10/10/20 Check In!

Our date was November if this year, and we just made the difficult decision yesterday to postpone until 2021. We had originally said we would just wait it out & see what happens, but the stress of the unknowns just wasn’t worth it to me. I decided I’d rather have a date I didn’t need to worry about, and a clear timeline for purchases, etc. This pandemic is THE WORST!!

Yes for real! (I signed in on the wrong profile when I made that post, but its me, same Haley haha).

I would hate to postpone and then everything be fine. I am thinking I'll wait until June to see but I also don't wanna wait too long either! So frustrating! and who would've thought a freaking PANDEMIC would affect your wedding day! its alllmost laughable.

Hey date twin! We are planning on getting married that day regardless like you said. I don’t think this lockdown will last longer than June/ July at the latest. Things will slowly open up again and I think by October we should be okay. For me I plan on having a smaller wedding anyway, our guest list is about 75 at most right now but I would be more than happy to shrink it down to just family and bridal party in case there are any restrictions for how many people can attend an event still. If I didn’t have my dress, rings, and all my vendors booked I would be more worried but I think we will be okay by then. Other countries it seems have gotten back to somewhat normalcy in about 3 months.

Yay date twins!

I have about 100 people in my guest list right now so I assume about 75 would come. I also have all my vendors booked. But I don't have rings and none of the bridesmaids, groomsmen, or the groom have their attire. I do have my dress thank goodness!

I am really hoping you're right! I have already spent so much money on deposits and decor and stuff, I just really would hate for that to go to waste. Like a dumb dumb, I did not get wedding insurance. (what are the odds that something catastrophic would happen? HA.)

Our Date Is Oct. 17th & We're Continuing To Plan As Normal. We Will Reassess The Situation In September At The Latest. Our Venue Isnt Postponing Weddings That Far Out Anyway So I Dont Want To Stop Planning And End Up Scrambling As You Said.

Our venue is not postponing yet so we are continuing to plan. I'm going to wait until late July, early August before I start to worry.

I checked in with our venue and it sounds like they are flexible yet hopeful we will be able to have our wedding there in October. That said we’ll probably hold off until August to make a decision whether to reschedule.

Hi date twin We are going to be making the decision in the next 2-3 weeks as we have a 2nd large deposit due on May 10th with our venue. We are 95% sure that we're going to be postponing until next fall

I am 10/10 also. We are still planning as normal. I am anxious though and it’s upsetting because my year to get married has finally come and I can’t really enjoy it because we won’t know how things will go. We have been engaged since August 2018 and at this point postponing is not something I want to do, but I understand it may be something out of my control. I am holding off on buying things like decor or favors and bridal party gifts until we get closer.

Date twins! Like you, we are getting married on 10/10/20 regardless. I have planned my wedding before my fiance even proposed (lol, no kidding). I am also very stressed out especially we have out of the country's guests told us they won't be attending due to Covid-19 even though it's still 6 months away. I have hired every vendor except hair and makeup. Now, I am worried about whether or not if I should book MUA now or wait until later. As far as the BM, I am lucky that all of my BMs are essential workers, so they don't have financial issues. I am thinking I will see what's going to happen in July before asking them to order. Another concern I have is the invitation, when to send them out. Headache headache. Good luck!

We are also 10/10/20 and since all the planning is done, vendors are booked and details in place, I don’t feel stressed because there won’t be last minute scrambling. We selected not to have a bridal party so that our friends could sit back and enjoy the day as guests... and that makes things easier right now too. So, I guess my only “issue” has I do with invitations. I ordered samples and we selected the one we like. But now I don’t plan to order them yet.


Basically, I’m waiting to see how life is near the end of summer. Since there isn’t a cure or a vaccine, I want to see if the virus flares up again. But, like you, we also still plan to get married on 10/10/20 even if the reception with family and friends has to be on another date. So, that also helps with not feeling too worried.

Date twin!!! I'm in the same boat. Hopeful but hesitant. I'd love to think this will be over by that point in time (the economy can't continue like this for much longer) but I also don't want to be too naive. I've held off on purchasing flowers and favors right now just to avoid the headache of having to contact customer support to change dates if this does continue. However, I went ahead and booked my flight for my Bachelorette party (over Labor Day weekend) because it was super cheap and that was worth taking a chance on. I'm taking advantage of any sales that are happening right now while also supporting small businesses but holding off on buying anything that has a date associated with it.

Hi Haley,

I am loving the suggestions above! How exciting is it to see so many other couples have the same date as you?! So cool!

I would wait a few more months before making any hard and fast decisions. But, I do love the idea of getting married on your special date and doing a larger reception later on. I'm certain whatever you decide will be beautiful!

Sending lots of love your way!

Hey girl!

My wedding date is 10.24.2020. I am also feeling very anxious. We have thrown around postponing until next year due to so many unknowns. My fear is that if I wait any longer to postpone, the vendors that we have contracts with will not be available next year. We have an amazing team of vendors and have worked countless hours finding the perfect vendors for us.

We are also fearful that many of our friends and family will not have the vacation time that they had when they originally RSVP'd yes.

So many what if's. We are going to give it another month, then re-deliberate what our plan will be.

Best wishes xx

Thank you for starting this thread, we are a 10/10 couple as well! I just put a long post on our wedding website today basically saying we're waiting until July to decide. I will probably reach out to our vendors and see if we can maybe get a backup date. I feel cautiously optimistic.

Like someone else in this thread, most of the big pieces are already planned so we can be pretty flexible.

Our wedding date is 10/3/2020. We are not making any decisions until mid-July. Everything with COVID 19 is changing by the minute. Based upon other countries, it looks like the brunt of everything has lasted a few months before starting to go back to normal. That would put the US around June Fingers crossed all goes back to normal ASAP!

I checked in with my bridesmaids and they are all still good with proceeding with dress ordering this Saturday. They are ordering from Azazie and current production time is listed as 6-7 weeks on their website. Groomsmen won't need to worry yet because the local suit shop had stocked up on the navy suits we wanted and the ivory shirts right before everything shut down!!

I have been doing things like looking on pinterest for possible hair, nail, and makeup inspo! We have had all of our vendors booked for a while now. I'm so happy I got the bulk of the planning done last spring/summer!

HI! Same Haley as OP, just a different account. I didn't realized I'd signed into the wrong account when I posted this.

So glad the consensus seems to be to wait until Julyish before making any decisions. I think thats what I'm going to do as well!

We're getting married in SC and over the weekend they announced plans to reopen retail stores today, along with a bunch of other states in the Southeast. My thinking is this will either go fairly well or really badly depending on a bunch of factors, so I feel like we might get an idea over the next month or so of the likelihood that weddings will take place in the fall.

I will say - I have been trying to plan stuff like hair and makeup ideas, bridesmaid gifts, rings, etc. because if we are able to get married in October (which we are all hoping for) then this is still our engagement, it's still the only time we have to enjoy planning a wedding so I want to enjoy it as much as we can even with all of the uncertainty.
