We've been engaged for a year and a half now, with our wedding date set for this coming April. The past several years have been a challenge economically and we are not where we'd thought we'd be at this point. So we've decided to majorly scale down the wedding plans.
Originally when we got engaged we were excited and promptly booked the venue and photographer, and sent out the STDs.
Now we have decided it would be best for us to not spend money on a wedding, and to do an "elopement' style wedding instead. Like, a ceremony on the sand with only our parents. This means the 45 STDs that were sent out are not going to get invitations to our wedding...(a major faux paux, i know).
Should we send out some sort of post card letting everyone know of the change so that people aren't left wondering what's going on?
What is the proper thing to say to people?
