Covid-19 letter on invitations

I don’t see a problem with that!

We sent out invitations back in May for our new date in August. Then, around the end of July, we realized things weren’t getting better so we decided to do something small with our families & send out cards saying something along the lines of “ due to the pandemic we are still getting married but will have a celebration next year”. Let me know if you want me to send the exact wording. 😊

We put everything on our wedding website; what restrictions we have (mandatory masks indoors, no mingling/dancing, 50% capacity or 50 people max), what precautions we’re talking (hand sanitizer, seating by family, tables six feet apart, etc). Due to the mountain location our ceremony can’t be live-streamed, but if it could we probably would have put that in with the invite just to make sure people saw it. FH’s sister has texted asking about restrictions and precautions even though I worked so hard on the website to have every question answered.

We put all info on our website. We had already sent out invitations before COVID really became a threat, so we didn't include any info with them. You could put a line on your invitations, directing everyone to look at your website for a listing of all COVID precautions and info.

I put “full details available at (wedding website link)”
There, I had an announcement banner at the top of the home page, that directed everyone to read the “social distancing” page. I started that page with something like if you’re feeling unwell or uncomfortable attend we totally understand due to the circumstances. Then I went on to list all of the changes and measures we have taken to make it a safe event.

I added an insert that stated what precautions we have taken for their safety. It’s in our backyard and very laid back. I didn’t add anything to the website because almost no one looked at it for our original date.

A simple insert directing them to the website! On the website is the best and easiest and allows you to continually update the information!


Ours then included a 'page updated' date on the covid tab so guests could be sure it was current info! It saved a lot of questions.

We are including a details card along with more information on our website.

I actually made my invites way in advance before the virus so when I sent them out I actually placed a piece of paper in my envelope to tell people to go on my website (WeddingWire website) And did a headcount there and end up for the church I ended up emailing the guests so everyone knew the “rules” like wearing a mask, spread out people, that anyone walking down the aisle didn’t wear a mask, etc. so no one was surprised. (It was a lot of work and I’m glad the ceremony part is over. A lot of people couldn’t make it so I was incredibly stressed. )
