What is the best way to let guests know wedding is cancelled after invitations sent? I was thinking about maybe a post card in the mail.

    My brother in law cancelled his wedding after invitations went out.  He then sent out a second notice in the mail saying the wedding was cancelled.  I'm not sure if he had any problems with that, but we got the message okay.  It seems like the most straightforward way to go about it.

    EDIT: I'm sorry :-(

    A postcard type of announcement would be fine.  It can be very simple - "The wedding of John and Jane will not take place as planned."





    I'm sorry.

    I think if your family is willing to make phonecalls, that might be better, especially if you have Out of town guests.  Sorry you have to deal with this.

    I'm sorry you're dealing with this.  A postcard would probably be easiest and should suffice.  Should you get any RSVP cards back from anyone, I'd probably actually call, or have a family member call, those people just to make sure they got the card.  The post office can be wonky.

    I agree with everyone else that a simple post card is fine, but you may want to ask a family member or close friend to call any out-of-town guests for you, so they don't end up making travel plans.

    I'm so sorry.

    When dd's wedding was cancelled several years ago, she was an emotional wreck and in no shape to worry about notifying or calling anyone.  Nor did she want to explain to everyone on her 400-guest list.  Folks on the E-board then insisted that cards needed to be sent to everyone right away, so I did, and it was the best solution.  I printed formal cards on my computer that said "Mr. and Mrs. Weddingmuse announce that the marriage of their daughter First Middle to Former Fiance will not take place".
    It took the heat off my poor kiddo.

    Do it asap.

    Sorry you are going through this.

    My wedding got delayed due to immigration issues after we'd sent out overseas invites. We made a simple postcard on Vistaprint and sent those out as soon as we found out.

    Sorry to hear this is happening to you :(
