Please give me ideas!! Thanks 😊

    Wedding in Santa Cruz, CA with 125 guests, most coming from out of town. We just postponed from Oct 3, 2020 to Oct 16, 2021. It wasn't worth the risk for us.

    We are 8/22 in Ohio and got the to go from our venue a few weeks ago. Capacity is at 50% which is 80 people and our full guest list is 96. We invited the full 96 expecting declines. We have very few out of state guests. So far 1/3 of our Rsvps are in with no declines. I’m sure we will have declines, but I think some people are waiting it out. The only out of state guest is my mom who already bought her plane ticket. So far it’s going well. Fingers crossed and good luck to you!

    Our wedding is on 9/5/2020. My fiancé and I made the decision back in April to postpone our larger ceremony and reception to 9/4/2021, with the hope that a vaccine will be widely available by that time.


    Meanwhile, my fiancé and I are still getting legally married on 9/5 this year, and will only have both sets of parents and my sister attending, along with the officiant and photographer, for a total of nine people. For us, we don’t believe it’s worth the risk. Was I frustrated, upset, and emotional because our plans got derailed? Yes. Am I still excited to be married to the love of my life, even though we can’t hold our reception until a year later? Absolutely.

    We're getting married on August 8th in Massachusetts. We postponed the big reception to 2021. Only our immediate families and officiant will be with us for the ceremony this year.
    We're still wearing our planned outfits and having flowers and hopefully a photographer. For catering, we're doing heavy appetizers in attractive individual containers and then an ice cream truck for dessert. We're renting small tables so we can have only 2 or 3 people at each table. I made masks for everyone and we'll probably get a small bottle of hand sanitizer for each person. I don't even know if we're going to send out invitations this time, but we did send new save the date magnets to everyone who got one with the original date.

    Illinois wedding for August 21st. We found out today that if we hit Phase 4 on Friday June 26th, we could have an event with up to 50 people or 50% capacity of the room. We are going to call the banquet hall tomorrow and see if there is a chance we can upgrade to a bigger room (we are the only event they are having that evening). As far as relatives coming in from out of town, my entire family lives all over the US and all of them are perfectly fine with traveling. My fiance also has relatives in a different state that are coming in and have no issues with the travel aspect. Fingers crossed that they allow dance floors to be open by August. I wish you the best of luck on your planning!!

    My wedding is August 2 in Massachusetts, postponed from June. I am still going on as planned and waiting for word on our phases. Our venue is still closed for weddings right now but I am waiting till July for them to make the final call. If we have to wear masks or can’t dance I will for sure postpone. As far as honeymoon goes we’re going to Aruba and can travel there as long we have a negative covid test(stinks but better safe than sorry I guess).

    Our date is September 3rd 2020. We are in Minnesota and our venue is indoors. Most or the people on our guest list are family. We had 150 guests on our list but we cut it down to 100. We are going with our original plans and if by September and the govoner says we can't have groups again, we will still be at our venue but with just immediate family. We are also making everybody wear a mask to protect high risk people we want there like my dad. I think having pictures with people wearing masks will be a good thing to document for future generations. I know it's not ideal but I think people in the future should know what we had to do in order to get married during this time.

    Hello! Our wedding is September 27th in CA and we’re moving along as planned. Our venue has opened and will be having weddings again in July. I plan on sending out my wedding invitations late July or early August. I’m excited as places are opening up now and hoping for the best by the time our wedding date comes around =)

    September 19, 2020 is our date...made guest contact about a week ago and majority were still excited and said they'd come, but we don't want to have only 3 to 4 people to a table and we don't want to wear masks which will be required at my venue. Our city made it to phase 2 and then retracted it 2 days later so we decided to push it back 6 months.
