June bride

View quoted message We are just using our cell phone and using the data from that with a cellphone holder thing on a tripod. Thus you have a mic video and internet. But it has to be fairly close to you to be heard if your softer spoken. We are also doing a practice run with friends a couple days before. Best of luck!

View quoted message We were planning for this one. I will have my bridesmaid from out of province/country do the bible readings via zoom. We don’t know much about technology so we will just have to figure out how they can see the ceremony and how to connect the zoom thru projector. I hope it is possible.

We did immediate family only and set up a zoom meeting for day of so family out of province/country could watch. Its a free service but we upgraded for $20 a month for unlimited streaming in a 24 hour period.

View quoted message Thank you for all your suggestions!

Were gonna email our guests and we also updated our website.

We are in the same situation. We sent an email to everyone that said we have postponed the large celebration to 2021 and plan to get married on our original date with only immediate family present.

I like Kelcie's idea of reaching out to as many in person as possible and setting up opportunities to see those people to celebrate a bit after the wedding.


I think people will be understanding with everything going on.

**AT a later date

So exciting! Your day is right around the corner! It’s unfortunate that you have to deal with last minute downsizing but the good news is any right-minded person will be totally understanding. It’s so beyond your control. Like Hank said, you and your fiancé should reach out to guests via your regular means of communication and explain the situation. You could also delegate potions of the guest list to family members.


Because this will be “it” for your wedding celebration (your post gave the impression that you aren’t having a reception at a later date but if that is in fact your plan disregard this), I would recommend that you and/or your fiancé break the news personally to as many guests as you can. That way you can emphasize that you’d love to celebrate with them in some other fashion (eg dinner, a barbecue) and a later date. But then again, you are getting married in a matter of weeks so if time doesn’t permit hundreds of phone calls and emails that’s obviously fine!

Did you have a website taking RSVPs? You can message everyone through there. Otherwise, I think you'll have to call each individual to let them know but you can probably split the task (have your parents call certain family, he calls his friends, and you call your friends etc). Whether you call, text, email, or message on social media will depend on how close you are to your guest and how you normally communicate.
