5 Things to Do Before Canceling/Rescheduling Your Wedding
So far, 2020 has been a challenging year. You’ve probably found yourself asking for a do-over or wishing the year would reboot without the virus. It has been difficult, and my heart goes out to anyone who’s lost a family member to the pandemic. I also want to acknowledge the health workers working on the frontlines to keep us safe!
Now, if you planned to get married this spring, you’ve probably been asking yourself, “should I still get married this year? After all the effort I’ve put into finding the perfect venue, choosing a cake, table settings, and my dress, should I still proceed with the wedding?” The answer to this is ‘no!’ This pandemic period isn’t the best time to host a wedding. Sad as it may be, this is the best and safest path to take.
So to properly cancel your present wedding date and reschedule for a safer time, here are five tips to guide you.
1. Contact your wedding planner
While you must have hired a wedding planner to plan your wedding, in this situation, you have to use their services to reschedule those plans. Your wedding planner will be able to answer essential questions like:
When is the safest time to host your wedding?
Will the guests still be able to travel?
Will I get losses from rescheduling?
Make sure you ask him/her any question you have concerning the postponement of the wedding to make proper rescheduling plans!
2. Go over your contracts
Any contract provided by your wedding planner, or vendors, must be reread and understood. So make sure you read through the fine print to ensure you did not miss anything. On that note, this will take us right to step 3.
3. Contact the vendors
Reach out to vendors, D.Js, florists, bakers, boutiques, and everyone else that got a deposit from you. Talk to them about your postponement plans and ask if they can also postpone their services. If you don’t have the time to do this, your wedding planner can take over –especially since it’s why you’re paying them!
4. Make new invitations
Once you’ve confirmed with your vendors that their services can be postponed, have your wedding planner send invitation cards to your guests with the new wedding date. If you still intend to wed as initially scheduled, send a confirmation email instead.
5. The countdown
Now that you’ve successfully rescheduled your wedding, you can sit back and relax until D-day. During this time, you can keep yourself busy by finding wedding items you didn’t have the time to recover. Find your something new, your something old, and your something blue. You can even go through your mother’s wedding box for extra wedding details!
Conclusion
Despite your wedding day being YOUR big day, your safety and the safety of your guest should come first. Hopefully, the pandemic will be over soon when you rescheduled your wedding.By that time, your wedding would be five times better than the original plan!
