Dearest friends and family,
With heavy hearts, we write to you today with news that will likely come as a surprise and a disappointment.

We truly appreciate the thoughtfulness of those who have already offered gifts, sent well-wishes, or made travel arrangements. Please know that your generosity and kindness mean the world to us.
While we are not yet ready to share the full details surrounding our decision, we want to assure you that it is not a reflection of our feelings for each other. [Optional: Briefly and vaguely explain reason, e.g., "Unforeseen circumstances beyond our control have made it impossible to proceed with the wedding as planned," or "After careful consideration of our priorities and long-term goals, we’ve realized that this isn’t the right time for us to get married." Avoid overly detailed explanations; keep it respectful and brief].
What we *are* ready to share is our desire to connect with you all, our beloved community, in a more informal setting.

Feel free to bring a dish to share if you’d like!
The gathering will be held at:

With love and gratitude,
[Your Names]
P.S. We would appreciate it if you could refrain from asking detailed questions about the reasons behind the cancellation at the gathering. We will share more when we feel comfortable doing so.
