We are here to help if you need to cancel or postpone an event. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need assistance updating your card text, your event date, or if you need any coins for a future send once your event has been rescheduled.
If you're interested in updating your postponed event to a Virtual Event instead, any card or Flyer design on our site allows you to add a URL to your virtual event. Instructions can be found here, or reach out if we can help.
We have designs available for sending wedding postponement cards to your guests, available here, and Change the Date cards here.
Canceling an Event from a Computer
If you need to cancel or postpone an event from our desktop site, you can follow these steps:
- After logging in, hover over your name/email from the homepage and select 'Postbox' from the dropdown menu.
- From the Sent & Scheduled section of your postbox, find your card. Then hover over the Manage menu that appears to the right of the date sent and choose Edit the Design.
- Go to the Customize page for the event and edit the text on the card to say something that indicates the event has been cancelled or postponed
- Click through the design to the Reply Card and under "Reply Card Options" select "Greeting Card". This will remove the option for your guests to RSVP. For more info about changing the card type, see here.
- On your Tracking page, use the 'Follow Up' tool to send a note to all your guests alerting them of the cancellation. You can also cancel any future scheduled reminders if needed from the toolset.
For a rescheduled event, you have a couple of options:
- You could update the existing card for your guests to see a cancellation notice (See above). Then, create a new copy of the card to send, so that you can get a new, accurate headcount.
- Your other option would be to edit the existing card and send out a follow up message to your guests. With this option, it may be a little trickier to get an accurate headcount. Here's some additional information for this option: http://bit.ly/2qkWAfS
