Should i consider canceling my wedding?

I wouldn’t your wedding is ALL the way in November!!!!
My wedding January 2021 and we are not!
Gods willing we claiming her will NOT have to for he is BIGGER than this Virus !

I'm in a similar boat (kinda a destination wedding), but mine is in July. Currently, I'm not planning to reschedule. We're going to wait and see what happens closer to, but we also already had all our vendor appointments done just before all this went to hell in a handbasket.

We're hoping to be able to postpone and keep all our vendors/deposits if it comes to that. We'll go to the courthouse or have a friend officiate on our intended date, and then have a party to celebrate with everyone next year instead.

I would suggest seeing if your vendors can do virtual meetings instead in the mean time so you can keep planning moving forward.

I think you could wait it out some more. I do understand how hard it might be to plan during this time but maybe wait some more

I Think You Should Continue Planning As Normal And Don't Stress Until You Have Too, But Have A Backup Plan In Case Things Aren't Back To Normal By Then. I Think It'll Be Okay Soon.

I’m hoping this is over soon. Mine in August I been thinking about canceling it but it’s the only thing I’m looking forward too. So November wedding I wouldn’t cancel. Just make sure you talk about moving to all the vendors and venue. So you know if it’s ok with them/ no losing money

Definitely keep planning.

China is recovering and they we're able to be as preventive as we are. It will get worse before it gets better here but I think you're safe.

Mine is in October. I'm not planning on cancelling right now. The news mentioned the latest date this all should end is around August. I'm hoping it goes away next month. China is already starting to ho back to normal. I'm hoping we will too.

I think you should definitely hold off on canceling. I’m October and I’m still optimistic that this will all be over by summer.

I'm in August. We are not making any changes at this point.

I think you should hold off on canceling since their is plenty of time between now and then. Just consider having a back up plan in case things get worse and closer to the date. Mine is in July and we are having a back up plan for now.

My wedding is September 26th and we are not cancelling. I'm positive this will all be over by June at the latest!

I would say keep planning with your vendors for now since we don't have a set timeline this will be over. Make sure that before you hire anyone, the contract says something about the virus outbreak and that they are flexible for changing your date if needed. That way in case you have to postpone your wedding, your vendors can't deny you that. Honestly, you can't really listen to anyone on here when they say they're 100% sure it'll be over my xyz date. That's ridiculous. We don't know right now. China is also a different situation. In China they can kill and torture their citizens to keep everyone safe. People in the US can't be controlled like that of course (and I don't agree with those methods). People just do what they want and think they are experts. Don't stress I think, but make sure your vendors are flexible before booking them and keep a back up date of next year in mind just in case. I say, live somewhere balanced in the middle of being in panic and one of those selfish do nothing types. That's the best you can do! Don't stress but be responsible.

You still have time. Everything will be okay.

Mines in September and I wouldn’t cancel unless it’s looking like it isn’t getting better around June/July. We are still pretty far out

View Quoted Comment Hello!
My wedding is scheduled for July 17th, and we have the same mindset that you do. We are pressing forward and waiting this virus out, but if we end up needing to cancel, then we will go to the courthouse and get legally married. We will just throw a reception or party once the virus is over! Glad to see that we have similar mindsets and plans! God bless 💕

Hi Candyce! I wouldn't rush to reschedule a November wedding just yet. The current situation is changing so quickly, which is understandably making everyone super stressed, but you still have quite a bit of time to see how things develop before having to make that decision!

You should connect with Heather, another November bride who's expressing similar concerns here: November Wedding!

I would not cancel yet, but I would keep it as a real possibility and think about what you could do instead of your current plans. For example, could you plan something with fewer people? Could you move to an outdoor space where folks can be more spread apart? Etc. But I wouldn't cancel it as of now.

I am right here with you, except I am having to sort this out sooner than since your date is November.

Our wedding is planned for June 13, 2020 and while that seems far enough out to not have to postpone - with all the uncertainty and information rapidly changing on a daily basis, I can't help but be overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. I've already had to cancel by bridal shower and am sure my bach is out of the question at this point too.

Here in CA, we have a "Shelter in Place" ordinance in effect through April 19th with the possibility to extend further to May if our situation here does not improve. Our venue has had to cancel and postpone weddings that were planned through April 19th. My heart ACHES for those couples.

Prior to the "Shelter in Place" ordinance taking place, our venue sent us an email stating that if we choose to move our date we will not be charged a "transfer free" but new dates are subject to new pricing if applicable. If we choose to push to 2021 then we will incur their 2021 pricing which has greatly increased.

We are hoping late April will offer more clarity for the future of 2020. I personally hope that the stringent requirements will help slow the spread and allow us to continue our future weddings as planned.

I wouldn't take that risk, I can understand if your wedding was two months away, but you have over eight months till your big day! Even China is going back to normal, so I would honestly say that by November, this virus will be old news (hopefully).
