My wedding is 5/2/2020. My county just shut down for two weeks. I’m in a state of panic, this is not something you think you need to prepare for when wedding planning. It sure if I’m over or under freaking out here. Anyone else??

My wedding is in mexico April 13th, I’ve been mentally preparing for the fact that it more than likely will be postponed bc of all the craziness with the coronavirus . I have so much anxiety but prepared for the worst. Try not to stress as this situation is totally out of our hands!
My wedding is this weekend and we had to cut our list from 105 to 50 this morning to fit the CDC recommendation. Our honeymoon was a cruise and it was canceled, plus my make up artist is in quarantine since her mom tested positive. A lot of stuff is falling apart but we can’t reschedule. If you have the opportunity too reschedule I would consider it, because it may take away from you dream for such a special event.
We live in Virginia and our county announced today that they are banning all events with more than 50 people for the next 8 weeks. We decided to play it safe and work with our vendor to move our May 23rd wedding (10 weeks away) to later in the year. It is too stressful to just wait and see what happens. We also don’t want our high risk family members to chose between our wedding and their safety. Best of luck to everyone as they try to navigate through this craziness!
May 2nd bride here. Just called the venue and no saturday is available until next summer. I booked this venue 18 months ahead of time for my may 2nd wedding. The only availabilities they have now are on fridays or sundays. I have never even thought about having mine on those days since all my friends and family are from out of town. Which day is better for out of town guests (only evening receptions available as well)?
They told me not to cancel may 2nd yet. We are going to reassess the situation in 2 weeks.
Totally in the same boat! U.S. has not gone on lock down but my wedding is 5/16 and I am honestly considering rescheduling the reception and just doing a small ceremony with just immediate family. You are not alone!
I checked with all of them today and so far everything is going to plan but they will update us if anything else happens! this is a scary time for everyone and I hope everyone stats safe!

How did you go about cutting your guest list (i.e., notifying guests, avoiding hurt feelings, etc.)? Our wedding is 5/9/2020 and we considered cutting the guest list (also 150) as a plan C if things don’t get better by then. Our plan B is postponing the wedding.

A lot of people were hesitant about coming anyways so my fiancé and I split it in half and kept the list to wedding party, immediate family and closest friends. We explained the circumstances (the virus and can’t postpone due to moving states in 2 months) and most everybody was very understanding. I was very hesitant about uninviting people but my dad said if anyone was really mad about it considering the circumstances, they didn’t need to come anyways. It was hard, but everyone understood.

I agree same here, and we have the same wedding date btw, im wondering have you had any questioning from your guests? Im sure many people are being effected by shutdowns and so financially are unprepared or have health concerns. Worried that wedding might be effected with their inability to attend on that front because they will be too busy catching up with finances. Has anyone come to you with concerns and how have u addressed this if so?
I'm freaking out! My wedding is 4/9/20 and just got moved to July 30, 2020 ;( because of this virus!!! The venue can't hold events till after May!!! I'm so bummed, April 9th is my dating anniversary.
Wedding is May 2nd, so worried that even if by that date things have gotten a tad better, we still have to realize noone will be willing to RSVP at designated time frames, causing vendor # finalizations to be effected,guests will most likely be catching up with financial burdens due to the shutdowns, and overall we are all on an hour to hour day by day schedule right now, although we want to go about our weddings as business as usual its almost unrealistic. Hate to seem selfish about an event right now when there are bigger matters at hand but when planning a wedding we work so hard and invest so much to make a vision come true and want to have the best time possible with our loved ones, postponing just seems like the best option at this moment and its a tough one.😔
