Hi Everyone!
My husband and I had our wedding planned for 10/17/2020 and obviously had to cancel due to COVID. Our wedding had been planned two years out so we just pushed everything back another year (10/02/2021). However, we wanted to keep our original date and ended up having a small ceremony with our immediate family. Now, as I am trying to get back into the planning side of things for next October, I'm confused on how to word things. We are officially married, and are planning on doing a vow renewal and the whole bridal party thing this coming October.
I'm currently trying to get new "save the dates" out and I'm so confused on the wording I should do. We also had photos taken at our mini ceremony/elopement and I'm wondering if I should have one of those on the "save the date" card. My only hesitation with that is I'm worried that may change guests perception of what the event is (we still want everything similar to a wedding and don't want people to take it as a "less serious event", if that makes sense). For us, even thought we are officially married, it is this upcoming "wedding" that is the real wedding for us and we want it to still be special.
If anyone has an insight on this, please drop a comment!
Thanks!
