Planning to move forward with our October 24th 2020,wedding in pa. The limit is 250 and we only have about 110 guests coming, I have heard from several people that I am being selfish going forward with my plans and it makes me feel horrible! Anyone else experience this?

    I don't think you're being selfish. We're full steam ahead with our 10/10 wedding in the Keys. If people don't feel safe to attend, then don't is the way I feel - But nearly every person (50) invited to our wedding is an "essential" worker and none of us have taken time off so we're all looking forward to it.

    My thought is, I WANT you there, but I'm not going to be upset if you choose not to go and won't hold it against you if you don't feel safe to go.

    Not selfish.
    My date is October 3rd. We are inviting 130 people. I haven’t had anyone (except online) tell me I shouldn’t be having my wedding. My guest are adults and they know the risk; it’s about as high as going to Walmart on a Saturday. Obviously we will be following state rules (right now mask are mandatory here) and we’ll have hand sanitizer at each table.
    I don’t understand calling someone selfish for having their wedding. It’s not like guest are being forced to come. If they aren’t comfortable, they won’t come.

    Honestly, I’m waiting for that hammer to drop with my November 21st wedding. We were supposed to have three family weddings this year and last week my aunt and my cousin both canceled their weddings that were supposed to be in September and August (which was rescheduled from June). So now I am the only family member who still on track to have their ceremony and reception. I come from a very passive aggressive family, so I’m waiting for the snarky comments and the guilt tripping to begin.

    Not selfish at all. Like the others have said, no one is forcing them to show up. If they feel uncomfortable with coming, they can stay home. Just be prepared for people to take that option and remember you didn't cause it and you allowed them the freedom of their choice Smiley winking

    You're not being selfish at all, people must understand we don't even know what things are going to be like in October & every state has different rules/laws/policies that are allowing for safe reopening so people can continue on with their lives. If I was getting married this year & California reopened more than it is now, I'd continue on. No point in postponing if your home state & venue are allowing you to continue.

    Just tell people that they're still invited, but if they're still unsure then you understand & you won't hold it against them. However, to tell you that you're selfish even though you have way less than your state's max is a bit much. After all that's been going on, if you can still hold your wedding then go ahead & enjoy yourself.

    It’s not selfish...you’re giving them a choice to attend, which is up to them. I think placing guilt and blame is quite selfish in and of itself.
