Thank you so much to Good Morning America for interviewing Wedding Planning Experts at Bliss Events, on “How to plan, postpone, or cancel a wedding during the Coronavirus pandemic”.

“We know weddings and events will need to pivot, but we also know weddings will always be about love and connections -- that will never change," Renny Pedersen, owner and senior event planner of Chicago-based Bliss Events, told "Good Morning America."

“To postpone, begin by immediately contacting your vendors, including everyone from your venue to photographers. Be sure to review all contracts previously signed, and confirm a new date. Next, thoroughly review your guest list to assess your guests' travel needs, as several will likely appreciate having time to adjust their plans.

"If a vendor is not going to budge and it is really unreasonable, you need to go back to your priorities and see if they are a vendor you want to continue to work with," said Pedersen. "Or, you need to understand there may be some loss due to this pandemic and move on in a positive direction."

If you have already sent out "Save-the-Date" correspondence for your special day, Pedersen advises sending an updated "Change-of-Date" note.

Here's a template for that message:

In light of recent world events, our wedding is postponed until we can celebrate together on NEW DATE 2021.

Despite the circumstances and delay, our hearts remain filled with joy and excitement for the wedding and we are forever thankful to have such supportive friends and family.

Please be on the lookout for a follow-up announcement in the mail in the fall to collect new RSVPs. We are so excited to celebrate with you at the same place on the new date!

If you are continuing with a fall or winter wedding in 2020, you might want to consider sending a "Hope" card. Here's a template for that:

We wish you and your families health and safety during these unprecedented times.

We hope to celebrate with you on DATE 2020 and will continue to monitor the situation and communicate plans on our website.

Additionally, make sure to include a line advising guests to regularly check your wedding website for updates.

"We also highly suggest clients pick up the phone and call each and every guest to let them know as well, which is lovely and definitely keeps every one of their guests feel connected and important," said Pedersen.

Try a virtual wedding! Many couples have found success in this concept, and experts predict there will be more.

Wedding planning and design firms like Bliss Events have been adapting to create unique virtual experiences for couples who'd like to keep their original dates

"We are creating custom virtual wedding designs for our clients by sending them a curated box of decor goodies to include linen samples, interactive vision boards, floor plans, mini versions of their floral table centerpieces, menu flavor profiles, rental suggestions and signature drinks in mason jars to try at home," said Pedersen.
