Have any of you changed the date of the wedding after sending invitations. Well heres my predicament, we have planned our wedding for the 9th march next year and everything seems to be happening and we havent paid off half of the wedding off as we should have by now! we cant get a loan as that is not possible so we have to change the date of the wedding! the thing is we have sent invites out as there are alot of people having to travel over 200 miles, so thought we would send them early! what can we do and say to them? there is no way financially we can afford to get married on this date! any advice on how to tell people or any wonderful excuses instead of we cant afford it lol!

As you are getting married in 5 months, i think there is enough time to send them a message or speak to them on the phone, or via web cam and tell them that something has popped up and that you have to changed the date and give them your your apologies, they should understand, because they are willing to travel to the first date, i think changing shouldn't matter that much.

Just be honest love. You never know some relatives might offer to help you out. You could leave it till next month and put it in the Christmas cards explaining what as happened. That way you will save money on postage. Same happened to my friend she spoke to wedding venue and they changed her party to the night so she could keep it on same day and just have an evening party. Is it from next month you can get married at any time so why don't you have a later wedding. It seems a shame to lose deposits. Hope it goes well. I know how you feel about affording it all. I wanted to get married this year but its going to be at least 2014. Good luck. I keep on playing lottery and hoping lol xx

I think you have be honest with them and tell them as soon as possible, but be prepared for some frosty receptions from people who may have booked accommodation in order to attend the wedding. Have you looked at maybe getting a 0% credit card rather than a loan? On most of them you have 12 months with 0% interest, so if you could do it within the next 12 months it may be worth a look, especially if you are going to lose money on deposits. Or maybe talk to the parents and see if they can sub you what you are short and work out a re-payment plan with them? xxx
