What has covid changed in your wedding plans?

Posted in Planning 160

I have went complete 360 on planning due to COVID. I feel like I’m starting all over since I have changed so much. I’m curious to hear how much if anything at all has changed for you gals.... ?

    I am considering going international as well. I think I will officially decide in the winter once I see how things go with Covid and the expected second wave. I don’t want to get my hopes up again and have to consider change plans from the beginning for a second time. Best last resort is eloping and having a big party with family and close friend next year if the world permits it. Best of wishes ❤️

    Thank youuuu 😊❤️ Your baby will receive many compliments for the name! I love it as well!!!


    I am also a big fan of buffets and carving stations as well (it’s everyone’s favorite part after the ceremony beside open bar lol). I hope all of your plans continue to come into fruition for the better! Best of wishes to you ❤️

    I’m actually DIYing a lot more than I originally planned, but that’s because I have more time since I can’t do anywhere or do anything.

    Here are some signs. I took half inch plywood and stained it. I didn’t seal them with anything, but I heard you could.

    Cheap beer koozies bought on amazon,. Then bought HTV when it was on sale at Michaels. The middle one is the back to them all. What has covid changed in your wedding plans? 7
    I bought blankets from IKea for cheap and ironed on this design. Will eventually wrap in ribbon.
    (just FYI I’m doing hidden Mickeys at my wedding, so don’t mind those 😂)

    Thank you! It really gives me some perspective and what is important. We will all get through this and be better on the other side.

    I am much more interested in a smaller wedding. My FH has never had a wedding (his previous was JP) and he wants his uncle to marry us and not a JP wedding. I am fine with whatever he wants as he can be the groomzilla as I have done this production before (lol)

    Yes and with CoVID we get to spend more time at home together. I work in healthcare so i typically have long days but fiance now works from home and that is nice to come home to him already being there when typically he starts and gets home later than I do. It is a positive if there is something to be positive about during all this.

    Granted my wedding isn't until next year - I definitely felt pressure to do my reception in my backyard so that I can kind of find a loophole around the rules as long as my vendors are still comfortable. I've decided I'm gonna get married on that day no matter what happens Smiley smile
