Rescheduled Events

Amanda, on June 13, 2020 at 7:21 AM Posted in Parties and Events 0 9

Covid Bride #373980491718399048 here!!!

We postponed our Wedding to December 12th, 2020 and my MOH and FMIL would like to reschedule my Bachelorette party and Bridal Shower. We want to give Covid as much time as possible and we live on the east coast so thing's are opening up rapidly. Neither of these events are "required" by any means for any of my bridal party, but we are looking at having Bachelorette party November 6th-8th (winery weekend with Air BNB in the country) and Bridal Shower November 14th in Chicago (area).

Given everything is opening and allowing functions, do y'all think back to back events like this will be ok? We don't want to go to close to wedding date as that will be the big event for everyone in terms of traveling/schedules but we also don't want to gamble with Covid too early either.

My Bachelorette weekend will be local (Northern VA where the majority of us live), Bridal Shower in Chicago and Wedding a month(ish) later in NC. Keep in mind, we all work for the airlines so airfare isn't an expense for any of us and we have all been working during the pandemic so travel in general is also a non-issue. I'm just mainly concerned that all the events will be too much for people to handle so close together, but given the circumstances, I feel like most would be able to work it out.

I am also paying for everything wedding weekend for Bridal party, food, booze, accommodations, hair, etc. Bachelorette expenses according to MOH will be less than $300 per person, also all inclusive.

    Hey date twin!
    I don’t know what it is like where you live re restrictions (on the other side of the world!) but I would check with local government advice to see how things are poised.
    Your dates sound fine to me, I’ll be doing my shower and bachelorette around the same time, but where I live we have almost fully returned to normalcy with everyday things. Good luck!

    YAY Date twins!!!

    I'm glad you are having events around the same time, with the Thanksgiving Holiday later in the month, I wanted to give everyone time for work and family. Thing's are getting closer to normal and all of my flights lately have been full so it at least gives the illusion of being normal that's for sure! I honestly feel confident about our wedding date, if we need to, we can cut our guest list down to 100 or less but we honestly will end up with less than 150 regardless. How are things going for you?

    In Australia where we are, we are currently allowed weddings with 20 guests (in addition to the bride and groom, celebrant etc). Based on current government advice our venue has told us that weddings from September onward will be proceeding ahead as normal so I think they’ll soon be increasing the limits and I think we might just be in the clear regarding our numbers.


    We have just under 150 we plan to invite but we will be giving out invitations in September (I want people to RSVP by 1 November) so we will monitor government advice until then and see how many we need to cut from the list, if at all, before issuing invitations.

    I think go for it! Even if there isn’t a vaccine yet, the cooler temperatures of the fall months will slow everything down. If you’re worried about people having to travel too much, of course they have the option to say no just let them know that you understand if it’s a lot of events to participate in but you’d love to have them there.

    Yes. I’d be shocked if you had a problem in November or December, its so far away. Especially in Virginia where everything is almost open, its even worse in the NJ/Ny/PA area

    It sounds like based on your knowledge of your guests, the dates should probably work for them. The only other consideration is that Nov is also Thanksgiving, so that's potentially 3 of 4 weekends in the month with potential commitments for guests. But, toward the end of the year, there is always a lot going on, so you probably just have to go with whatever works and understand if guests can't attend.
