Saying I Do to a Postponed Wedding: Tips on Celebrating the Original Date

If you’ve recently had to make the difficult decision of postponing your wedding date, you’re probably feeling very disappointed. The past few months, even years perhaps, have been consumed with planning and attending to details surrounding this important day.

We get it. As the original wedding date nears, it's easy to get melancholy thinking about what you would be celebrating if things had been different. It’s okay to grieve. But when that day comes around, you can still celebrate your love for each other by doing some of the things you were most looking forward to (minus the “I do's" in front of your beloved crowd).

Write pre-wedding vows

With all your special moments in mind, we have created a list of ideas on how to still make your original wedding date one to remember. As difficult as it is to postpone this celebration, it can still be an opportunity to show your devoted partner that your love remains steadfast and infinite. Let this day still be special by each taking some time to write, and read aloud, pre-wedding day vows! Go through your journey as a couple, and relive some of your most cherished memories. This is the time to speak from the heart and not hold back; it will be something just the two of you will share.

Plan a virtual wedding toast with your wedding party

You’re probably missing your bride tribe right about now and feeling sad that you can’t see them sooner. The next best thing? Plan a video call with your entire wedding party. On your actual wedding day there wouldn’t be enough time to hear a toast from each of your friends. A perk of virtual wedding toasts? Everyone in your wedding party will have the time to say a few words. Before you know it you’ll be laughing and reminiscing about old times together, all while sipping on some bubbly.

Decorate your own wedding cake

We know your sweet tooth has been aching for that lemon-raspberry wedding cake with buttercream frosting for months now. After all the work you’ve put in, you absolutely deserve a sweet treat! So celebrate the evening by baking a cake and decorating it. This is the time to let loose and decorate it however you’d like. All that matters is that you're having fun making it together. As you’re enjoying your beautifully decorated cake, this is the perfect time to—not so delicately—feed each other a piece.

Dance to your wedding day playlist

There is no better way to celebrate than by turning on your wedding day playlist and dancing the night away together. This is your perfect chance to test out all your killer dance moves while in the comfort of your home. If you step on a toe, or awkwardly turn the wrong way, nobody is gonna know. So whether it's your moment to shine with your romantic first dance or a party hit you would’ve played later in the night, you will both have a blast jamming out to some of your all-time favorite songs.
