How to tell guests we are postponing wedding?

Sorry you're going through this, but everything will work out how it was meant to be. Found this online. You can send little postcards like this :

Mr. and Mrs. X announce that the marriage of their daughter X to x has been postponed from Saturday, the eighth of August until further notice.

Or if you sent out the invite from you I guess you could write: Miss Leesha X and Mr. FH announce that their wedding has been postponed from Saturday, the eighth of August until further notice.

You will get questions. You can just say "It's a personal matter, but thank you for your support"

I am so glad you all are taking time to work through this

I've been thinking of you! Glad your FH is getting help. You'll make it through this!

Glad to hear that he is in treatment, I hope it helps him and things do get stronger for the two of you. I'd probably send a note out to everyone saying you mutually decided to postpone. I like JP's wording of "unforseen circumstances."

Happy to hear that your FH is in treatment and that you guys are on the road to a better place. I'm sorry to hear about the postponement, but I think that this is the best thing for both of you guys. Your family and friends will totally understand.

In terms of the how, I think Elizabeth's suggestion of telephone calls to close people (followed by a note or something) would be best especially given the timing and semi-DW-ness of your wedding.

Good luck with everything! I'm rooting for you guys and sending you positive thoughts!

I love him, and want to be with him.. I almost feel better postponing the wedding... I realized that I didnt want to go into a marriage with all of these hurt feelings. I phoned my photographer, and she has been super supportive as well. Told me she will do our photos on whatever date we want when we are ready, and that she is offering free photo shoot for my FH and I. She said it could possibly help, bring back good feelings or something.. I thought that was nice of her. The others I am not getting money back... Like the ferry... nearly $8,000.00..... like gross.. makes me so sick thinking of the price of things.

I cant explain the feelings I am feeling. Its really not a good feeling, especially when my regular customers at work can see that I am not OK.

FIL's are being terrible towards me.

Everything just sucks right now...

Im deciding that I am taking a trip some where tropical for the time i took off work for the wedding. I dont want to be sitting around here, having people ask me questions... agh...

Again, thanks so much for letting me vent to you ladies

I just feel so bad, so many guests have bought tickets ... now its like it was all just a waste

Sending you positivity and good vibes.

Leesha! I know its a hard decision, but definitely the best. Is there any way that you can get a credit for anything you can't get money back for, so you can put it toward the wedding at a later date?

If not, remember that you will always get money back. Time heals all wounds. Best of luck, and we are thinking of you! (also if you want to come to Canada, you can crash in my spare room! I live outside of Whistler and it is beautiful (and hot!) this time of year!)

@danielleesme, thanks for your positive words! I am also in Canada

Happy you're back! I had thought about you this morning. I think you're making a great decision

Its hard right now but I think this is the best path. Your guest will understand. I'm glad to hear from you and that you are okay

How to tell guests the wedding has been postponed? When my friend and her FH cancelled their wedding i was a bm in she called and told me. I then offered to help her call her guests. She was really appreciative, So on a sunday I invited her mother & MOH over to my place, we got the list and had a big pot of coffee and called the guests. We did not invite the bride, this was a difficult time for her. Later that night her mom reported back to her that everyone sends best wishes.

I"d call them individually. Anyone who is close to you is going to be happy that you're taking steps to insure your future and his health, and in the long run, that makes a lot of sense.

Big hugs to you!

I'm really glad FH is seeking help and I'm sorry his family is treating you so poorly. I agree with phone calls and definitely ask family/friends to help you make those calls if you need to.

Winnipeg is anything but tropical, but if you want to visit a very flat city in the middle of the country, I'd be happy to show you around we can take you to see the country side, it's actually quite gorgeous these days. Though if I were you I'd rather go to Whistler with Danielleesme, lol

Tell people on Facebook? not the favorite choice of emily post I imagine, but I bet it will get the word out.

@VC - you mean Winter-peg?

So glad to see things are looking up between you and FH.

I wish you all the best in the future and look forward to seeing more threads and posts from you on WW. Sending hugs and good vibes!
