August 2020 Brides! Canceling?

August 29 wedding here. I am not cancelling anything. My bridal shower was April and we pushed out to June. Hopefully everything is good by then. Has anyone said you should cancel or postpone?

Hi! We moved our 4/3/20 wedding to August. So I am lifting this up in prayer that we, August brides, will have our wedding. I can not postpone a wedding for the 2nd time. So let’s continue to have faith and prayer. 30 days at a time! 🙏🏽

My wedding was on April 18 We postpone to August 29. I am praying tha we can have our wedding.

Hi Ashlea! It's totally fair to feel stressed and uncertain. Right now there are a lot of other couples who are also in "wait and see" mode for a little while!

We've started gathering resources from WeddingWire in our COVID-19 Wedding Support Central, and you can also connect with other August couples facing the same questions in this discussion:

i need you, August 2020 Brides!

Ours is August 28th with no plan to postpone yet. I’m holding out until as late as I can! Fingers crossed that postponing isn’t in the cards. I’m already postponing my shower which doesn’t look like it will happen in June at this point. If I have to postpone my mid July bach I will be quite nervous for our wedding happing as scheduled.

I'm in August too. When do you plan on sending out your invites?

View Quoted Comment We’re having a really small wedding and with save the dates out I likely won’t send invites until mid July

We're having ours on August 1 as well. Planning it as normal. I just emailed our venue requesting information, if they have it, on the max number of people we can have and social distancing guidelines. Invites will go out very, very soon. We're getting married no matter what, even if we don't have a reception right away. The Sacrament is what matters to us anyways.

We are also scheduled for August 28th in California and with no news on what things will look like for weddings I am struggling with spending money on invites to have to change them. Most of our guests are from out of town so there is a need for more advance notice and I would like to know how many people we are looking at notifying if there are cuts in the guest amount allowed. Has anyone else in California gotten any guidance from their venues?

View Quoted Comment We are scheduled for September 27th in Northern California (Sonoma area). I emailed my venue last Saturday and the Director said they haven't received any word regarding restrictions and she'll let us know when she does. It's frustrating not knowing what the restrictions will look like - I'm in your boat, still waiting to order invitations until we hear if we'll have to scale back our guest count, wear mask, if dancing is prohibited, etc. Part of me just wants to order the invitations and move forward with the wedding come what may but the other part of me can't justify us spending thousands of dollars to have a socially distanced wedding with no restrictions. Holding out hope our venue will work with whatever restrictions are set in place... Hopefully we'll hear by the end of the month at least what those will be

View Quoted Comment We are scheduled for the same day and also in California. Our venue says if there are restrictions still by June 25th, we can postpone.
