Postponement Cards for Weddings Affected by COVID-19
You've decided (or were forced) to postpone your wedding due to COVID-19. All of your guests have already received their Save the Dates and/or invitations. As if these times weren't already stressful enough, you now need to notify over 100 people that your long-awaited day has been moved! Behold the sibling of Save the Dates: Change The Dates. A Change the Date is an official way of notifying your guests that your wedding has been postponed to a new date, which can be sent as a physical card or digitally. Check out some ideas on Change the Date wording, designs, and where to get them.
Amaryllis Paperie
Member of the RILC vendor team (and a Rock Island Lake Club bride!), Amaryllis Paperie offers all things wedding calligraphy, stationery, and hand-lettered gifts. She has designed a postponement card (pictured below) for a couple who has rescheduled their wedding stating, "given the uncertainty of the present times, we have decided to postpone our wedding..." They also included a note telling guests to check their wedding website for further updates. Having a wedding website is so important, now more than ever!
The second card pictured below is for a couple who wanted to send out their invitations, but also acknowledged that their plans may change. We suggest all couples who are ready to send out invitations do the same.
