Show them you're thinking about them.

Updated May 13, 2020

There's no doubt about it: postponing a wedding is upsetting. After all, the planning process, combined with the anticipation of gathering with your loved ones, is an emotional process. If your loved ones have rescheduled due to the coronavirus pandemic, take a look at this list of postponed wedding gifts to help lift their spirits. Since social distancing orders require everyone to spend extra time indoors, we've curated gifts that maximize the time the couples spend together at home. Plus, sending a present can help the couple still celebrate their original wedding date.

Of course, there's also the couple's registry to consider. There is certain registry etiquette for postponed weddings, but the rules around postponed wedding gifts may seem unclear. It's best practice to give the couple a little something to let them know you're thinking of them. Not only will it cheer them up, it will also get them excited for their upcoming nuptials. See 18 of our favorite postponed wedding gifts that will make your loved ones smile, below.
