Need Your Help - Have to Change the Date but Already Sent STD's

    Hey Hive,

    I'm in need of your help.  FI and I just found that we're going to have to change the date of our wedding.  We're getting married on a small island where resources (catering, rentals, etc) are extremely limited.  There was a miscommunication with our caterer and we just found out yesterday that we have to push the wedding back by a week.  The wedding is next September, so it's n ot all that serious because no one has booked travel or accommodations, but we've already sent our save-the-dates with the original date.

    So now we've got to spread the word that the date has changed.  We're going to put the new date on our website, and let everyone know by word of mouth, but we'd like to send out something formally to all of our guests to let them know.

    I'm wondering what you guys think would be best?  I'm thinking just a simple little card explaining that we've had some issues and it's best for everyone that we push it back a week.  We'd love to do something silly and make light of it, so I'd love to hear your ideas or thoughts.  I know everyone here is so creative (much more so than me).

    Thanks!!!

    It may be easier to call everyone and explain--and a little more personal to the people getting the calls! Divide it up between you, FI (and both sets of parents if you can) and change it on the website after all the calls are made. Make sure that you talk to everyone, not just an answering machine message!

    If you think people will forget/not write it down, you could probably send another STD and be safe--just note the change.

    I would probably send out a new save the date - I am not sure how I would word it, but I would acknowledge that you are changing the date on it.

    I'd make phone calls, just to make sure everyone knows.  Plus it's more personal.

    I'd make phone calls and send new STDs - just in case people keep the old ones around and forget about the date change!

    I would def. send a new save the date and maybe make fun of the language difference and how there was miscommunication? Could be cute!
