Coronavirus Concerns 10 Days Out

What you said right there is it - let people choose between coming or their well being/comfort. If you want you can reconfirm guests RSVp to get a better idea within the week and if you’re still at around 80 people or even 70 people that’s a pretty large turn out. Unless people like your parents can’t go, I’d still have the wedding.

I think it would be pretty hard to cancel or postpone this close to the wedding. As long as people practice good hygiene they should be fine. You can give mini hand sanitizers as favors. I hope everyone will show up for you and your wedding is all you dreamed it would be. Good Luck!

We are 15 days away and our final count is due on Tuesday. I’ve sent emails and messages to everyone asking if they still want to come, and if not then to please let me know by Monday.


My heart is broken because we already have a small wedding, and now we are going to lose people. My grandparent likely can’t come (obviously for age/health reasons), and while I’m not mad, I’m absolutely devastated that my grandfather potentially can’t walk me down the aisle.
The worst part about rescheduling is that we can’t know what will happen going forward. I’m so nervous, but the show must go on. Whatever happens is out of our control so we’re just going to try to keep on schedule.

That’s my attitude. Ours is in PR April 18. No one has mentioned cancelling but if the dust doesn’t settle soon I’m sure some will. I looked into wedding insurance but no one covers cancellation due to COVID-19. They are literally saying that on their websites. We would be our thousands of dollars if we cancel so we press on!

Yeah, we're going to lose way too much money if we cancel. Looks like we have to press on. Our venue said business as usual so far, but of course I'm a nervous wreck. 23 days and this is not what I wanted in the last month.

Honesty it is so stressful and heart breaking that this is happening. My wedding is April 19th and I have spoke with the venue and we are on standby. My dad, stepmother, sister (bridesmaid), brother, and grandpa wont be able to make it if they travel restrictions are not lifted. I am trying to press forward but I am devastated that my dad might not be able to walk me down the aisle. I want to postpone but cannot afford to lose the money. So far the venue is on board hopefully other vendors will be understanding and allow us to postpone if needed.

I hope everyone above's wedding is working out. My wedding date was 4-10 and we were doing a wait and see approach but our wedding venue made the call to cancel/postpone the event due to COVID19 and CDC's recommendations.

Just coming on here bc all my friends are already married so they don't understand this whole....added stress!

Now we are still trying to figure out coordinating dates available with our venue, dj & photographer/videographer. We are looking in July. If it's still an issue then we will just cancel and elope!

Also, our honeymoon was supposed to be in Italy in June. SOO yea....right now, everyone is being accommodating and it doesn't look like we'll lose too much.

Best of luck to my fellow brides during this time. It's historical.....so it'll be a story to tell the grandkids lol.

We had to reschedule and honestly, it was a relief. With the cancellations and the threat of more, we were having a hard time being excited about our wedding. It was so sad to have to do it but now we have less to worry about.

My wedding date is on May 9th and just tried to call our Venue to see if they would be voluntarily cancel because of the COVID-19 but was told, 100% no reimbursement and that we could move our date for a later date or just lose all the money we paid. Thought they would be more understanding knowing this was not my doing and who would have thought there be a virus outbreak when I signed the contract 10 months ago.

I don't see a need to move the date because, i still want to get married on the 9th and so far, my guest list hasn't been growing since this COVID-19 started ramping up recently. I have family whos out of state and friends as well and those who were confirmed to fly in, who knows if they can even make it out, let alone once here, if will they even have a way back home if flights get cancelled. I'm just a little bummed and stressed. Hopefully it mellows out and maybe we'll have a smaller wedding then we hoped for.
