Celebration ideas for after civil ceremony

Megan, on June 7, 2020 at 10:32 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 6
My fiancé and I were planning on doing a May 2021 wedding, but the pandemic has really thrown us for a loop so that probably isn’t going to happen. Instead we’re going to do a small civil ceremony in September and have our big wedding down the road when we can. We’re planning on having between 10-20 people there and we’re getting married in a small gazebo in a public park. We’d like to have some small celebration afterwards with the people who came to the ceremony, but we’re stuck on where. Having it at someone’s house isn’t really possible and the weather can be very unpredictable where I live, so being outside without a backup plan isn’t possible either. Any one have any good ideas as to what we could do? Thanks!

    Would you be able to maybe find a restaurant with a private room that can do it? Restaurants are slowly opening up now so I can imagine they might be able to do it

    I would check your state but if I read correctly your wedding is in 2021. I think it is too soon to worry if things will get better. By then I imagine it would.

    It’s not just about things open. There are a number of reasons why it won’t work for our big wedding so that’s why we’re doing the small one.

    Oh a small wedding is fine, I guess I misunderstood your post. I thought you were switching to a small wedding due to the time frame and if COVID 19 will be resolved by then. I think a restaurant is the easiest or unless you can rent a club house and make it a party style atmosphere.

    I don’t see why you can’t have a May 2021 wedding. People are postponing until then and I know a couple people who just got engaged and are planning for spring next year
