Anyone rescheduling their planned wedding after having a minimony due to covid restrictions?

Yes many on top of many couples are doing this

With covid forcing many to reschedule and/or change plans this seems very common now. From what others have mentioned in previous posts, and from personal experience, people are still very eager and willing to celebrate at a later date. A renewal or recommitment ceremony sounds great. I suggest inviting those that you want to be there that day, even if they've declined your previous plans. Situations change and maybe they'll be able to attend the new celebration you're planning. Good luck!

My husband and I are in the same situation! We got married at a minimony in October, scheduled the big wedding for March 2021 and just had to reschedule that again to October 2021. Our guests are definitely looking forward to it, especially the people who weren't at the minimony.

We also changed the venue as well and we decided to cut our guest count too. That's where I will be wearing my big dress, our bridal party will participate in this one, literally the whole nine yards. Don't feel silly about it at all, COVID messed up things for us brides last year/this year but we definitely deserve everything that we've dreamed of as well.

I would invite everyone who you want, even if they declined the previous one because their situations could've changed.

Agreed with others! It’s your day and a time to celebrate. After the crazy year last year, I think people will be eager to celebrate. We’re doing the same thing (minimony this year and large celebration in feb 2023)

Yep we were in the same boat! Originally planned our wedding for July 2020, ended up doing a small backyard wedding with just our immediate families on our original date. Pushed the big celebration to April 2021 and ended up making the difficult decision to cancel everything a couple weeks ago instead of pushing it off again. It sucks, but we're tired of putting our lives on hold to throw a party.

I completely agree with you, I feel absolutely feel silly 'planning' our 1 year celebration when it's looking more and more that we will still have a backyard celebration instead of the big venue we originally planned. At this point we are just having the conversation with all of our guests (we talk to the majority of them often) about what to expect and how the day will look different as much as we wanted that traditional venue celebration.
In terms of the invitations we just planned on wording it something like a 1 year celebration/vow renewal and just keeping our mindset on having a blast celebrating with whoever is comfortable joining us and completely understanding if there are those who cannot no matter the reason. It is an awkward feeling to navigate all of this but you're not alone!

You can call it whatever you want! Covid has turned everything upside down, that’s not your fault!

I'm in the same boat- got married june 2020 and moved the reception to may, and now it's July... One be invites we say "celebrate our marriage" and also that it will be a 1 yr vow renewal and reception. We're still planning it like a wedding because our ceremony was pretty basic! We said our 'i do's' and had a cake from whole foods on the lawn. We didn't have a florist or a meal or dancing, and our families haven't even met yet! So at least for us we are planning the wedding we always wanted, and we expect people to come because they love us and want to celebrate us.

I’m doing a one year anniversary reception as well. I’m calling it the “happily ever AFTER party.”😉 I put on there come eat,drink,and be married! Celebrate our one year anniversary- reception only! It will be nice to see everyone who couldn’t travel due to covid. And no worry if the formalities and pictures etc. we are doing a simple park shelter venue and getting tacos. 😊good luck on your special day!!
