Postponing to December 2020- Thoughts?

Hi COVID-19 Brides! :,(


Wanted to get some input from those of you pushing back your weddings. FH and I are marrying in a micro-wedding with our parents and siblings on our original date, which was June 12th. We are looking at dates to push our big celebration to, and December 12th is one that all of our vendors are open on! We are wondering if that is a "safe" date to push to, considering the unprecedented events and the fact that nobody truly knows what will happen in the coming several months. Our other option would be to push our big celebration to June of 2021, on our one-year anniversary.


What do you all think? Would you feel safe postponing to December, or would you go ahead and push to 2021? All of this sucks. It's really hard to deal with the emotional side of it and make realistic decisions at the same time. At least we're all in this together. Smiley smile

    I think by December you should be ok but I guess you have to decide if you prefer a winter or summer wedding or if that even matters to you. Sorry you have to deal with this but try to focus on positive things. Good luck.

    The best way to put it is, it depends. If you're having a 100+ wedding, I would wait a year just to be super safe. If you're having a 50 person wedding, then you should be good! It will also depend on the state you're in. We still feel pretty good about our wedding in August, but huge weddings may just have to wait a year to be on the safe side. At the end of the day it's your call, and I guess its how long you want to be in the waiting to be married limbo. Personally, I want to move on more than I care for a huge event to commemorate, so we'll probably have our date as we can and be done with "weddings".

    Hi Renee,

    I love the idea of having a micro-wedding and then a larger reception at a later date. As far as December goes, it's really hard to say if we will be in a good place by then.

    So it's okay to be nervous or worried at times. You certainly are not alone. We are seeing a mix of couples postponing to late in 2020 and those moving their date to 2021, it's really about which choice will make you feel most comfortable and at peace. Is there one you're leaning more towards?

    And if you do choose to go with the December date, here's a recent discussion with other December brides: Wedding is December 2020. Should we consider cancelling?

    I hope this helps!

    Smiley heart
