Postponed wedding reception

[cococovido]

We have had to postpone our wedding reception (supposed to early December). We will still get married with 15 and can have the reception December 2021 as the venue will let us postpone for one year without losing money.

If you were a guest, would you be bothered going?

Yes absolutely!

Yes, we have friends who have done this and we will be going to all their receptions next year. Very much looking forward to them!

Of course. Your friends and family will be happy to celebrate your wedding, whenever that celebration may be.

It could be nicer - not such a long day with all the hanging around as photos are taken etc. I'd definitely come!

My cousin effectively did this years ago - obviously not due to a pandemic, just because that's how they decided to arrange things. They had their actual wedding with just parents and siblings and went for a nice lunch after, and then had the reception a couple of months later. And you know what? It was bloody brilliant. I remember thinking it was a bit unusual beforehand, but after going I basically decided that if I ever got married I'd seriously consider doing the same.

They didn't have to worry about coordinating all the business of getting married and the party part all at the same time, they could just focus on each bit on its own day. They weren't knackered by the end of the day, or navigating being a bit weirded out by now being married. It was really lovely and they clearly had a great time, and I definitely did!

Maybe if you call it an anniversary party. I don’t think I’d go to a wedding evening a year after the actual marriage as would seem strange.

I was going to say the same as Icecream. Call it a first anniversary party :)
