    Nope! I won't start stressing until we are told from vendors, venue, or the state of California that we can not have our wedding on the date planned, until then I am planning as usual.

    Just changed from May to August... The pressure is WAY off now. I think it's too soon to know if August will be impacted greatly. A month and a half ago we were just in the full swing sending out our invitations. The same shift towards the positive can happen over the next month and a half, too!

    We won't be making any decisions until end of June/beginning of July. Too soon to tell. Our venue is hopeful we'll be okay by then.

    We’re giving it until the first week of May to decide what we’ll do bc invitations will need to go out late May/early June. Right now we are planning for August 29. We are considering downsizing from 40 to 15 guests, immediate family only. It seems like the safest bet right now and would feel just as special to us.

    Urgh starting to! I was fine up until Monday when VA's governor issued a Stay at Home order through June 10. My FH and I cancelled our bachelor/bachelorette parties so if we go through with our August wedding we might not get that experience. We have not decided anything yet but we did reach out to our vendors to start talking about postponement.

    I am very worried. I know people want us to be optimistic but I can’t help but pay attention to the projected timeline of when this will all be over. We also have a bunch of elderly family members. We will probably decide to cancel or not by the first week of May.

    Nope, not at all. I'm praying & hoping for the best, of course. It's too soon to freak out and come to any conclusions about postponing, and I'm confident (hopefully) things will get better before then.

    My wedding is August 29th. It's hard not to think about what could happen, but I'm going to continue planning until I hear it won't be happening. My venue will make decisions about weddings in July and August in June, so until then I just have to wait..

    I’m definitely concerned and scared. Don’t like the whole “wait and see” thing. It’s very bad here in NJ/NYC.

    Yes I am concerned. We are continuing as planned for now and our venue will decide in June.

    Yeah, We are still planning, but it looks more and more like we will need to postpone. About 90% of guests would be traveling to us here in CA, and as I’m an older bride, most of my guests/relatives are elderly. If I can’t even have my parents there, there’s no use. But, until my venue decides in cancellations/postponements in May/June, , I am holding out hope.

    Seeing what the projected timeline, I am stressing. We will decide at the end of April if we will cancel the wedding or make it a smaller intimate wedding. We have a list of 250 people coming from all over the U.S and the UK. Even if we make a smaller wedding, we would be at about 150 people. I am stressing over more of what to do with COVID-19 and our wedding than I did planning it.
