We had to cut our guest list almost in half due to the restrictions the church has for the ceremony (100 limit) but we were able to invite more to the reception (150 limit)

    We haven’t had to worry to much about it. We invited less than 50 people and we have an open field where people can spread out if they desire to.

    Jenisse- I totally understand that. We told each other if it got too difficult, we'd reschedule for next year. But everything has been going so well, we're so relieved. I'm extremely grateful for our venue, they've made it so easy for us. I'm sorry you had to reschedule and that it was so stressful.

    My wedding as well is on the 14th. We’ve cut our guest count in half and reserving the ceremony for family and close friends. We are still have a reception with those attending ceremony and planning to have a bigger celebration for a reception in the summer.
    We are providing hand sanitizers and masks for our wedding.

    Congratulations! And best of luck moving forward !❤️

    Hello hello!!! November 7th which seems like a lot of you ladies are getting married on this day! When I saw this chat tears were brought to my eyes. They say a bride should be very excited the last few months of her wedding, but sadly that has not been the case for me. I have gone to bed so many nights crying my eyes out because I was so torn on having our wedding or not. I have several conversations with a few grandparents and close family members who feel horrible not being able to attend our wedding. My dad, has been very upset with me about our plans to still have our wedding as he has been very scared about the virus. I have thankfully planned my whole wedding and have pretty much done everything myself...I wish I was able to hire a planner but with the cost we decided to go with just a day-of coordinator.


    So, we plan on having our wedding at a huge barn in the country. There is a beautiful place to have the ceremony outside (which we are hoping for good weather since we live in Missouri) and then have the reception inside. We have distanced people and kept everyone in their own groups inside and have decided to provide makes and suggest they wear them unless eating or drinking. There’s about 80 people who have RSVPd which kinda of makes me nervous, but hoping with everything we have done it will be as safe as possible. I love reading about what everyone is doing..these comments have made me feel so much better and given me hope ❤️

    My wedding is the 11of nov and I’m so ready I had to cut people from my list and I’m nervous. I have a question . My in laws are trying so hard to talk me out of it and my fiancé is tired of getting told there coming then not. I love him so and I want to have some kind of relationship with them but I hate drama especially this close to our wedding. How do I tell them to quit or don’t show without being mean

    Getting married on 11/21 in NJ! We are expecting about 40 guests and everything will be indoors. Started to get a bit anxious with cases rising and flu season upon us. I’m considering asking guests to get covid tested before the wedding as our parents are older and are higher risk and we also have family traveling from other states. Anyone else asking guests to get tested?

    We have gone through this with my FMIL because was wasn’t happy that we had to cut people off of the list and unfortunately those people were some of her friends. She keeps telling us if they’re not going then she’s not going. My FH had to have a sit down talk with both of his parents and tell them that it’s unneeded stress and that our day will continue with or without them although we’d rather it be with them! We ultimately gave them until the end of day to tell us a yes or no and that was going to be their final choice! It’s hard but i think you’ll feel better and they may appreciate you stepping up and setting a boundary with your day! Good luck with your talk and your special day!

    We got married this last Sunday, 11/01!

    We ended up cutting our entire guest list to 15 people (just immediate family and 1 attendant each). Due to work conflicts and sickness, that guest list dropped to 10 plus the 2 of us. Not my ideal, but honestly it just made telling people they couldn't attend SO much easier due to COVID restrictions, and everyone got to watch the Livestream I set up.

    I had purchased masks for everyone to wear that said "Spread Love Not Germs", and our venue told us masks were optional during photos since the venue owner was also our photographer. Everything was outside, so that helped....some guests wore them, some not. Our brunch venue (we did a brunch reception!) let us take masks off once we were seated at our tables.

    Katherine,
    Same wedding day buddies here. I’m in MI and our wedding was 40 people outdoor/indoor. We actually are considering cutting the guest list in half and having just our parents and siblings. We have already had some of our guest reach out to us saying they felt uncomfortable and a couple tell us they are getting tested this week because they are ill. I know we are only a week away but I think we are changing plans once again.

    As of now we're still at our guest count of 150. Guests are required to wear masks. We're also having personalized masks as favors.

    Well ladies and gents, our wedding was just cancelled by our venue. Scheduled for 11/28. Yes, 11/28! I then called cake, photographer, hair-make up, flowers, and all other vendors. I got ahold of our officiant and was able to have him agree to do our now ten person wedding outside at the town Christmas tree that was put up a few weeks ago. Later in the day, he emailed and said he is not going to do that because he is uncomfortable.

    Our governor said we are not permitted to have any gatherings (indoors or outside) with more than one household...

    I have a call out to another officiant to assist us. This has been such a stressful time. We went from a huge wedding, to thirty people inside, then ten outside. I'm not even sure this will go ahead. I'm in Vermont, so it is snowing and cold outside, but I am determined to marry this man. We are middle aged and our parents are elderly (we worry about their age and waiting another year), so outside, socially distanced seemed like the perfect option (for Covid, anyway).

    My fingers are crossed that this new officiant option will work out and the weather will not snow on us too hard for 15 minutes outside to do our vows.
