How Do You Announce a Wedding Postponement?
Before we take a look at the prettiest postponed wedding cards, you may be wondering how you should actually go about telling people about your change. We have a full guide on how to tell guests you’re postponing your wedding, as well as one which explains the practical steps you’ll need to take to actually move your wedding.
In short, the best way to tell people you are postponing is to contact them directly and quickly. Send out a mass email to let everyone know you’re moving the date, and be sure to call elderly relatives who may not have access to email. After that, it’s an ideal time to send out your postponement or change the date cards.
These best change the date cards ensure you can get your message out as efficiently and stylishly as possible during this tough time, and beyond. Whether you can let them know a change of date already, or are just getting the word out that the original date has been cancelled and more news will follow, these all do the job wonderfully.
