As you’ll probably know by now, we have had to postpone our December wedding. It SUCKS! So to mark what would have been our wedding day and day 12 of Blogmas I want to share with you 20 special ways to celebrate you postponed wedding.
20 special ways to celebrate your postponed wedding
1. A weekend away
Just before lockdown 2.0 whatever was announced, we booked a secluded minibreak. Now we are not sure if we can go ahead. But it would be a lovely way to spend time with your future Husband or Wife.
2. Formal fancy dress
Why not get dolled up for the day? OK so it won’t be your wedding dress or suit but add a bit of glam to whatever you’re doing.
3. Zoom call with your wedding party
Why not get all your Bridesmaids and Groomsmen together online and share a drink and a giggle with each other. Maybe even play some games online. You could even give Mr & Mrs a bash.
4. Drink Champagne in your Pjs
So rather than dressing up to the nines, why not stay in your Pjs and drink champagne while binge watching rubbish on the TV? Sounds pretty good fun to me!
5. Cook your wedding breakfast
No matter what was on the menu for your Wedding day, get cooking and enjoy it regardless!
6. Buy a cake
You could buy any cake, you could even make your cake. And bloomin’ enjoy it! As they say… Let them eat cake!
7. Mark the moment with a gift
Why not buy each other something special to mark the day.
8. Listen to your wedding songs
You could even have your first dance together or use the extra time to choose some new musical choices.
9. Swap wedding rings
This one is not for me I don’t think, but it has been really popular for lots of postponed couples.
10. Read each other your vows
You could even write some just for the day and keep the real ones for the big day. It’s a day to share your love for each other.
11. Create a video of your day to share on your wedding day
Why not have a little fun and create something that you can play to your guests on your wedding day. Or you could share it on social media
12. Write a love letter
Share it with your partner on the special day
13. Have a wedding photoshoot
Document the whole day in the same way you would your wedding day.
14. Have a couples spa day
What better way to celebrate than to relax completely for the whole day.
15. Decorate like it’s your Hen/Stag do
Get your veil on, maybe a bow tie and cover the house in special decorations. Big balloons and flowers, you could even get blinding drunk if you choose to. Just make sure its over the top and beautiful!
16. Make cocktails
Why not try making every cocktail you’ve loved together? We love cocktails so I can imagine this would be a lot of fun. Plus you can get blinding drunk… See above!
17. Go to the place you got engaged
OK this might not be so easy if you’re crossing tiers or if the place you got engaged at is shut. But if you can, this would be a lovely way to spend your postponed wedding day.
18. Spend the day with close family
This might not work for all but in time, hopefully you can share this precious day with your close family.
19. Recreate your Favourite date
Whatever this might be, get out and make it happen.
20. Stay home and stay safe
If you can, take advantage of a childcare bubble and just spend the day together. You could throw in as many of the above in as physically possible!
No matter what you choose to do on what would have been the most important and special days as a couple, enjoy it. Allow yourself to feel sad about it but try to cherish the day and make the most of the time together.
Stay safe and congratulations to you and the person you are choosing to spend the rest of your life with.
Have you had to postpone your wedding this year? Have you marked the day or do you plan to?
Pre-emptive congratulations for next year. I’m glad you found some ways to celebrate. Can’t wait to see and hear about your big day in 12 months time. Xx
Oh I’m so sorry you’ve had to delay but I sure hope you’re actual day will be all the more special for it. Good tips for staying positive and enjoying the wait. Mich x
My wedding was postponed in May this year. And with everything going on, I am so scared that it’ll be postponed again in May 2021. The thought of it actually breaks my heart. I’ve gone through phases of not wanting to think about to talking about it non-stop. It’s taken a lot of the fun and magic out of it which is really sad.
I’m not sure how we’ll celebrate if we can’t do it again next year but I’m trying to keep positive!
