What to do with engraved wedding extras when you have postponed your wedding?

I’d use all of those items. No one is zeroing in on it like that (and photographer doesn’t need a zoomed in pic). It’s just glassware, serving utensils and and a book.

I would also recommend still using them. If you'd like to, you can add the new date on those items underneath the original date, since the original date is part of your story. But I don't think there's a need to repurchase the items.

I am in the same predicament. I have party favors, party favor bags, and my flutes that have my original date. What we decided to do was keep the favors with the original date. I found these cute wedding labels that I can put over the original date. For the flutes, I think we are going to reorder with the new date. That is something that we will use for years to come and we want it to have the date we said "I Do".

I think it’s totally fine to use everything. It’s part of your story and people don’t worry about that.

That's why I have been considering repurchasing, it's not about the guests seeing it but about having those items for years to come and looking at them and seeing the date I didn't get married, rather then the day I did. I like the idea of the stickers I might look into that for the guest book, but I think this definitely helped me with the decision. Thank you!

You are so welcome!

I think it would be really nice if you still use them after all the date has a place in your life story

Maybe you could sell them to someone who is getting married on that date? A stretch but you never know, people might jump at a small discount on a pre-engraved gift.

I considered that but it has the last name on it and the likelihood they'd be getting married the same date with the same name. I wish there was a way to buff it out but it seems unlikely without damaging it.

We plan to use them this year for our non wedding day celebration and will probably hold onto them, but with as rough as this year was we don't want to be reminded of it on our day.
