Hello Brides! I’m getting married on 10/10/20 and we are still moving forward with the wedding. My venue is currently holding weddings of 75+ as of the end of May and they are confident all will be fine by October. Even if the state allows “half” capacity at that time, our venue has a max capacity of 300 so our desired 150 guests will still be within the limits.
We did not send Save the Dates but we want to send out our invites before the recommended 6-8 weeks before the wedding. Our desired guest count is 150 and we want to invite them all especially given it is in a rural area where accommodations may be required, plus our venue being confident about the 150 guests.
Does anyone have any advice on any verbiage for a statement to include as a small note in the envelope regarding COVID-19? We worry if anything about a second wave, or any new regulations, our venue will have to drop the guest limits or it will stay at 75 max guests and we have 150 invites out. We are afraid we would need to take invites “back” because we likely will still move forward with the wedding and reception that day, but just with a select guest list.
Perhaps verbiage such as: We are looking forward to a very special day and want all of our family and friends to be apart of it. During these unpredictable and unprecedented times, we are unsure about further restrictions that may be put in place affecting capacity and other venue restrictions. Our goal is to celebrate with all.
If anyone has any advice or is currently considering a plan like this, I would love to learn how you are going about it or how you would go about it.
Thank you so much.
