With the new health measures, thousands of weddings will not be able to take place. As organizing a wedding is expensive, it is always better to opt for a postponement and not a cancellation. So an essential question arises:how to tell your guests that the wedding has been postponed?
In recent years, it has been common to first send an invitation to ask the guests to reserve the date when you plan to get married (save the date). Then, a second more official announcement is sent to specify the place, confirm the date and send the right number of invitations. From now on, a third announcement can be added to modify the date.
This third shipment is the famous Change the date. With the covid-19, it has obviously become widely popular. Generally, it is quite simple to set up. Simply take the design from the original wedding invitation you used and edit the date and text. So you can easily explain everything to each of your guests.
Changing the date of your wedding celebration obviously goes through several steps and it all depends on the progress of your organization. If you're just starting to consider a date and haven't announced it to anyone, then there's not much you can do. Choose another date and announce it with an announcement directly, or a save the date card.
If you only sent one save the date card, you can send another one. Or, you can settle for an announcement that explains the change of date. If your invitations are already printed with the old date, you can add a card that changes the date and explains why. Finally, you can also simply print new wedding invitations with the new date. This will probably be necessary if you have already sent the first ones.
The electronic announcement has never met with immense success. Marriage has a very special relationship with traditions and it is therefore not surprising that the paper announcement remains the most popular.
However, if you have opted for an electronic announcement, changing the date is even easier. You just have to recreate an identical one and modify the date. Some electronic announcement services will charge you for this modification and re-sending, others will not. Find out first.
