Smaller wedding due to covid

It would be nice to say to them there’s a livestream option

Are you having just this ceremony or are you going to have another one at a later date?

View Quoted Comment I wish I could, but we’re getting married where there is no cell service and the WiFi isn’t good at all either!

View Quoted Comment We plan on having our wedding reception and ceremony all on September 12.

View Quoted Comment I think people will understand. You could also livestream it so the people who can't come can view it. With these uncertain times, I don't think anybody will be mad. You could always give them a call and explain the situation as well. I think that would give a more personal touch and they'd appreciate that.

View Quoted Comment Thank you for the advice! Unfortunately, we don’t have cell service where we’re getting married so we can’t live stream. But phone call is a good idea thanks

We’re getting married the same date! Congrats!


I think it would be nice to reach out to those you can no longer host and let them know.

View Quoted Comment Congrats to you too!
How would you notify the people that are uninvited? A letter in the mail?

Do you have Wi-Fi at the home? Maybe you can use a laptop to livestream or connect to WiFi on a phone?

You could possibly even record the big things: ceremony, entrance, parent dances, anything traditional you’d like share, etc. And send out the video to guests who can’t be present.


We made a facebook group, added everyone we invited and let them know what we were planning. We did reach out to many of our guests by calling or messaging them prior to making the group. We will also be sharing our video on there because we won’t have the best service at our venue. We thought about a mailing DVDs to everyone that we had originally invited, it was just going to be too time consuming for us.

View Quoted Comment It depends on how many people you need to reach out to, but I would probably grab some blank cards and write a short note or call everyone if possible.
We only had to cut 4 families/individuals, and I didn’t send them save the dates because we weren’t sure back in December when ours went out. My FH reached out to his side and I reached out to mine just to let them know we wish they could be there with us but restrictions are forcing us to keep our guest list small. I’d let them know that everyone’s health and safety is a priority to you and in an effort to be responsible during these times you’re limiting the number of people so everyone can properly socially distance.
Good luck! I’m sure September 12th is going to be an amazing day!

Send them thank you cards and just let them know because of COVID you now have to have a smaller amount of people. I’m sure they will understand with everything going on in the world.

You can let them due to CVIOD there is limitations on guest invites. I feel ppl will understand this bc we all know what's happening around the world ppl will appreciate this actually
