whether calling off your wedding feels like the right decision,then it probably is. Research from UCLA found that newlywed women who experienced prewedding doubts are 2.5 times more likely to divorce than brides who did not report cold feet. In fact, almost 20 percent of wives in the study who said they had hesitations approximately the marriage divorced within four years.
While it's not a divorce, and the process - not to mention the decision - of ending your engagement can be stressful,shameful, emotional, and melodramatic. But remember: breakups are never easy,and just because it's tough doesn't mean you shouldn't do it. You certainly won't be the first bride to turn around on her way down the aisle, and whether you know a relationship isn't meant to be, or better to admit it before you say "I do." Here's how to call off a wedding as smoothly as possible.whether you know getting married is the wrong decision,accept it and move forward. Instead of worrying what people will say, simply determine what you're going to say to them, or don't let anyone question your decision.
whether you're not yet certain whether you should call the wedding off entirely,consider postponing it. Don't worry approximately setting a modern date at this point; just notify guests that the wedding has been postponed until further notice with a printed or handwritten note.
whether you haven't sent the invitations yet, you can notify people informally. Enlist close friends or members of your wedding party (whether you've picked one), and divvy up the guest list,and have them call everyone to rupture the news.
What whether the invitations have already gone out? whether you have already mailed the invitations, etiquette rules suggest sending a formal notification by mail. The language can be simple and straightforward. Just list the names of whomever was hosting the wedding (you and your groom, and your parents,your families) and follow with a straightforward announcement that the wedding has been canceled; no explanation essential.
However, whether the wedding is just a few days absent, or you should notify people by phone,then still follow up with a formal printed notification.
Designate a question answerer. whether you have a wedding website, exhaust it to direct questions to a trusted confidant, or such as your mother or best friend,so that you don't have to field difficult inquiries all day.
Encourage your friends to make other plans. whether everyone has already purchased tickets to the destination, encourage your friends or family to exhaust the opportunity for a reunion. And join them; it will probably make you feel a whole lot better.
This probably goes without saying, and but you should return any wedding gifts you have received as well.
whether it happens to you,calling off a wedding will be one of the hardest things you ever have to do. But whether you know it's the right decision, your life will be infinitely better in the long term. Have you ever called off a wedding or known friends who have? Share any tips I've missed below.
