Covid-19 and Wedding

My guest count is about the same are u still planning on having it ? Another option i had was transition to a nicer venue and only invite 50 people

Our wedding day is 6.6.20 and I am starting to worry a little bit. Praying all of this is blown over by then. We are from the Dallas metroplex, but luckily our venue is 45 minutes to an hour outside of the metroplex. The county the venue is in has had 0 confirmed cases of COVID-19....so far. 95% of our guests will not need to fly to attend our wedding, so we are hoping that guests will still come if we don't have to cancel.

We are 4/3. We are postponing for the health and saftey of everyone including venue staff. Good luck with whatever you choose to do!

My wedding is 6/27/2020 and we (I am) are just not sure what to do at this point. Most of our guests will be traveling in and we will be having atleast 100 people. I’m strongly considering postponing or just having a reception/vow renewal and getting married with immediate family at this point.

We rescheduled ours until next year 😩 my MOH is in the military and told me she couldn’t come to our original date..(May 9th) so we had to change it. And we have 11 on both sides... so I felt like it wasn’t fair to make people still have to travel through this...

Ahh! I feel you, my wedding was supposed to be on April 17th and my venue had to postpone it. Lucky they had dates open in June for us. We also postponed our honeymoon. I am so sorry!! I hope all works out!

I feel your frustration. Our date is April 24th and I'm uncertain at this point also. Our venue is closed for the next two weeks. If you haven't done so already reach out to your venue. I'm praying that everything will work out for the good. Be encouraged and try not to stress yourself out. What will be...will be!

My wedding is also March 29th and I’m in Florida! I’m just holding my breath at this point. No one has canceled and said that they won’t unless they government forces them.

View Quoted Comment Hello, I’m getting married this Saturday. I’ve postponed my wedding reception to next year for our one year anniversary. My caterer and other vendors are willing to postpone and transfer credit to the new date.


It’s been difficult but hang in there!

My wedding is May 16th and it is also local but I am also stressing out about what to do. I don't want to panick so soon and postpone but I don't want to wait till the last minute either.

My wedding is May 30th and I’m trying really hard to keep calm and remind myself that everything happens for a reason. I’ve been planning the wedding for 1 year and a half and I’m just not motivated now. I have my invitations ready to mail but I don’t know if I should anymore. Let’s just hope and pray that everything will be fine.

I too worry that my venue will cancel. If you call some places, they may work with you. The place I ordered my invitations from offered to reprint mine if I had to change the date. I'm glad they offered, but it's still very disappointing. A lot of time, money and hard work goes into a wedding.

I feel you, our wedding date is April 25th and today, we have finally decided to postpone it till end of October 😭😭. I have been very sad - a lot of people are postponing.
However, since your date is close and that your guests are local, you might be just fine

My wedding is in 3 days. March 21st. Our wedding was originally 120 we are currently at about 80 due to cancellations because of the virus. I have no idea if I should just go through with it and wait last minute and see if a manadatory ban is put place or whether to be proactive and just postpone now. Our honeymoon was supposed to be in Italy next week and we had to cancel that obviously. I just really dont want to cancel the wedding also. Any advice brides?!

I was planning for April 5th and we just postponed until November!! I am so devastated, but we have about 400 guests and some traveling from Europe ... with all that is going on there was no way we were going through with it on our original date. Thankfully, I was able to get ahead and RE-book everything without an additional cost!!!

View Quoted Comment Follow the CDC guidance and postpone. There may not be a mandatory ban, but there is a reason the CDC is asking for people to listen to what’s best for public health. We postponed, and it’s all ok!

Literaly just waiting ...

SF Bay Area. Spoke with my venue last Friday, everything was fine. Got the unfortunate news today from our venue that our 4.18.20 wedding has been postponed. We’re just processing. It’s definitely an emotional time trying to figure out our next moves. Please be gentle with yourselves during this time and allow time to be sad, frustrated, uncertain, etc.


💗 Still, I hope beyond hope that your weddings go as planned!! 💗

Or wedding was scheduled for March 28, 2020. We live in Washington and they just banned everything with 50+ people. All restaurants, bars, hair salons, schools, gyms, etc closed. We were forced to reschedule. We had 210 guests attending. I’m so sad, disappointed, and a bit discouraged. We’ve been planning for over a year. As soon as Gov. Inslee made the announcement, I immediately emailed and called all our vendors. None will do refunds. So I got a new date rescheduled ASAP! Announcement was made at 12:00pm yesterday, by 5pm yesterday I had a new date set. I requested an addendum from all vendors with our new date. We had to schedule a year out to make sure all vendors had the same date available and that this virus would likely be under control by then. Our new date is July 31, 2020. WE ARE STILL GETTING MARRIED ON THE 28TH OF THIS MONTH! We are NOT letting this virus ruin that. We are doing a small gathering of just our pastor, parents, siblings and some of the bridal party that can make it. We are doing a fb live video of the ceremony for everyone else to see. Our celebration in July next year will be a do-over/1 year renewal/we survived quarantine without divorcing party! We will do the whole ceremony & reception over.
Our honeymoon to Bora Bora is still up in the air. I’m checking daily for updates in Tahiti to make sure we will be allowed to get off the plane there. I’m praying it doesn’t get cancelled!

Let’s all take a deep breath. This is very sad and not something we ever imagined we’d have to deal with for our wedding days... but stressing and worrying won’t change anything. Stress lowers the immune system and that is opposite of what we all need right now. I know it isn’t easy, but try to find positives. We will move on. If you want to be married to your amazing, hunk of a fiancé....do it! You only need the two of you, a pastor and two witnesses. Then have one hell of a reception later once this has all gone away. It’s not what we imagined, but we have to make do with the hand we were dealt.
One more thing, if you need to reschedule with vendors...DO NOT WAIT! Their schedules are going to book up fast! Get your new date on their books ASAP! And have them send you an amendment to your contract with the new date.
Good luck all you fabulous brides!!!!!

We were 4/18 and I spent 2 years planning it. Then this happened and we couldn’t get another Saturday until December 5, 2020. The only other 2 were after thanksgiving or Christmas.


I’m jealous of everyone that got a summer date but I wanted to keep all our vendors and give the virus enough time to fade out if it ever does. And we didn’t want to burden people with Friday/Sunday.
If we can we’ll still elope on April 18th so I can justify leaving April 18th on everything I made (it’s a lot). But what a hole in my pocket this left plus we need to make new invitations since it’s so far out and new timelines for shorter daylight hours.I’m just overwhelmed, but my guests are relieved.
