Should i still send invitations?

Ashley, on July 24, 2020 at 2:03 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 8
Our planned cruise wedding was cancelled due to the COVID outbreak and we needed to change directions. We cannot have more than 20 people in attendance, and after parents, siblings, and wedding party (with their respective SO’s) we have hit our max.


Should I still send invites to those family members who would have otherwise been invited had we been able to host a traditional wedding? And if so, do we put a disclaimer on the “invite”?

    I wouldn’t send invites as I think that it would be confusing to those who aren’t invited. If they have already received Save the Dates, then you need to follow up with something that lets them know that due to COVID restrictions, you need to cut your guest list to immediate family and wedding party only. If you didn’t send Save the Dates, then no need to send anything. Anyone who asks could get the same response as above.

    I don't understand why you would send an invitation to anyone who isn't invited.

    To notify our family members of this big event in our lives so that even though we will not be able to celebrate together in person we can extend videos/pictures to those interested.

    You could send marriage announcements once you're married, but sending an invitation would insinuate that they're, well...invited.

    I wouldn't send invites since that could be confusing, but an announcement of your marriage would be fine to let people know! If you are planning on a later reception when COVID is over you could do a save the date for that maybe!

    If you plan on having your ceremony on Zoom or Facebook live, you can send them something informing them that while you had to cut back your guest list, you’d still like to invite them to view the ceremony and provide details how to do so.

    Honestly, I think just doing announcements after yall are married for those you had originally invited that are not able to come due to your max limit. You can always zoom, skype, Facebook live the wedding!
