Postponing or cancelling your wedding

Not that it will happen to you of course(!), but if you do need to postpone or cancel your wedding, it's worth knowing how to inform your guests

Postponing a wedding

There are various reasons why your wedding may have to be postponed. Should the situation arise, you need to inform your guests with the same formally in which you invited them.

Postponement and cancellation announcements require the host to recall their wedding invitation. Recalling the invitations will officially cancel them. In the case of a postponement, a new invitation can then be issued. When the wedding is postponed at short notice it is acceptable to notify guests by phone.

Wording example:

Mr. and Mrs. (Bride's parents name)

regret that the illness of their daughter

(Bride's name)

obliges them to recall their invitations to her marriage to

Mr. (Groom's name)

Miss (Bride's name)

To
