Postponement announcement

I would send a change of date announcement and then new invitations since the wedding is an entire year away.

Maybe not new save the dates - you can write that in the email that explains you are postponing the wedding. You can save money by just sending the invitation a little early.

Hope that helps!

I don't think its necessary to resend any save the dates or invites - your guests undoubtedly are aware of whats going on in the world and have probably already assumed you'd be postponing the wedding. That being said, if its within your budget go right ahead!

Our wedding is planned for June 13, 2020 and while we haven't had to make a firm decision quite yet on postponement, I have prepared an email/text template to send to our guests if we end up needing to. Here's what I put together:

Over the past few days, the world has turned upside down. We’ve all had to make some really hard decisions, and that includes us. That being said, we wanted to reach out to you to let you know we’ve made the very difficult decision to postpone our wedding to ________.

This was a heartbreaking decision, but not nearly as heartbreaking as the idea of putting our loved ones at risk. When it comes right down to it, a marriage is a commitment of two people, and a wedding is a party that can be rescheduled, so that is the route we have decided to take.

We hope that you understand that this is a drastic measure we never expected to have to make. You were invited to our wedding because you are important to us, and our top priority is making sure people feel safe at our celebration.

Your health is of the utmost importance to us and we have no doubt that when we can come together, it will greater than we could have ever imagined. In the meantime, hug your loved ones at home a little longer. Be safe and be well.

Invites and postage can quickly add up. Since everything about our wedding will remain the same apart from the date change, I will just be sure to communicate the details thoroughly to our guests.
