All That You Need to Know About Change-the-Date Announcements

With this health emergency taking over the globe by storm, a new wedding jargon is born into play. It looks like save-the-date has a new sibling and it is widely gaining popularity with brides and grooms of 2020.

Change-the-date announcements, just like the save-the-dates, let all the guests know of a change in the wedding date. It is brief, clear, and concise as it expresses the couple’s need to move the wedding date especially during a health emergency crisis taking place. The couple can send out actual cards but it is easier and safer to create these announcements digitally and have them sent out via email, direct messaging or thru chat groups.

For instance, the couple can send out a quick change-the-date to all their wedding guests who have sent in RSVPs over at their wedding website or their Facebook event page. When everything is back for business and open again as normal, you can send out change-the-date cards for formality and to ensure everybody gets the message clearly.
