How to tell guests we are postponing wedding?

I am so glad that he is in treatment, and that he went quickly after the relapse. As far as what to tell guests, close friends and family probably already know the why. For others I would just say something like "due to unforeseen circumstances we need to postpone".

I think you're making a great decision. Seek help first, wedding will come.

This can only make y'all stronger.

Maybe lean on your closest friends/family to help you spread the word. Is it possible they can get in touch with each guest personally?

I'm so sorry to hear this! Just focus on yourself right now.

Leesha, welcome back! So glad to hear he apologized and acknowledged hat it wasn't him but the drugs talking. Hope everything is getting better for both of you.

I'm happy he's come around. It sounded like a not fun time for both of you

I would have your parents spread the word to family and wedding party to friends. Or a massive email. It's just hard to emotionally hold onto right now

Glad you two are working together to improve yourselves and your relationship <3

I'm so glad your FH is in treatment! Ninjaaa said it well just let your friends and family know that somethings have come up and you'll be postponing and you greatly appreciate their love and support.

While it must be hard to decide to do, it definitely sounds like the right decision. Keep your chin up. He is getting healthy and in the long run you will be stronger as a couple after this.

If you have a wedding website, post an announcement there too. Just give your family and BP the guest list (and phone numbers/email addresses if there's people they don't know) so they can do it for you. You guys just focus on his recovery, and on taking care of you as well.

Sending positive thoughts and hugs your way Leesha. I can only imagine how much it hurts to be so close and have to put it on hold, but you're doing what's right for YOU as well as what's right for your FH. There are reason certain phrases become cliches, but it's true... time truly heals all wounds. In 5 or 10 years down the road, you'll look back and be so proud of how strong you are today to do what's right for you and him even though it hurts so much right now. Please let us know if there's anything we can do for you! Really... care package, need a place to stay (I bet you could travel the US, UK, and Canada couchsurfing with WW ladies!), anything. WW ladies are here to support you!

I'm so glad that he went for treatment. And like Jen said, this will only make your relationship stronger.

Like others have said, you really don't need to tell people what happened. It isn't any of their business. I would just leave it vague. Keep it light and sign it from the both of you so people know you are still together.

Good luck!

Hi Leesha! So glad to hear from you. I second PPs; lean on your family and friends if possible to spread the word. You can be totally vague - "Due to unforeseen circumstances, the wedding will be postponed till further notice." I'm glad your FH is treatment. Sending good thoughts your way!

I am so glad that he is getting the help he needs.

As far as letting your guests know, I would maybe say something along these lines:

"Due to unforeseen circumstances, our wedding has been postponed until further notice. Your love and support means the world to us. We can't wait to share our day with you all, but until then we will be working together to get through these unexpected troubles. Thank you."

So happy you came back to update us! That is really great that he is getting treatment. You are definitely making the right decision by postponing. I agree with the people above. keep it brief and vague. praying for you girl!

Leesha, I am happy that you and FH are working on your relationship and he is in treatment. I am sad that all of this happened and you are dealing with so much right now. Timing seems not on your side, but you will both come out stronger as individuals and as a couple. I really like what Chelsea said. Is it possible for your parents to personally contact people? While some close family and friends may know the reason, those who do not will have questions. Having someone close to you help you by contacting some of them may decrease the number of times you need to respond to these questions. Of course your response can be as vague as you want it to be.

It is great news to hear that he is in treatment. I like what @JP said and if you have emails for people, I would let them know that way, otherwise maybe your families could call other people for you.

I wish you and your FH all the best and hope that treatment goes well.

I'll be hoping the best for you both!!

Oh advice on how to tell guests you're postponing. I would call your guests individually. I know that will be extremely difficult so maybe as your mom and his family (if those wounds they inflicted have started to heal at all) to help you reach out. The reason I would call first and send a note is that people might have begun booking flights, hotels, etc, and a note is going to take some time to reach them. If you don't have a phone number for a guest, I would also send out a note as well with a similar formality level to your invitations (see the brides.com blog post). You're not required to tell them anything if you don't want to, but something like "extenuating circumstances" or "we made a mutual decision to postpone the wedding for private reasons".

Oh, I am so happy he is getting treatment! I'm sure you two will come out even stronger. I think Chelsea's sounds great as well.

Leesha! So good to hear from you; been hoping you're ok. Proud of you for making these tough decisions. Sending love your way, hon. ((Hugs))
