My wedding was supposed to be on March 28th in the Bronx, NY. Due to the Coronavirus and all places being shut down for 2 weeks, we had to postpone to June 27th. My question is do I sent out new invitations? or would a quick card stating the new date and having people rsvp by text or email... is that tacky? We spent so much money on our invitations. We were 10 days out when we got the call having to postpone so I'm at a loss. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I think a postcard or digital invitation is fine in this scenario. I would recommend against text RSVPs just because that could be difficult to keep up with. Maybe have them RSVP on your wedding website?

I'm so sorry you're having to postpone your wedding, but it'll all be worth it. I think the idea of a small card with the date change on it is a good idea and an online RSVP as Caytlyn mentioned. It'll all work out and your day will be amazing, try not to stress!

I had to postpone too. I just called/text everyone. After all the disappointment and stress, I couldn't be bothered to create new invites or anything.

I am wondering the same thing! I like the idea of the card and a call or text reply. You def don't need to send out new invitations. I was thinking about email invitations as an option, but I don't have everyone's email addresses, only home addresses. I may use your card idea!

My wedding was may 30, 2020 and we cancelled yesterday due to trumps speech about things not getting better till July/August. We didn’t pick another date yet for our wedding, but we are thinking sometime next year because this pandemic could last longer than expected. July/August is the best case scenario if everyone’s contributes to social distancing in the nation. So I would recommend canceling and not picking another date just yet. We are all being inconvenienced: businesses, weddings, everything. But we have to be inconvenienced if we want our nation to get better by social distancing.
