Postponed Wedding Invites and Wording

Like many I had to reschedule our wedding. The date went from April to October.


We think we’re still going to get married on the original date because 1) our Saturday wedding is now a Friday and our Rabbi can’t marry us on a Friday. 2) the original date has such a significant meaning to us I can’t picture any other date. Something we need to do for us. 3) our Ketubah was Hella expensive lol.
So questions....1) How do I re-word invites? We’ll be married before our new date so it’s technically a vow renewal? How do I tell guests this?
2) Should it just be a reception?
3) Are online invites an option here?
Thanks!!! Stay strong and Well

    We also had to postpone our April wedding. And we also hope to still get married on our original date, even if it’s just with our immediate family. In September when we have our wedding, we’re still doing a ceremony. One, we paid for ceremony decor and we’re not going to waste that. And two, this virus is a special situation so if we want to recreate our ceremony for our 300+ guests, we’re going to do it.

    We are May 23 in a state park in New York and the venue was supposed to open April 9th, but is now not even opening until May 1. All our vendors are still willing to work with us if we still have it. We are looking into a tiny wedding with 27 people and then receptions with family around the country over the summer. If we go that route, we will be hiring a videographer to take high quality videos so we can share those with family who cannot be there.

    Part of the reason for us doing it this way is that my family is less likely to travel for just a reception without a "real" ceremony. My FH and I don't want to "redo" the ceremony, so our plan is for me to wear my wedding dress and him to wear his suit at our receptions and play the ceremony video for our guests to see.

    I completely get what you're going through though. This is so insane for all of us.

    Hi Leah! Online invitations are totally an option here! Everyone understands that this is a crazy time and an unpredictable circumstance.

    For wording I'd go with language asking guests to join you for a celebration of marriage, that will indicate you've been legally married but ready to celebrate with everyone!

    FYI - We've started gathering some initial tips and resources in our COVID-19 Wedding Support Central, and there are several brides in similar situations you can connect with in this discussion:
