How to word "save the New Dates" for weddings affected by Covid-19

Thank you for all of your input. I think we need to have one more conversation with our venue and play around with some STD re-wordings. I would hope that people are more mindful and empathic now more than ever because we are all trying to plan our weddings in a really difficult and uncertain period.

My fiance and I postponed our August 8 2020 wedding to August 7 2021 back in May and when we told everyone this is what we had written:

And if we have to change how many people we can have at our wedding by next summer then i'm sure we'll figure that out when the time comes

We are in the same situation. We were supposed to be married on August 8 and we postponed to August 2021. I was thinking of sending new re save the dates but I've been questioning that for the same reason. Part of me says just to send them out anyways. And if worse case scenario we have to make some cuts we would cross that bridge when we came to it. All of this makes making these decisions very difficult.

Originally we were going to send save the dates for 250 people for a December wedding before everything locked down. Once lockdown happened and the situation got worse, we decided to not send save the dates and just wait it out and see what we can do about invites when the time comes.

It's likely we'll move to March and we'll have a A and B list, with the A list being only the 50 that's allowed if we're in still Stage 3. Should things change for the better after the invites have gone out but far enough before our numbers are locked, we can invite the B list. We'll also understand if it's too short notice for some but it is what it is.

You have quite some time before you scheduled date. If you still want to send save the dates, you can do so later this year but personally I would only do so to the 50 you can retain if we're stuck in Stage 3. Rescinding an invite is worst than not being invited in my opinion.
