Cancel = arrange for a planned event not to take place after all: ‘Five of their players were either ill or injured, and so the match had to be cancelled.’
Postpone = arrange for a planned event to take place at a later time or date: ‘We’ve decided to postpone the wedding until Steve has found a job.’
