2021 postponing

Briana, on August 10, 2020 at 9:16 PM Posted in Community Conversations 2 18
Is anyone that originally planned for their wedding to be in 2021, postponing?
My wedding is set for 4.3.21, has been since right before the stay at home orders, but now I’m worried I’ll have to postpone it. I know a lot of couples chose to postpone their 2020 dates; but anyone originally planned for a 2021 wedding, thinking about postponing?

    My date is 3/27/21 and there has been no talk to postpone it. It’s still far away and anything can happen so I won’t make that decision until closer to the date. Honestly probably in January.

    Our date is 4/3/21 too & there’s been no talk from the venue or venders about postponing. It hasn’t even crossed my mind!

    I think you still have some time before you need to consider postponing. It couldn't hurt to reach out to your venue/vendors (or check your contracts) to find out what their postponement policies are, but I would wait until around January to see what the situation is like and to make a decision on whether to postpone. Things might be greatly improved by then (hopefully!), so it might not even end up being an issue. Hoping for the best!!

    Hello! I’m not sure where your wedding will be but we are scheduled for 6/26/21 in MA and our venue reached out to me and said they are “deeply concerned” and asked if we had started thinking about alternate plans. For us, we don’t want the stress of rescheduling 6 months out so we are going to decide this week. I’d say- reach out to your vendors.

    That's interesting. My wedding is the same day as yours and it's in North Carolina. That's not even a conversation and we just had our photoshoot (we live in NYC) at our venue. Praying that we all get through this and you do not have to push your wedding back

    My wedding was planned for April 17, 2021 and we have made the decision to postpone to October 2, 2021 just two days ago. The reason we decided now was because ALL of our guests must travel. 90% of my family lives in New York and the travel restrictions keep getting extended. The stress and anxiety has just been too overwhelming for me to continue on as normal. I wanted to be the one to make the decision rather than 'wait and see'. I was thinking if we waited, the chances of all of our vendors being available on a date we liked would be slim. I honestly feel relived and I could hear the relief in my family over the phone so that has helped.

    We are supposed to get married on 4/13/21 and always said if things were still bad we would postpone but never thought we actually would. My fiancé mentioned it to me for the first time today and said it was probably a good idea to postpone until later on so that our families could all make it ( we both have very big families). It honestly makes me extremely sad to think about and I'm praying that we won't have to consider it at all but in the end I know it would be for the best.

    We're not postponing. If we're forced to postpone, we might actually just end up eloping and then have the new date as our renewal

    As a 2020 bride, my advice is to start coming up with plan B now. I remember in April, all of us fall 2020 brides were asking the same questions and everyone answered the same way, including myself. We all said it was too early and postponing wasn’t even on our minds. Now here it is August and most couples have postponed, but we are still pushing forward with adjustments. You need to ask yourself if you are still willing to get married if you have to make changes to your original plans. If your not willing to get married with social distancing, mask, smaller guest list, and no dancing then seriously consider postponing.

    We have already postponed our 10/22/2020 date for 4/22/2021. We will still be getting married on our new date even if it's just our parents and siblings.

    I heard today that Russia has a vaccine and I feel ours is right around the corner. I'm staying hopeful that next year will be better and there will be a lot more known about the virus. My friends keep telling me that once the election is over in November, things will be different. Which I dont understand but I hope they're right.

    Ours is in May 2021 and we're not thinking about postponing at all. (We do have a plan B just in case) Smiley smile

    That is where I’m at right now. I don’t want to stress about it, more than I already am, so I might just change it to give me some peace of mind.

    Ours is 7/31/21 and we are not planning on postponing. We’ve made an alternate guest list in case we need to cut down to fit within covid safe restrictions but we will not be postponing and will likely still get married even if it is just us and our parents.

    Hi Shelly,


    My Banquet Manager told me the same thing! That once the election is over things will get back to normal. I don’t understand how but I guess I should just listen to him lol.

    What did you decide? I am May 1 and have been debating for months if we should cancel. Our venue has very limited availability for fall 2021 (all 2021 Saturdays and most Fridays are already taken) so it feels like if we don't move it soon, we won't really have the opportunity to unless we push it way out, which doesn't really work for us because of our age and wanting to start a family soon after
