October 2020- Are you postponing?

We are in Colorado and currently set for a 10/24 wedding, continuing to plan as original. I've already booked all of our vendors and we are just keeping our fingers crossed.

Our invite list was at 157 and original number expected is around 135, so we should be okay if gatherings of up to 150 are allowed at that time. We have accepted that some people may not be able to attend due to travel restrictions (we have some international folks invited), personal choice, etc. But we think it's too early to postpone because of how rapidly things change; we look at where life was on March 4, just two months ago, and don't want to try to guess at what life will be like almost 6 months ago.

I really don't want to have to postpone. We will probably elope/get legally married on our date if there are still restrictions, and we may not have a reception or party if that is the case... Maybe an anniversary party, but I really don't want to have to handle the stress of rescheduling everything, especially because we have a different ceremony and reception venue.

Our wedding was scheduled for 10.10.2020 and we decided to push it back to 2021. Just because states are opening up doesn’t mean we’ll be able to gather in groups of 100+. We also want our guests to feel safe traveling and staying in hotels. It was the right decision for us and we are at peace with it.

My fiancé and I are still going forward and playing it by ear. Our wedding date is October 16, 2020. We have family coming from Georgia, Florida, Maryland and New York City. It’s nerve wrecking but we are remaining positive and hopefully move forward with our wedding date. If things does not progress by July- August then we would consider postponing our wedding.

10/10 wedding in washington DC area. we are waiting it out with our venue. right now they've cancelled all events through the end of july. we decided not to postpone if we can't have the wedding on 10/10- we will probably just have a mini ceremony at home & then pack up my dress and go to hawaii & find a photographer out there! what is everyone doing about invitations?? I don't want to spend money on them if we can't have the wedding/ also need to know how many guests because I don't want people getting mad that they got an invitation and then we have to reduce the guest count.....

Hi


I'm October 25th. I have not postponed and will continue to plan. I'm keeping positive and am hopeful we will be okay. We will reevaluate in July/aug.

View Quoted Comment I wouldn’t purchase invitations until the beginning of August to mid-August. Play it by ear and hopefully you can still have your wedding but with limited seating. If you purchase wedding invitations early assuming you can have a massive amount of guest it will just be a waste of money. Good luck and remain positive!!. I’m in the same boat and my anxiety is at a all time high!

Postponed my New York October wedding to 2021.

Too risky for all of my out of town guests!

Hi there!

Oct. 3rd in CA- Looking to postpone because there is just so much uncertainty with what the fall will bring and what the restrictions will be but been getting pushback from our venue saying its too soon and that we need to wait in order to postpone.

Date is 10/16/20 in Upstate NY. Not postponing at this point, hanging tight ✊🏻

October 3rd, 2020 in south Florida. As of right now we have not decided to postpone . I continue to plan for that date . My FH and I decided if we can’t have the big wedding of 180 guest we will have to post pone due to having already sent out save the dates before covid happened . We really don’t know how we would just disinvite some of our guest. Just praying for the best

We're still holding out for 10/24 in Los Angeles. I was feeling pretty good about it since our venue is outdoors and we're expecting less than 100 guests. We were going to order invitations this weekend but I'm feeling too uncertain and anxious. I'm so afraid people will feel obligated to come but not feel safe. We have had everything already booked since before COVID and I'm just.... ready to be married! Love to all of you struggling with these same dilemmas ❤️

Right now, we are also holding out hope for our October wedding in NJ. We are planning to get married no matter what, but aren't sure whether to move the bigger reception or wait to see where the guidelines net out.

For those who are planning to keep their October weddings - reception and all - have your venues communicated some of the adjustments they will have to make based on COVID?

Do you think a social distanced reception with masks, etc. is still worth having?? Are there creative ways to make it just as fun and special as the original plan?

I'm really struggling with what to do, and want to decide by August for my own sanity (knowing it may change based on guidelines)!!

View Quoted Comment I talked to my venue on Friday to discuss what CDC guidelines we may need to follow. They do not have any Information as of yet. My wedding is 10/16 but I think we will have guidelines as far as wearing mask in the reception area. They told me to wait until August and if my fiancé and I still feel uncomfortable with keeping the date then we will change te it to spring of 2021. We have every vendor booked but I still do not have a dress and other small details. I’m hoping we do not have to postpone but I also have a lot of out of town guest who do not feel comfortable coming due to Covid-19. My anxiety is through the roof, I hope you don’t have to move your date.

That's our date! We are NOT postponing. Our venue has been hosting weddings since early spring. Its in a rural area and outdoors, so that helps. We only invited 125 or so people so not a large wedding (most of them are family). If we cant have it here were doing it in someones backyard.

Which state are you in? We're October 24 in Pittsburgh, PA. We're currently in the "green", but are waiting until July / August just to see how cases are looking. Plus, most of our guests are coming from out of state / UK, so we're a little concerned about everybody having to travel!

View Quoted Comment Not postponing either! also in ny

We have more or less decided to move forward with a smaller wedding on 10/24. But I can't stop stressing out about it.

View Quoted Comment We’re in NC but most are coming in from out of state too. Our guests are coming from out of state as well (mostly driving) , they’ll just use their masks when traveling.

10/11/20. We decided to postpone to 10/10/21. It all really comes down to if a couple is willing to make sacrifices for a COVID wedding, or do they want to have the wedding they originally envisioned? We decided the latter. I do not want my photos ruined with face masks (sorry but they are not cute lol) and I don't want half of our guest list to not show up. It is important to us for everyone to be there. So it just seemed like the right thing to do to move it. Plus we could go into another stay at home order by then, and with so much uncertainty, its making a wedding impossible to plan. We'll get legally married this year, and celebrate next year!

Cool! You are getting married on my bday. Our wedding will be October 10th and we are keeping it. We have plans A, B & C for our wedding, depending on COVID regulations. Currently, they lifted all wedding regulations, but we are still trying to take precautions to keep people safe
