Do You Need to Postpone Your Wedding Because of COVID-19
If you need to postpone your wedding because of the effects of the coronavirus, know that you are not alone. Many engaged couples have had to adjust their wedding plans in recent years due to health concerns, travel restrictions, and safety precautions. Postponing your wedding can feel heartbreaking, but clear and compassionate communication can help ease the stress for both you and your guests. You can do this through a heartfelt email, a mailed announcement, or even a wedding website update. Your message should express gratitude, understanding, and excitement for the celebration ahead.
When you decide to postpone your wedding, the first step is to inform your guests as soon as possible.
Here’s a sample statement you can use or personalize for your own wedding communication:
Dear [Guest Name],
As the intensity of the COVID-19 pandemic continues to rise, and given the uncertainty of its effects, we have decided to postpone our wedding currently scheduled for [Original Date].
We cannot wait to celebrate with you in the near future and will be in touch as soon as we’ve finalized our new wedding day plans. (If you already have a new date, you can say “Please save the new date of [New Date].”)
With love,
[Your Names]
Your Loved Ones Want What’s Best For You
Remember, your loved ones understand and want what’s best for you. By communicating your plans promptly and positively, you set the tone for the beautiful celebration still to come. Even if your timeline shifts, your wedding day will still be filled with love, joy, and unforgettable memories.
