Postponed wedding etiquette

I've been helping my cousin plan her wedding and it was supposed to be today March 21. We had to postpone because of COVID and her new date is in September. We already reached out to the all the guests who were supposed to be there and she posted on social media that it was postponed. My question is, do we send formal invitations out to the entire original guest list with the new date or just send a "Change of date" to the ones who had responded that they were coming?

I think a change the date postcard is thorough enough or a digital invite

I would send new formal invitations out to the entire guest list. Different people may be able to come on a different date. I know if we had our wedding a couple months later we probably would’ve gotten an entirely different group of people based on who is around when

I'd send new, but I'd use an online invite ... There are great companies out there! Greenvelope is just one of them...

We were getting married on May 8th and had to change our date to July 17th. What we did was work with the company who did our invitations and had her create insert cards explaining that we were postponing our wedding and included the new date. We also directed all of our guests to our website for more information as well. We will be mailing those cards to all of our guests. Unfortunately we had to spend more money to do this but it was the most effective way for us to communicate this to our guests, especially for those who do not have access to social media. Hope this helps!

Send new invitations out to the entire guest list with a slip of paper explaining the circumstances. I feel like people are expecting things like this to happen. Maybe do an online RSVP so you don't have to buy postage again!
