need to cancel wedding and make new date


Recommended Posts

we were planned for a wedding for may in dr. unfortunately my mom has been recently diagnosed with cancer with a very poor prognosis. she is unable to travel. we will be having an ahr. we are in the final stages of picking a place and are hoping to do it on her bday in aug. we are unsure if she will be here but are hopeful. we now have to send out info to let people know of the change. everyone pretty much is aware of whats going on right now. this is where i need your help ladies. do you think we can send a letter ? we really didn't want to spend alot of invites again since we did message in a bottle. i would like it to say something like a celebration of and love and life...... any help is greatly appreciated!! thanks:)

omg i am soo sorry.wedding planning should be a happy time.you dont deserve to have this worry.but what you are doing sounds great.try and make the letter light hearted (if possible).i would just put what you said about celebrating love+life and the change of date.at the bottom of the letter will you need to put new rsvp,s?

I am so sorry for the poor diagnose and my thoughts are with you. That said, I am not good when it comes to etiquette but under the circumstance I think a email would be fine. Maybe you could have a picture of the three of you and the message be upbeat, like you said, celebrating life. If your mother is too sick to attend I would look into streaming your wedding live and she can watch it from home. Just make sure your AHR has a fast internet connection and that your mom does as well. Your reception is going to be so special!

First of all, my prayers are with you and your family. I will share some advice that my friend got when she was in a similar situation: "if you cannot change the situation, do not let the situation change you." - Remain upbeat, positive and hopefull for the future.

 

Given the quick change in circumstances a letter is perfectly fine. The tone should reflect one that is celebrating life, love and all that is precious. Remember, life is all about creating new memories to treasure.

 

Best wishes :)

rdhbride - I am so sorry for what your family is going through. We found out between our ceremony and AHR that my mom has cancer as well. If you need to "talk" feel free to PM me - I know how hard it is.

 

Let me also say, that many guests who came to the AHR knew about my mom's situation, and it made the reception that much more special, as it truly was a celebration of life and love! It was held 2 days before her first surgery.

 

I think that sending out a letter is fine as well - and certainly everyone will understand.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
