Postponing but eloping. Should we announce elopement?

Angela, on March 21, 2020 at 2:04 AM Posted in Community Conversations 1 6
We we're supposed to get married March 27th, we had already gotten our marriage license (only have 30 days to use it) so we've decided we're doing an elopement style ceremony tomorrow with just us the officiant and my father so we don't lose license. We will be having another ceremony and a reception when all of the covid19 stuff is over, and we're saving our personal vows until then. Should we announce that we eloped, wait until we send new invitations, or not say anything.

    I believe the marriage license lasts 90 days. At this point not sure what the courts will do once they open back up

    Just make sure your county clerk will be in the office. You only have 5 days to file that license once you’ve been married.

    I was thinking about sending something to our original guest list. I would love for them to know that we didn't let this destroy our happiness.

    On Zazzle or Shutterfly they have cute elopement announcements that can include a note about a celebration in the future.
    We have our license so we're getting married this week. I would hope of you mailed it they'd honor the date it was postmarked even if they end up closing.
