10/10/2020 wedding- Covid 19

I'll be honest - I would wait a bit longer to decide on what you're going to do. Texas has been opening up, and as of last friday we can have weddings and funerals again. So depending on where you are, you might be just fine. We haven't really been having that many issues despite a lot of things opening. Just breathe and wait it out a bit more! I'm not sure you'll find many dates available in 2021, and unless you're set on your 400 guests with no safety precautions I think you'll be ok by October. Good luck girl! Breathe and try to take your situation into perspective with your state's guidelines and your guest list.

I totally understand where you’re coming from—I haven’t been getting on here as often due to anxiety and a lot of the forum posts about postponing send me over the edge! We are scheduled for December, but if I were you I wouldn’t make any final decisions on postponing until it’s closer to time if possible. You still have plenty of time; it’s good to have a plan B if you need to postpone but I’m really hoping that by September we are all able to have our weddings without too many restrictions

I am in the same boat with you. However, my wedding is scheduled for September 13th. I have considered a backyard wedding as my Plan B but have heart set on my original plans. I have no clue what to do!

I just postponed my July wedding to sept 26th. Depending on your state you may be perfectly fine. I’m in wv and right now we only have 500 active cases. We are slowly trying to open back up.

Date twins!!! I love our date 10/10/2020 and don't plan on canceling or postponing at the moment. I am for sure riding this out and hoping things will be better. We have a few months to go and alot can happen then. I'm waiting until the end of summer to make a final decision. Before this pandemic I was only inviting about 40 people anyways, so I'm feeling pretty confident my plans will not change. However, I do have a plan B to get married in my parents backyard in case my venue is still closed.

Our date is July 24th in Destin, FL. All of our venders/venue is booked and we have family coming in from all over! You’ll be fine girl 😉 you have plenty of time!! I’m not sure where you are, but things here in FL have already started to open back up and it’s going great here! The rate is still down, so that’s why I’m not worried.

I already postponed my May wedding to September and I’m moving forward as planned!! We are getting married Sept 4 and I am not even nervous no plan B this time !! So don’t stress I don’t come on this site as much anymore either it causes too much anxiety bc some people over react and some under react, some are over top for sure ... sooo I stopped looking lol !!

Hi Emily!
I can relate with how you’re feeling . We were scheduled for October 24, 2020 but rescheduled to May 15, 2021. The dress and uncertainty was very unsettling and once we decide to move the stress alleviated and my headache got much less. I pray things takes a turn for the better with COVID-19 and a cure is found expeditiously, if not more weddings will have to cancel . Each state has to go through a phase and maintain certain number of cases to even allow gatherings. Keep paying attention and implement your plan B just in case .

View Quoted Comment Hey Alex ! It’s great to keep a positive positive, just remember the 3 phase that we have to get through. I’m in Broward County FlorIda and we’re just starting to open up but we still have the phases to go through . Miami Dade county is still closed. Our VIP’s are from different areas which are greatly affected by COVID-19 so we had to reschedule: I’ll keep positive energy out there.

Im 10/31/20 we have 5 mo yet things are starting to open. The people are not going to tolerate being shuttered at home much longer. They are already rising up. Nothing is going to be the same not even for 2021 brides. Ya it may not be as bad as 2020 brides. But just like after 9/11 things changed the way we flew, and became had to become diligent with everything we did. Social distancing is here to stay. Plus every area is different. I got crap for saying this in a prior post but if I lives in the NY area I would post phone. Their governor isn't opening anything soon. He has made that clear. I feel so awful for all of us. It isn't fair but we have to roll with it and if we want to marry and move to the next phase if our lives and thats what’s important we will figure it out. If you are a bride that wants to wait u til next year that is great too. I also stay off this site as much as I can. We all have different situations and live in different areas. Heres to hoping we can both have our weddings in some type if capacity in October. Remember things are changing daily. It’s stressful and hard but try ti keep positive

I'm getting married November 7th. We will decide August 1st if we will move our wedding to our plan B wedding date which has been saved already with our venue. The plan B date is May 8, 2021.

View Quoted Comment I live in PA and I am definitely looking at a plan B. The county I live in is top 5 highest county's in PA with the most cases. I hope things do open up and cases go down. I want to get married this year not next May 8th my plan B

Hello there fellow bride. Well we are aet get married August 1st and we are just waiting until June July to make a firm decision. This has caused allot of anxiety and fear, it's my first wedding and I wanted it to be perfect.


Our plan B is fewer guests, however my original count is 50.. guests at an upscale restaurant. We have a wait and see what the venue says.
I think too it depends on the venue. Our ceremony is outside ..I think with the country reopening. It's a waiting game.
Just wish for the best!

I’ve been so stressed too! Our date is 10/24/20. We’re in CA, and started to feel hopeful, but still taking things day by day. With some stuff starting to open here I’m starting to feel more optimistic. Really hoping for the best ❤️
We are waiting until end of July/early August before making any decisions. We’ve talked about postponing until next year, or doing a smaller scale ceremony with our closest family and friends. I find myself checking the news everyday.
My most recent concern is whether or not my guests will be open to coming even if weddings are given the go ahead.

We were going to have July 11, 2020 but we just made the call to postpone until July 10, 2021. Everything is still so unsure. Everyone in my fiancee's family lives on the east coast and would have to fly. Almost all of them were sending their RSVPs as no, erring on the side of caution. We finally admitted it was best to wait. We're still going to have an elopement on our date and the party will be next year.

My fiancé and I made our plan b just the other day. Our original date is 10/10/20 and if we postpone, it will be in June 2021 hopefully; we have set the day to decide on postponing as July 1 since that is when we have to order our invites. I figured what better time to decide? If it’s still looking questionable then, we figured we may as well postpone just to be safe? We are in New York and the governor is being super strict with COVID protocols, so we have no clue what guidelines are. It would be nice if he came out tomorrow and said “you can have X or Y amount of people at weddings this year.”
There are so many factors we have to take into account:• how many people would we be able to have? We have 200 on our guest list and we in no way want to cut anyone out.
• would guests have to wear masks or anyone in attendance? (I’m not putting over $1,000 into myself just to have my husband not even recognize his wife on our wedding day. Heck no!)• if we wait to postpone any longer that July 1, how much less of a probability do we have for keeping our vendors that we have deposits with?• my sister will have a 5 month old and my brother will have a 2 week old. Would we feel comfortable asking them to come when they have tiny humans to think of?
With waiting until July 1, that gives us about two months to see how things are shaping up. And it puts us at 3 months out so we feel like we’re not jumping the gun super early. So much could change in two months. We want to have the wedding experience and want to enjoy our day, not stress out over COVID or restrictions.

Our original date was November 22 2020. We moved our date up to May 17th 2020 when my fiance found out he may be getting relocated for work ourt of state. We wanted to get married before moving , but then Covid destroyed all hopes of course. We re-schedueled our May wedding to July 26th as our new date. I am pretty confident that by end of July things should be semi back to normal since here in NJ things are oowlyy opening up.. the SAH order was extended til June 6th here, but I am staying positive that July 26th will be a go ! I would not at all move your wedding date yet or think of plan B. I would only consider changing your wedding plans around September if you guys can handle last minute plans and payments. When we had our May wedding canceled, we had stopped paying all vendors back in March when things got crazy really fast. Once we committed to July 26th, which was last week we started paying everyone and just hoping this goes through. Last minute planning is annoying but completely dooable

Backyard weddings are always nice for all the good reasons! you can have the most important people you love and are close to you two.

I think it's best to wait a little bit more to decide on whether to go ahead with you plan for the said months

Hope this is helpful.

Keep safe

I think Plan B is definitely on all 2020 Brides mind & I'm glad we have enough time to make a Plan B.
FH & I are discussing what Plan B will consist of.
Our 100 guest will most likely decrease to 20/30%.

I cant stand when people who dont live in a state pretend to know whats going on there. ny looks the worst but were the only state with infection rates on the decline while everywhere else infection is steadily rising. not only is every state different every region in state may be different. phase 3 is not that long away. ur talking about 4 weeks to get from phase 1 to 3. ur wedding is more than 20 weeks away u have sooo much time. please do not postpone till u have to
