86 Days To Go...Will It Still Happen?

I believe you would just have a reception if you are going to shoot for the fall. But if you do it a year later, you could do a vow renewal. But realistically it’s up to you. As long as you and hubby are happy with the decision that’s all that matters. Who cares what other people think.


As far as postponing, you’d have to look at your contracts and see what they say. My venue doesn’t consider a Virus as an Act of God or unforeseen circumstance unfortunately, (or however it’s worded) so for me, my wedding for June 7th is still on. Good luck!

I’ve been thinking of this a lot lately- my wedding is planned for June 13, 2020. Realistically I think we will be deciding on whether or not to postpone By May 13 or the week after that. It’s so hard to say right now because the covid19 situation seems to change daily. Here in CA we are on full lockdown until at least April 19th with the high possibility of that being extended if our hospitals become overwhelmed. I’ve sobbed over this countlessy and I’m sorry that I can’t provide you with any comfort in this- just know you’re not alone. Let’s hope our weddings can go off without a hitch as planned ❤️

We just postponed our June 20th wedding on Monday and all the vendors were extremely understanding and helpful. Within 2 days I had completely rescheduled with all major vendors to August 15th and could finally breathe again. I say go for it

Hi there, my wedding is also June 20, 2020, I'm freaking out whether or not to have a small intimate ceremony or not with all the uncertainty hanging over our heads. I have purchase, items for my wedding and afraid I may not be able to use, my cake is already paid for since last year, purchases wedding dresses my wedding centerpieces etc. What to do with all the items invested in? I don't think I would come back later with a reception at a later time. I'm set on doing it as planned but I also am thinking of the safety of others as well as my own. I'm not sure what I. Doing. Good luck with your special day whatever you decide.

Hi Adrien! This is definitely a crazy stressful and uncertain time for everyone! It seems like a lot of June brides are waiting a few more weeks before making postponement decisions, but everyone's situation is different and it never hurts to be proactive about plan b!

You also aren't alone right now! ❤️ There are a ton of June brides also talking about their Covid19 concerns in these discussions:

June 2020 brides: freaking out?

June and July Brides do not stress Covid-19!!!

I’m in the same boat as you with the same date! We already talked about it and decided to wait until May 1st to make an official decision. We thought that would give us enough time to see how things go and if the restrictions are lifted by then. Just in case I have already messaged all my vendors to give them a heads up, I would reschedule a whole year away tho next June and most of them said they are free all Saturday's for June of next year. Although we still want to get legally married this year probably a backyard ceremony with immediate family. I’m doing this because I’m one of those girls that’s always dreamed about their wedding day and I do want the big wedding with all our loved ones eventually. I hope this advice helps!

We also have a 6/20/20 wedding and are located in a high risk county in CA. As of now, our schools are planning to open back up May 1st so I am hopeful. I believe Trump is putting out new guidelines today for certain risk areas, so that might give us a clearer picture of what when can expect. We are currently planning to send out our invitations around April 20th. Since, they're already stamped and sealed, I am attaching a clear label on the back letting guests know to stay updated through the wedding website. All of the time, effort, and little details put into the planning all seem so trivial now. IF (and I hope and pray) 6/20/20 wedding stills goes on, I at least feel now that if anything goes wrong in the details, it really seems so insignificant at this point and I will just be grateful even if the cake falls apart and the flowers don't match. Best wishes to all!

View Quoted Comment Thank you so much for the words of encouragement.

I made the decision 11 days in advance. Lol. I'd tell ya maybe 3 weeks at the latest, but I know it's possible to do it closer. I just woke up one day and knew it was time to pull the plug.


We still plan to sign our papers and elope, but have an actual ceremony and reception later.
We considered having a small ceremony and then the reception later. But then we had to keep it under 10 people.
We have people looking forward to celebrating with us. I have bridesmaids who purchased dresses. We have a whole ceremony and reception planned. I'm not cancelling the fun day I planned because of this. I'm postponing it.

Hi there, so sorry you are going through this too, you're not alone! I've just posted a lengthy message regarding this issue. I think it would really help you to read it.
