My fiance and I got engaged in March, right before things really hit the fan. At first we thought we'd have the engagement party in May, but that quickly became October. Traditionally, the engagement party is within three months, but these are unusual times. I think people will understand why we waited until the fall to celebrate, but what if a second wave hits? I'm getting less confident that we can expect an October 2020 engagement party to happen, and it seems silly to throw an engagement party any later than that.
Newly engaged people: What are you doing? Are you still having an engagement party, and if so, what do you have in mind? How are you preparing for the possibility of cancellation amid a continued public health crisis?
