Rescheduling your wedding is the latest hip trend! No time to explain why! If you’re supposed to be married sometime this decade, you most likely have to reschedule. We’ve compiled this list to help you tell your friends and family “No, sorry, we’re moving the date,” with flair and pizzazz.
Online Party – Zoom, FaceTime, Skype, Gchat. There are so many ways to speak face-to-face with someone in a different building! Use this sorcery to have little virtual get-togethers with members of your would-be wedding party. People can even dress up formally and pour champagne! Announce the new date at the beginning or end of the party. It’s like a gender reveal, but with numbers!
“Lose the Date” Cards – Instead of “save the date” cards, send out some “lose the dates!” Explain the rescheduling and include some funny or cute pictures of you two in quarantine!
Get creative with the pictures: your cat wrestling with an old “save the date” card, you two in fake protective gear made from household items, you two chilling in lawn chairs in the living room, etc. Whatever fits your personality and interests! (Just remember to wash your hands before stuffing anything into envelopes.)
Funny Video – Inform everyone of your rescheduling with a funny video to post to social media! Film a sketch in your kitchen, make an Instagram story that ends with the new date as the “punchline”, or make a TikTok where you lip-sync to a song about waiting, or perseverance. (We recommend, as always, Bon Jovi’s “Livin’ on a Prayer.”)
Animal Crossing Wedding – Have you ever wanted to get married on a beautiful island? Now you can, in the world of computer game! If you and your friends are gamers, announce your rescheduled date by having a party/virtual wedding on Animal Crossing. Mail out invites through Dodo Airlines, decorate your island, and then chat the night away! Don’t forget to invite Tom Nook, your raccoon landlord, or he’ll feel left out.
Use your creativity to make these suggestions your own thing. With these tips, you’ll be able to make your announcement with a bit more verve than a simple facebook post!
