Would you go?

Psh! I’m planning on only having thirty people at my actually ceremony, and then an hour later meeting the rest of the guests for the celebration at the reception. Seems pretty common now a days to me!

Traditionally it would have been considered rude to do this but I think under the circumstances it is acceptable. I would just make sure that everyone knows why you are doing it so there are no misunderstandings or hurt feelings. Good luck to you. I wish you all the best.

I would go!

I would be disappointed to be missing the ceremony but I’d still fo

Go* not “fo” lol

Yall are the best! Thank yall so much! You made me feel better!

Totally!

Completely understand with the virus, but also if they had gotten married for any other reason and had to postpone the reception. (Insurance, adoption issues, visa issues, etc.)

The only time I'd really be offended is if someone had the ceremony the same day and only invited people to the reception.

Thanks for this nice discussion

Everybody who we called to tell we were postponing told us immediately they were still coming. No questions asked.

I totally would go. People will absolutely understand

View Quoted Comment I agree!💗

Yes! My brother had a small ceremony (40) followed by a large reception (300)

People understand it’s a special situation. Plus everyone loves a celebration and we will need one after this calms down.

Hi Ashley,


I definitely would still go. Maybe the couple wants to just do an intimate ceremony with the immediate family (or just by themselves). I’m not sure what the situation is, but I think the reception is where everyone comes together and truly celebrates the couple! Hope this helps 🤗.

Sure! And I would much appreciated NOT being invited to the June 2020 ceremony. Too soon. If not invited anyway, I’d assume private ceremony because of this situation anyway.

I’d still go! My fiancé is military and a lot of couples we know have a courthouse/small wedding and then a reception or celebration later on.

I would say it depends how close I am to them. You could always have a short ceremony for them also if you wish
I would say depends who reception it was if it was immediate family family friend relatives. But I would probably go.
One thing I have learned and observed is when free food is involved people find ways to attend

Yes I would

No! if not invited to one, then don't go to any.

Oh course I would go! We all understand that Covid has changed things oh course! people whom love you guys and want to celebrate your special union will be there for you whether it's this June or next June.
