What should i do with these invitations?!

Whitney, on March 17, 2020 at 10:27 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3


I was supposed to have my wedding in Mexico on May 31. We decided this morning to postpone based on the latest 8 week no gathering CDC announcement and contract penalties that would go into effect next week. I sent out save the dates in August 2019 to make sure everyone had time to plan. Long story short, Corona virus has been giving me a headache for awhile now and I was unable to get my wedding 'official' invitations in January because they were being made in China. I was initially told it would be a short delay and would have them in early February. When they didn't come, I sent an email letting people we weren't able to get paper invites, followed by an a nice evite to the guests. I also had my planner call all of my guests to let them know what was going on.

My parents are older and more traditional and they insisted I order paper invitations that I didn't want anyway, despite not being able to get them by the deposit/original RSVP deadline. On Thursday I was fully intending on having my wedding and my invites arrived Friday. We assembled them Saturday, only thing missing was postage.What do I do with these invitations? Everything I've read thus far tells you what to do if you've already sent them or if you haven't ordered them yet. Should I send them with a note (saying what?). Does this mean I need to order a whole new set of invites for when we reschedule!?

    Would it be rescheduled at the same venue? If so I would just change the dates and time later. Might look not as nice but that would be a more economical choice

    Unfortunately my family would never let me hear the end of it if I pasted different dates on top of my existing invitations. 🙄

    You call everyone now to cancel. And yes, you get new invitations. Not only are dates and times going to change, but other things may change too. There are still local printers in most areas that have stock and print locally. We loved picking our paper in person, having real samples to look at, and getting nicely engraved and embossed classy invitations, that we picked up locally two days later. Easier, no more expensive, and nicer than discount places online.
