Informal wedding invitation wording flexible enough for 2021's chaotic vibes

I’m working on the wedding invitations for my 2022 wedding, and all informal wedding invitation wording examples I’m finding online feel like they’re from the before-times. I don’t need to talk about the pandemic specifically on my invitations, but it feels weird not to acknowledge that weddings are different now than they used to be. I’m having a casual microwedding in my backyard, and I know I’m not the only one who’s struggling with informal, casual, but also celebratory wedding invitation wording. Help??

Wedding invitation wording during covid-19: Maybe, possibly, depending of the state of the plague

Will we be able to invite 4 people, 20, 50? None? I would love to hear some ideas on wording a "you may or may not, possibly, be invited to our wedding, but we would like you to save the date, for now"-invitation.

In this Coronavirus era, where many couples are choosing to elope or have microweddings out of concern for not wanting to gather in large groups, we're likely going to be seeing lots of these kinds of questions…
