Jazmin, on March 27, 2020 at 1:01 PM Posted in Planning 0 15
Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is okay and safe at home with this Coronavirus around the around the world. I live in California I’m getting married in August 15 I have my dress already church is paid and honeymoon but I don’t know if I should reschedule my wedding since this Coronavirus is still going on and we don’t really know when is it going to end. I’m really stuck in the middle I don’t know if should wait and see what happens or reschedule it until 2021? Any thoughts

    I wouldn’t make any drastic changes just yet since you have some time but I would definitely contact my venue and find out what options I have and see if they would put something on hold for you.

    We just postponed our April wedding to August, so I wouldn't worry right now. If we have to reschedule again, I'm giving someone all the vendor numbers/emails and having them do it for me. Way too stressful the first time. Smiley xd

    I wouldn't do something hasty as rescheduling just yet, the situation is changing so rapidly, so you never know what's going happening. I would suggest talking with your venue(s) and asking for their input.

    Many April and May wedding have been postponed to late summer like August. I think you're fine. My wedding date is June 20 and my backup date is August 7., which I will probably have to postpone to that date Smiley sad

    Hi Jazmin! I really hope August will be safe for you, but it is smart to be considering your options now just in case. Review your contracts, be communicative with your vendors, and maybe share some ideas with other August couples - August 2020 Brides, I need you!

    I agree with most of the replies here that you should just wait and see right now! I am a May bride and considering postponing to July, but I am not sure if that is far enough out. I hope that August will be fine!

    I think logistically you'll be fine for your wedding, but some of the planning aspects will be a hurdle. My wedding is scheduled for July 25, and I had postponed sending out invitations until my partner and I made a decision. Now I've waited too long and the print shop has shut down! And our venue is currently shut down, but I'm hopeful that it will open again by July. However our venue coordinator lost her job during this, so when it does open again, I have no idea who I'll work with and how that will go. I have my dress but I haven't done alterations yet. I ordered a pair of shoes online that took a month to deliver and they look horrible. I've ordered another pair now from DSW and it'll take 3 weeks to ship. I hope these are the right size, because I really need to start dress alterations!!

    So I think you're wedding will be fine to go forward, but be prepared that there will be some challenges to the planning process, and there are some elements that you maybe dreamed of for your wedding that won't be able to come together.

    My wedding is in August as well. It's way too soon to make any decisions about postponing in my opinion.

    I am in the same situation. Getting married on August 8th, and its so stressful. Honestly it is to early to tell, but as the days get closer I stress more. So I completely understand, I would put off making any decisions to postpone at this time. Re-evaluate closer to, but also talk with your vendors and see if they can work with you if you were to need to change the date. Best of luck!

    Hey,

    I would wait at least until the end of April just to see if the situation is getting better before making any drastic decisions. Good luck!

    Hi Jazmin,

    If it makes you feel better, I am August 28 (postponed from June 20) and we are not postponing as of now. Technically speaking our invites don't even have to go out until early-mid July if we are being really on top of things and like the other comments have said, it is five months away and this is changing so rapidly. I do think having a back up plan is excellent. No matter what we are getting legally married once we can go to the courthouse safely and if we do have to postpone again we will look at April 2021. I would say stay put for now though. Things are looking up and on the decline based on what I am reading and the next few weeks are going to be critical. I know it is tough and I feel it too, but surround yourself with people who are supportive and loving. Here for you!
