We have postponed our June wedding until next year. We have notified our bridal party and most of our family members as well as posted the cancellation on our wedding site but I’m sure there are some guests who don’t utilize Facebook (we made our wedding site on there). So, do I need to send out a letter to guests explaining that our wedding is cancelled and will send out new invites at a later date? For those that had to cancel/postpone your wedding- what did you do?? Tia!

I would check with whoever printed your invitations in the first place. A lot of the larger companies are offering to print out cancellation notifications for free!

Hi Emily,
If you've postponed to a specific 2021 date, you may want to consider sending change-the-dates! These are cousins to save-the-dates. On the whole, it seems like couples are choosing to handle various COVID-19 related changes (e.g., postponement or going virtual) in several different ways. Here are some existing discussions with other couples with various ideas/suggestions:
- Postponed Wedding Invites?
- Change of date cards
- Coronavirus Postpone Announcement
