Changing ceremony time

I would personally send printed cards that say the time has been changed and would in addition update the website if you have one. I'd also contact people individually by text, phone, or email to let them know, as a backup. If you split up the list, it shouldn't be too difficult.

Evening, weddings are my favorites! I feel like there is a more celebratory/party vibe with evening weddings. And switching the time will definitely allow you to get those coveted golden hour photos. You said invitations have been sent out already, but did you mean save the date cards? It doesn’t look like your wedding is until July, so really invitations shouldn’t be going out until mid to end May. If you mean STD cards went out, then I think you would be safe with just putting the new time on the invitations. However, if you really did send invitations this early, then you would need to send out formal change of time cards to everyone that was invited, notifying them the time of your ceremony has changed. I would also put something on the front page of your wedding website that states the time change as well. And if you are having guests RSVP via your website, I would make sure the date and time are included there also.

I think it's a great idea to change it to later. I would send a card to everyone on the guest list to advise of the time change.

I love an evening wedding too!! It just feels more ~special~ for a reason that I can’t quite put my finger on?? I think you made a great choice!

My wedding starts at 4pm and I told the guests to be there at 3pm. I wouldn’t change the time. Going to confuse everyone since you already sent the invitations out
