My fiance and I finally started having the discussion on rescheduling our April 17 wedding. Its been on my mind since we got engaged and now that our date is so close, we are trying to decide the best course of action. So for those of you planning an April wedding, are you continuing with planning...

    We are scheduled for April 3, 2021 . Everything is still going as planned. Our venue was operating at 50% which caused us to decrease our guests list from 200 to 100. No we're back at 150 guests.

    We are going forward! Our venue allows for all safety precautions without limiting our guest list. We will be able to have our 100 guests and keep everyone safe. Here is what I put on our wedding website: April brides - are you rescheduling? 1

    We are still moving forward. We are getting married on 4/23 in Florida and everyone is traveling since we all live in PA. Whoever is willing and able to make the trip we appreciate and we are full steam ahead.

    My fiance and I are still gping ahead with out April 17th wedding. We already postponed it once and we don't want to postponed it again. We are hoping the virus will slow down by then. But either way we are still gping ahead with our wedding and those that feel its unsafe do not have to come but we are doing some type of zoom for those that decided not to come. This virus took alot from alot of us and we are not going to let it take away our day with family and friends. If the schools can still play contact sports like wrestling and basketball then why shouldn't we have our big day. Tomorrow is never promise anyways.

    We were originally scheduled for April 26, 2020 and decided to get properly married on that date, just the two of us, but postpone the celebration until April 23, 2021. We are now planning to cancel the celebration scheduled for April 2021.

    Our date is 4.3.21 and still moving forward and don't plan to postpone at all. Our venue is all outdoors, so we think all will be ok. If something does take a turn, we kind of have a backup plan to still get married. We are also understanding that if some family and friends choose not to come as well.

    I was hoping to have my wedding last year but Covid hit and we postponed. We decreased our guest count from 120+ to 20 (parents, grandparents, and siblings). I also made the decision to either rent or create barriers and separate households into their respective groups because my fiancé's mother is high risk and my family does not wear masks. It's very upsetting. We are also considering eloping but I know he really wants his family to be there. Even with the vaccine, my family is not going to take it so there goes that plan. Smiley sad we've thought about streaming our wedding so everyone could be there in spirit and then have a big celebration on our 1 year anniversary once this all dies down.

    We are 4/25 in CA (the Bay Area) we’ve been talking about this the past few days and are probably going to postpone. We have no indoor or outdoor dining here at this point and being that April is right around the corner we think it’s better to go ahead and push the date as we would like to have our wedding as normal as possible with dancing and everything. Unfortunately with all 2020 couples already rescheduled to 2021 plus the original 2021 couples there are literally 0 dates available until 2022

    Just got engaged on 12/27 and decided on a 4/1 date. With only family (and 5 close friends), we're a little below 50 guests. We haven't locked in a venue yet, but we're making sure our vendors are flexible in case # of guests needs to change. In any case, we're set on 4/1 even if has to be a courthouse wedding.

    Our venue owner wouldn't allow us to reschedule because there wasn't enough time to secure another couple for 4/10/21. Totally understandable, so we are moving forward with the wedding. A good portion of the wedding will be outside and the venue will be supplying masks and hand sanitizer for our guests. We also put a note on our website explaining our expectations to guests and not to come if they had any symptoms or were not feeling well. We are a little nervous about it but didn't really have an option without losing a lot of money.

    In this case, I think it’s wiser to reschedule. It would most likely cost your guests flight rebooking fee, but it would be saver for everyone.

    We have decide to reschedule for September. Our families agreed it was best. I'm kind of sad because I loved our date 4-3-21 but I will definitely will not push things back again! But I didn't have a huge guest list only 100 people and thankfully my venue is all inclusive!!

    My wedding is 4/10 and our guest list actually increased because people want to come out for it. We're not cancelling. That's a waste of money and our time.

    Aww April 17 is our date too! So cool to see our wedding buddies!


    It’s really hard... I had this dream of having my entire family at our wedding but that is definitely not going to happen. We are still inviting our 100 guests but I expect maybe 30-40 will actually be able to attend. It hurts my heart, but also I am really attached to this date (our anniversary is April 16 and we chose April 17 not long after meeting as our wedding date) and we are ready to get married.
    I have always said whether there are 10 people or 100 who are able to attend, we will get married that day. We have a videographer and can share ceremony footage with everyone who couldn’t attend, and we are considering doing some sort of anniversary party in 2022 and inviting all the wedding guests to come to that so we can still all be together.
    I am also looking into doing masks as the wedding favors - I want to find a cute design people will actually want to use outside of just the event, but I think that along with asking guests to quarantine for a week before coming and get a test, if possible, would be ideal. Almost all of our guests are from out of state too, though, so it’s tough. Most are going to try and drive, which is quite an adventure, but we are making it work !
    At the end of the day I guess it’s just what you make of it? Your wedding day will be special no matter what. Or at least that’s what I keep telling myself. 😅

    Hi my wedding is on April 24 as of right now we’re having it no matter what even if we have to go only have our immediate family and us there we’re having it no matter what and then maybe after her the whole Covid situation will have a big party if needed. But as of right now we are still plan on having our wedding with everybody there.

    Our wedding is in Ventura County and we are limiting our guest count to 50. Our guest count is 20% of the capacity of the venue. I am hoping we are back to indoor dining at limited capacity by our wedding date. We will live stream the wedding for anyone who does not feel comfortable attending. The choice to postpone is very personal and takes into account many different variables; venue, guest count, expectations (yours and your family's). My fiancé and I are in our late 40's and this a second wedding for both of us. We have very little expectations put upon us from others. So as of right now, we are not postponing. We will go on as planned as best we can.

    My fiancé and I decided to postpone to 2022 since the stress of not knowing if we can hold the date or not was too much. Plus it was making it even harder to lose any of the holiday weight Smiley smile. We decided to get legally married on the date we would’ve gotten married this year and have the formal ceremony and reception next year on the same date.
