When to send invites? Postpone wedding

Hello, I’m getting married in July too this year. I was going to send invites out end of April as hopefully by then we should have a better idea of how many people we can invite. I’m also DIY’ing the invites just on publisher and then printing them out on high quality card...I’ve already let the majority of my friends and family know about the date so they can plan ahead but if there are restrictions I’m sure they’ll understand. I’m the same as you, I want to get married this year no matter what and I am happy to celebrate later with everyone.

View quoted message This is a fab idea to DIY the invites ! We only want them plain white with black font!


Sending them out the end of April is a brill idea. The main people we want to come already know the date.
Thank you so much for your help !

Is your venue and all the details exactly the same as last time? If so

can you not just send a simple change the date? We bought our wedding invites from a wedding stationer and they went out in the spring last year for our September wedding. When it was postponed to July this year, the stationer supplied us with a free template which we just sent by text to people as the only change is the date. Everyone invited understands it’s a moveable feast so I don’t think people expect a new invite. They should be aware it may be postponed again or go ahead with hugely reduced numbers unless they’ve been under a rock this past year! If everything has changed there are several sites that do reasonably priced invites or Hobbycraft do a simple invite that you hand write. I don’t think people’s expectations are very high as far as receiving fancy invites are concerned, most people just want to know if it can go ahead and can they attend so don’t stress too much x

We should have been married September 2020, now postponed for 12 months. We had just ordered our invites when the Covid crap hit the fan and we knew we wouldn't get our day.

We used Zazzle, really great service, lots of designs and budgets to choose from. We will use them again, but I am not ordering anything until much nearer the time (probably May).

Hope this helps,

Honestly we did it all online via email, mainly because we have people from 2 countries and it’s also going to be much easier to send updates due to regulations and such!


Since we created a wedding website with Joy it was a lot easier to have a wedding list
