How to word wedding invitations if we already got married?

So due to Covid-19 my fiancé and I postponed our June 5, 2020 wedding to next year June 4, 2021. We had decided that we would still get married on our original date. About a week before our date, LA county had announced that they would be doing marriage licenses and ceremonies via videoconference. Unfortunately, they were not available on our date so the next best date is our anniversary which is June 23 (3 more days🥰). Now laying in bed I had the sudden realization, how am I going to word our wedding invitations for our big wedding next year?! Lol anyone on the same boat? How are you going to go about it if you changed your last name?

    We're only using our first names on the invitations, but they don't have last names anyway most of the time, it's usually first and middle names.

    I would do something similar to the wordings above. You can also always put a special note on the back of the invite that's less formal. We have traditional, formal wording on the front of our invite and then a little blurb about our story on the back that's in less-formal verbiage. Maybe do formal wording on the front and then give a little bit on the back to explain what happened?
