Right wording? For postponing ceremony/reception

Emy, on June 18, 2020 at 9:29 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 4
Hi everyone! Need some help with the wording I should use to let guest out of state that we won’t be having the ceremony/ reception. We are going to still get married this year just with immediate family ( his parents and mine ). We are planning our 1 year celebration next year at our original venue.


Any advice of the wording I should use ?
Thanks

    It could be a change of date card since you're still having one it's just another date instead right?

    We sent change the date magnets that have a photo of us looking at each other with weird faces, "let's try this again," and the new reception date on them. We also sent this note:

    Hello!Based on the last piece of mail you received from us, you may have been expecting this envelope to contain a wedding invitation. In fact, that’s what we were planning to send around this time. Unfortunately, things have not exactly gone as planned over the last few months. We are still planning to get married this year, but we don’t want you or anyone else we care about to get sick.Given the risks involved in having large groups of people together this summer, we have decided to postpone our wedding reception to 2021. We look forward to celebrating with you next year when it’s safer to gather in person. Love,A+J
    You could definitely be more serious about it, but we wanted to keep things light.

    We are getting married this year 09/06/2020 with just immediate family. Next year 09/05/2021 we will be just celebrating our 1 year anniversary with the people that couldn’t celebrate with us this year due to the virus.

    Hi Emy! I've seen a lot of cute announcement cards that say "Change of Plans" instead of "Change the Date" - that could be perfect for you!

    You could say something along the lines of "due to the current pandemic, [name] and [name] will be getting married in a private ceremony with their immediate families." If you're going to stream the wedding for anyone or have your anniversary celebration date locked in you can share that information with them as well! I'd also make sure to include a short message apologizing for any inconvenience and saying that you're excited to celebrate with them in the future. 💌
