I have officially postponed our wedding from 6/13 to 8/29. Not a bad leap but it had to be done. Stay safe everyone

Hi! My wedding is June 5th. So far, I had to cancel my bridal shower and bachlorette. I am suppose to be going for my bridal gown fitting in a few weeks but the shop is closed. My wedding is in Brooklyn , N.Y. As of now we have not postponed. Still waiting. New York has been hit really bad with COVID. I hope all will be ok soon

We’re also on June 6th! Right now we’ve reached out to the hotel and they still plan on moving forward with the event; but we have discussed any available dates for this year that we could postpone it to, just in case. We asked for a temporary hold and if they had any other couples with interest on that date then we’d make a decision on it within 72 hours. Now that we’ve chosen a backup date we have to reach out to our vendors to see if they have that date available too. 😔


It’s such a hard decision since everything is about done. I hope this thing will start getting better by the end of April..
Good luck with everything!

We are June 20th! We haven’t made any official announcements- we’re waiting until May 17th (this is the date being thrown around in Missouri to wait for) However, as of now we are planning on just having our siblings and parents in attendance. (Original number was 375+) and everyone else will be invited to celebrate with us for a giant reception in the fall where the rest of our wedding party will gather before hand and take pictures and do the normal pre-wedding day activities! I have canceled all my bridal showers and bachelorette party as it’s not allowed to have more than 5 people together here I’m still staying positive and hopeful but decided it was time to start thinking practically and to form a plan B!

We were also a June 6th Wedding but after much debate and some tears we have decided to reschedule. Our new date is September 18, 2020, not sure about a Friday evening wedding but that was one of the only dates that all of my vendors could reschedule to. All of our vendors have been very understanding and accommodating. I am also in Missouri and being told that the peak for the outbreak will not hit us until around the middle of May. Its a second wedding for us both so we were willing to reschedule so our friends and family could be there without concern for their well being. I sympathize with every bride having to make these hard decisions during this horrible time.

I am sorry you and many of us are going through this. We were supposed to be married 5/30/2020, and rescheduled for end of August. I am a healthcare professional, and, I hate to say this, but this will not be over by your wedding date. Even if shelter in place is loosened, social distancing will need to continue. Cases will still be coming in, and, just my personal opinion, I didn’t feel it would be responsible to have our wedding end of May, even if we’re seeing improvement. I am a little concerned even about end of August. I had to cancel bachelorette and shower, as well. Honestly, so stressed about moving everything, I am holding off on even rescheduling bachelorette and shower, as I currently don’t even have time to think about it.


The bright side? Our vendors were beyond accommodating, and many were able to move to the new date without losing deposits, etc. Will it be EXACTLY what I wanted? Maybe not, but at least people will be safe. I would not compromise the health of my guests just to love forward with the original date- plus who wants to have a wedding where everyone is taking about this awful virus?! I felt really relieved when we rescheduled , all things considered! Good luck!

We are scheduled for June 6 in NC. We will be getting married that day regardless! My fiancé and I decided we will still have the reception even if we are limited to 50 people. We will just have close friends and family. If gatherings are still limited to 10 people come June, we will either cancel the reception or we have a backup date...but it will be next year in June. Kinda like an anniversary celebration! We will decide closer to time. Most of our vendors are refunding us our money, some are even refunding our deposits!

Updating:
We were waiting for a bit — and we were hopeful but ended up postponing to Oct 3 two weeks ago. Thankfully 90% of our vendors had that day available and we just rolled our dates over. We just have a lot of family that would have to travel, and there are a lot of little things (decorations -picture frames/ seating chart) that we haven’t had the opportunity to go shop for, & I was nervous about dress alterations for me and bridesmaids, and tux fittings for groomsmen/ and just didn’t know if 1 month of prep would be enough that’s if the shelter in place isn’t extended.

I was sad but felt relieved once we finally made the switch. Update on Honeymoon: we looked at Iberia’s website (Flights to Europe) and it looks like we can get a voucher that is good until June 2021. Still haven’t heard from the hotels but they have more to worry about than reservation cancellations.
Wishing everyone the best of luck! ❤️

View Quoted Comment I postponed my wedding november 27th, 2020 until next year. If you cant afford your payments, then think about the people who may not be able to afford going to your wedding. Paying for hotel rooms, wedding gifts to you, gas to drive there. Also think about the other payments you might of forgot. Tips to the venue staff, entertainment etc. Paying for hair, makeup nails etc. Your venue is not canceling or postponing for you because they want your money. You have to call them and talk to them. My venue transferred the amount I already paid them to a new date. Please dont stress yourself out. Give yourself more time.

Our day was also June 6, 2020. We have postponed to May 30, 2021. Our venue and vendors have been wonderful with the postponement. We decided to steer clear for the rest of the year as we have 300+ guests invited. Although restrictions may be lifted by June 6, I was so worried about putting that many near and dear people at risk. It was a personal preference, but we decided it was best for everyone involved. We have 5 people in our immediate family that are at a higher health risk with COVID-19. With that being said, we don't know the medical condition of all of our guests and we would hate to put them in a difficult situation. We want to spend our special day just as we picture it.

We are sending out "Save The New Date" cards. I have attached a photo of them to give an example for wording/ideas.

Best of luck to all of you! I have to say, I feel 100x better now that we made the decision to postpone. No more worrying! Even if it's almost a year later, in the end we will still be married. On the bright-side...we gave another year to plan!

June 6 here! Everything is still booked and we are planning full force. I reached out to my vendors to ask for an update and everything is still on track.


We had my extremely shrunk down shower on Sunday 4/5/20. It was only my parents, fiancé and one of my brothers, all healthy, that were together. His parents bailed at the last minute so that sucked but it was still a great day. My parents surprised us by having some family/ friends in the area come to our neighborhood and give us a drive by parade. It was the sweetest thing and so cool! I loved it so much!! We also went live on Facebook in a smaller group because not everyone was invited to the shower and didn’t want to offend anyone. It was a wonderful day! Our other shower (his family) is end of April so we’re waiting to see if that will be happening.
I know that a lot of people will be hesitant to RSVP and come to the wedding but I’m hopeful that our plans will still play out but I am aware that it might not and I’m learning to be okay with it. If we can’t use our venues we will have a sweet backyard wedding with bridal party and immediate family.
I’m hopeful and staying positive!

Hey Alexis,

Same my date is June 6th I have my finger cross that it will be just the perfect time for everyone to come out and celebrate. My bridal shower has been rescheduled and will probably be rescheduled again and my batch is in May so I have no idea what that will be like. This is crazy but I have faith!

Finger cross ,Lexi

LA county just extended their stay at home order to May 15th on Friday. With the extension being 3 weeks before the big day, we made the decision to postpone our wedding to 12/5 just for everyone's safety. So far most of our vendors are available, only waiting on a few more. Fingers crossed!

Staying hopeful for everyone else

We just made the decision to move our June wedding to October. I’m actually amazed, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders now that we actually decided. Now I’m just hoping we don’t have to postpone again! Good luck to everyone!!

Originally had our wedding scheduled for June 7th and decided to postpone until September. Unfortunately we lost our photographer as they had no available weekends for the fall. So far struggling to find a replacement available in our price range. Otherwise moving the date was the right choice for us. We would've been stressing for many more weeks if not not to mention concerned we could spread this virus to family if we kept the same date. If it's causing a lot of stress may be worth moving. Best of luck to everyone!

View Quoted Comment I moved my daughters wedding shower from April 26 to June 6th of 30 people shoud I move on with this date? Will it be possible?

My daughter wedding shower was April 6th.I changed it to June 6th 30 people will this happen for her or not? Allso her wedding is July 18th will that happen?

View Quoted Comment It depends on where you live. For a bridal shower I would give it a couple weeks before the date before deciding. It’s also a good decision to maybe create a Facebook group to give updates to everyone so you won’t have to call/send anything via mail to the guests of the shower. We haven’t cancelled our wedding yet, although we have picked a reserved back up date Incase we need to. I’m hoping we will be lifted some restrictions at the beginning of June so you can have a bridal shower! We are most likely going to have a smaller ceremony that day as they probably won’t allow large gatherings (like a wedding of 150) at that time. Good luck!!

I am sorry for you as well I understand.Going through this changed my daughters shower hopping I don't have to change it.Or her wedding July 18th.And are people going to come? I HOPE SO
