Questions registry/invites ! Wedding March 6th

If you have already sent out save the dates to people, but are now not able to invite them due to Covid restrictions, you need to let those people know because they are still under the assumption that they will be invited to your wedding. The easiest way to handle that situation is to live stream your ceremony and send the people who have had to be cut due to Covid restrictions an invitation to the live stream event. There are all kinds of invitations available online for this specific thing. If you do not plan to live stream the event, I would send out change of plans cards, or else call each person individually.
As far as a registry goes, you never include registry information in an invitation. Simply put your wedding website address on the invitation and guests can access your registry there.

You don't put your registry info on save the dates or invites, and definitely don't send out a wedding announcement with registry info! That will come across as soliciting gifts. You can put your wedding website information on the save the date or the back of the wedding invite, and your guests can find the registry through the website.

Your registry shouldn’t be included anywhere on your invitations or wedding announcements.


For those that will no longer be invited, you should definitely tell them in advance, don’t just not send an invite. Is it possible to let them watch virtually? If so, I would send something that says “unfortunately, we have to keep our guest list to immediate family because of social distancing precautions. Please join us virtually for our ceremony on ___ at ___,” and include the link.
Those that are still invited should receive invitations. Word of mouth isn’t a good method to invite someone to a wedding.
