Corona 😔

July 11th here as well (California) and we’re moving forward as planned. Will be sending out invites at the end of this month. I think there are so many things up in the air that it’s far too early to make a decision about July. We won’t be making any decisions on postponing until June. We don’t know what restrictions there will be after May, so I think it would be premature to cancel or postpone our July date.

View Quoted Comment I think that’s what we will be doing too. My guest list is very large, so I’m thinking about cutting it down to immediate family/friends even if things do clear up by then. Just to be on the cautious side. So hard to decide this far out

Hi there! We decided to postpone our 7/25 wedding. We are in California and we just thought this was the best decision for us. Things may be better by July but we don’t want to take any chances. We also don’t want to rush about last minute things. Just decided on what works best for you guys! Are the vendors flexible with a date change?

View Quoted Comment I have reached out to them, but haven’t heard anything back just yet. I’m hoping they will be flexible with a possible Friday or Sunday wedding. Our venue books a year and a half out so I’m hoping they will be flexible.

I am getting married at Turning Stone September 19, 2020 and am hoping that life will be somewhat back to normal... I would wait and see, stop planning and hope it goes off- sounds like you’ve got it all set if it DOES! Good luck honey!

View Quoted Comment Hopefully they have a date that works for you guys if you do decide to postpone or just wait until the end of the month and see how it goes.

View Quoted Comment Thank you! Hope everything works out for you guys! Thankfully I have pretty much everything done, besides sending out invites and little decor things that need to be ordered. So I think we are going to just play it by ear when it gets to the end of the month.

Hey Ashley- We were originally scheduled for early June and decided to push to 7/11. Would have liked to push it a little further, but due to a scheduled move that's the latest we can push it. We are in Texas and have a 500 person guest list. We realize that anything can happen, but feel very optimistic at this point that things will carry on as planned and the vast majority of our guests are still on board! Most are thrilled to have something to look forward to this summer. It's hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel when we are going through such a bad few weeks (I panicked again just this morning), but things will get better soon! Most models show things peaking this month or early May and then dropping off by the end of May. Most models that updated today are also showing way fewer deaths than originally predicted, thankfully. My advice would be to enjoy the next couple of months as much as possible. Should something have to change, you can deal with it when it comes, but don't worry or cut your guest list at this point! I know some brides who pushed to the winter. At this point, that would make me more nervous than July just for the fact that it could start up again then. Best of luck to you!

View Quoted Comment Thanks Sarah!! Happy to know that I’m not the only one changing things just yet! I just worry that if I don’t keep planning and then things get better then I’m going to have to rush and get things in order. I’m not good under stress so I guess I would rather keep planning and then have to make changes if necessary. Hope everything works out for you guys!!

We're not altering our guest list at all (211 invited) but will probably anticipate a few more of our out of state guests not being able to make it at this point (which, if I'm honest, won't be too upsetting to me as it means we get to save money on catering!). Luckily, most of our planning is finished (I've been working on this wedding for 2 years and like to be ahead of the game), so really the only things left once everything opens up again will be fittings/alterations and a couple meetings with the DOC/caterer to get things settled.

We're are planning for July 18th ourselves (in OR) and are waiting and seeing at this point. We already have pretty much everything planned and done. Not planning to make the final call until late May or early June since things are still developing and changing. If need be, we plan to get married on our date, postpone the party however far out we need to in order to retain all our vendors and renew our vows whenever that new date is.

We are July 25th and I'm aware that things could go either way. We have not postponed but we will revisit how things look at the beginning of May. It truly does seem that the information we are receiving changes day to day, from more optimistic to less so and then back again. Everything is planned and I am continuing to do things like dress alterations and pay for accessories, etc. I'm forging ahead like the show will go on and if it doesn't, then we will just have to do our best to get everything moved to a new date.

I'm July 11th and am cautiously optimistic. Things are already improving and hopefully continue to do so. We still have about 3 months for things to get better.

We were July 11th as well and we rescheduled it until September 25th along with our honeymoon as well. Everyone has been so understanding and our venue and vendors have all been able to coordinate the date so we won’t lose any money. I would say if you can and it’s not too much of a hassle to move it. My venue had said I could get married with 10 people and have a reception later down the road but I just didn’t want my wedding day to be like that. I’m hoping we will be able to still get married in September that this will all be gone!! It’s been very stressful but as soon as we moved everything it’s been so much better!! Also I contacted the shops I bought things from on Etsy about changing the date and they gave me discount codes for like half off to reorder the stuff with dates on it. Everyone is very understanding right now! It went much smoother then I expected. I am from SD and they don’t say we will peak until June 14th so that freaked me out and I knew I had to change it. I wanted to wait it out but the more I thought about it I just knew that I couldn’t have everyone there that I wanted to be there.

I’m July 17th and also in the same boat not sure what to do my back up date is Aug 21st but don’t feel great about that either allll my decor items and gifts literally everything has my date on it and I don’t plan on changing it because either way we plan to get married on the 17th so it will still be our official date that we will always celebrate as our anniversary but I’m just not sure either if we should postpone the reception and if we postpone when to because everything is so up in the air and it doesn’t make me feel good that we aren’t getting a date as to when things will open up again we are def waiting until the end of the month to make a final decision but no matter what decision you make it will be the best one for you and no matter when we all have our days they will be beautiful so I know it’s hard because i really feel it too but we will get through it!!!
