Covid modifications?

Hi! We are supposed to get married on May 2,2021 in CT. Right now the maximum is 25 people indoors (that includes employees). I am struggling with what to do. We could probably cut the list to 75 (from 125), but so many unknowns. It is very stressful, I still have so much to do but haven’t been motivated with all of these unknowns. Anyone else getting married in Ct coming up?

We changed our date to September instead of June. It wasnt' an easy decision but we are keeping our colors and theme the same.. I just emailed the venue so hopefully I can have the date.. Cross your fingers for us... How about you?

View Quoted Comment Yes we were looking forward to March 😩 but it's not worth the risk to us. We are thinking about maybe pushing it to October and doing a 1 year vow renewal. We have also talked about doing it on New Year's Eve this year and bringing in the new year!

We were also thinking about going to a nice restaurant but the COVID restrictions make it impossible to know what will and won't be open by July 2021. If anything, we'll make steaks in the condo and eat them on the balconey overlooking the beach. But I definitely know that it has to be just the fiance, our pup, and I. No worries about making others enjoy our day...

View Quoted Comment We are trying to wait it out for now

June 26 in RI here.

We have a private ceremony planned at a private location (parents and siblings only) which is going to happen no matter what.

At this point, we also have a larger, outdoor reception planned for later in the day. I have two guest lists, a covid compliant one of under 100 people (the limit here in RI last summer for outdoor venues) and our dream guest list of 125. Only the covid compliant list got save the dates. I have a feeling that due to warmer weather in the North East, come May things will start to ease up as people are able to be outside more, just like they did in 2020. But things will probably get worse before they get better.

we are all waiting it out with you!

We were planning 6/19/21 but have now changed it to 9/25/21. Hoping by then most people will be vaccinated. If not we will have to downsize.

We decided to postpone until September. We ordered new Save the dates and will send those out as soon as we get them. We won't be changing the date again we will just downsize if we have to. Our theory is if we haven't spoken or seen them in a year then that is who we will cut off the list first. I know it sounds harsh but we have to start somewhere. Covid sucks!!!

I’m getting married in 25 days, we cut our guest list and notified everyone right around Christmas. So two months before. I should have done it sooner but I was honestly dreading it. We chose to have a small less than 20 person socially distanced ceremony, (family and wedding party only) with champagne toast. I will say I was super stressed about downsizing and hurting peoples feelings but we did not have any negative feedback. I know there were a few people who were upset about it, but they kept it to themselves.

View Quoted Comment This is what we did. Especially during covid, it literally HAS to be the people who are actively in your lives. We made tiers then made our way down the list based on these groups. Glad to see I’m not the only one!

Ours is June 2021, and we are rolling with it.

We are offering a Zoom link for anyone who isn't comfortable or able to come. I think that'll take some pressure off of folks who feel like they "have" to be there. At this time, we aren't downsizing. I've invited 140, but some of those are just courtesy invites. For example, I don't realistically think his grandparents from Las Vegas would come out for a Sunday wedding North Carolina — even if there wasn't a pandemic. I think I'll have a solid 100 guests for my outdoor wedding.

However, I have made a list of 50 guests should I have to downsize. In North Carolina, religious ceremonies like funerals and weddings are exempt from the indoor gathering limit. I probably won't have to downsize, but if cases aren't going down, I will.

Otherwise, we'll be sending out reminders for guests to consider their health and the health of others. A list of safety precautions:

Please kindly:

1. Wear a mask when on the dance floor and when socializing with guests that are not members of your household/social bubble

2. Maintain a 6ft social distance

3. Wash/sanitize hands often

View Quoted Comment My daughter has been struggling as well, her date is April 24, 2021 venue booked in 2019. She had 130 on her invite list cousins, Grandma and aunts and uncles live out of state, Pennsylvania and NC. Our Venue the Ritz cut the list in half in july 2020. We now can have 68 .We had two invitations made one invite and one covid letter virtual invite and was waiting until last week to see if the number would change but they have not. So we put them all together with the covid virtual letter. You have to have decide and pray the rest will understand. Wishing all a beautiful wedding day with peace of mind❤️And fun In your planning.

We are postponed from last year so we are going forward. We have cut our guest list to 75. We are hoping restrictions to loosen enough so we can have dancing.
