Do you send change the dates to guests who rsvp no

Maria, on May 2, 2020 at 6:37 AM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10

I’ve recently postponed my wedding from June to the end of August. ( fingers crossed things will be better by then ) My invitations already went out, and I have already received many RSVPs. I’m mailing out a change the date postcards this week, along with calling everyone as a curtesy. However one rsvp I received the guest responded no and wrote “too risky due to Covid “ ( no sorry, or little heart on the card it was very blunt , I would of rather them just check off the no ) do I send them the change the date? On one hand I want them to know of course I wouldn’t have my wedding if it wasn’t safe that why we decided to postpone but also I don’t want them to receive it and say I already said no.

What are you thoughts ?

    I would still send them...But be prepared for the same type of response back. Some people are very health conscious right now and will not feel comfortable doing anything for a long time. I think that’s something we just have to be okay with at our weddings.

    You could send them however I agree with PP, to prepare yourself for that type of response.

    I do agree, it was pretty “blunt” of this guest to state their reason for not coming without adding their regrets.
    But like PP, I would expect more similar replies when the CTDs are sent. I hope it all works out, I’m sure it will! ❤️

    Even without Covid, we still sent invites to a few couples we knew wouldn't be able to make our original date because of conflicts (another wedding, bar mitzah, travel restrictions, and a pregnancy/baby). Now that we are going to have to reschedule, likely by a full year or more, it's possible they will have availability. If you still want them there, I would send change the dates to all of your original guests.

    We sent a simple change the date card and are having people RSVP again for the new date via our wedding website. We had just spent a *fortune* on our original invitations and RSVP cards that we didn’t want to pay for that again. It has worked out great so far!

    Definitely still send it. They may feel better about the situation in August and could be super offended if they’re not included!

    I would send it because a date change means they might make it

    Just to take the high road, I would send it. I wouldn't be happy about it though lol. I can be kinda petty about those things.

    I wouldn't. Covid and/or the fear of it isn't going away by that time. You will likely already get the same response and a few additional no thank's you. That's one less rejection you have to receive. I'm currently living this heartbreaking nightmare.
