When covid hit, we postponed to 10/9/2021. A few weeks before our original date, we decided to have a tiny ceremony (with just my husband's parents and streamed for my dad who is 1400 miles away) on our original date.



We updated Facebook, and sent an email announcement to some family, but I'm thinking we should maybe send an official announcement and share that we still plan to have the celebration next year. Do you think this is a good idea? If so, how would you word it?
Our guest list is fairly small, and I have someone who could do the graphic design for me, so the cost isn't a big deal. I was thinking of including a picture from our ceremony in the announcement.
Thoughts?

    Send wedding announcement/new save the dates. “___ and ___ were married in a private ceremony on ___. Please save the date for a celebration of marriage on ___.”

    We were the same boat. Originally 7/11/20, postponed to 11/28/20. Restrictions led us to get married on 9/24 and postpone the reception to 11/27/21. We did pretty much exactly as Caytlyn said (our only minor change was that we called it a reception; we will not be doing another ceremony next year). We also included a picture of us from our wedding day.

    We will marry in April (eloping), God willing, and we will send a tri-fold wedding announcement afterwards with 3 photos inviting everyone to our wedding reception. Date to be determined right now due to the pandemic. Looking at November 2021, but it may be booked.

    I agree with this. Elopement announcement cards are very common. Mail them out immediately after the wedding.

    Well, it's been a month since the wedding, so immediately after is not going to happen, but I can do it asap.
