Covid-19 June weddings

Jessica, on April 6, 2020 at 4:47 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 8
Out of curiosity how many of you June brides postponed your wedding? My wedding is scheduled for June 27th in CA. We have not decided to postpone...yet. Our venue is still planning for the date. My concern is if/when should I be sending out the invitations? Do I write something in there about a possible postpone date? Our venue says we should plan to go with our plan b in may. But idk if I should wait till may to send out the invitations. Help!!!

    I’m on June 7th, and neither we or any of our vendors have postponed yet. I’m sending out invitations with our website on them, so I can post any updates there if we have to. Crossing my fingers for you!

    Hey I am also getting married on June 27th. Date twins. I have sent out the invitations already. I live in NY. My FH and I are continuing with our wedding as planned. We have talked to our venue as well and we are creating a plan b as well. I would have a talk and decide if you want to continue with the date you have set or go with plan B. Only you two will know what is right for you and your day.

    We were supposed to be June 19, but we postponed to June 25, 2021. We have a large population of at-risk guests and my FH’s entire family would need to come to Chicago from California. If we went ahead the chances were that mist of our guests would be unable to attend due to safety or even economic impacts from these stay at home orders. I was also panicking about getting everything done that I have left to do! I feel it was the best decision for us to postpone. For you, I would wait until the first week of May to send out invites. That should give you a much better idea of whether life will be more normal or not.


    Also, if you have your invites and want to address and stamp envelopes-DON’T SEAL THEM! That way, if plans change, you can swap the invites for new ones without wasting postage!

    Still on for June 20 in Turks and Caicos. They've locked down the country and closed their airport and only have 5 cases so things look good there, and hoping that my state continues staying home. Fingers crossed for everyone. My venue is being really understanding and would need to know a month out what we're doing.

    Your venue will not postpone unless the governor if your state shuts you down. They want your money but ask yourself how much you care about the safety of the people that are attending your wedding. Also the financial. People are on unemployment. Will they be able to afford attending your wedding. Dont send out invites until you have to time access the situation. Send out email invitations first letting people know it may change.

    June 6th bride here!

    I just sent out invitations yesterday. Our envelopes were already stuffed and sealed so there was no option for us to put an insert in the envelope otherwise we would have. Instead i wrote the following on our wedding website;

    We are carefully monitoring the COVID-19 outbreak and are hopeful to continue with our wedding as planned. If the situation does not improve, we may need to make the difficult decision to postpone. As for now we are full speed ahead with our plans for June 6th, 2020!

    Be sure to RSVP here on our website so you can be notified of any change in plans should the need arise; we will make our final decision on April 30th. If you hear or see nothing then plans are a-go as normal.


    If you have any questions or concerns about the situation please call or text Emily at



    We decided there are 3 things that would cause us to cancel 1) Our governor extends our stay at home order (currently ends April 10th but bars and hair salons don't open until May 1st)

    2) Either FH or myself happen to get sick - I am immune compromised so if i do happen to get sick it will most likely end in hospitalization **Knock on Wood** and FH makes way more than I do so for him to need to be out of work for 2 weeks would be a financial strain on us.

    3) Our deciding date is april 30th and have agreed if there are more than 3,000 active cases on that date in our state we will postpone. (currently in the uper 900s here in MN)

    We were June 27th and have postponed to December 12. We sent invitation's out literally 2 weeks before we made the call to postpone. We made an "official" Facebook postponement post this last weekend and will be sending out postponement postcards with our new date and time to those who have already RSVP'd YES. We know the one's who have said NO did not say no due to the date, they are just super extended family who we haven't seen since childhood. We are actually having our guests use the same RSVP card as we sent out with our invitations (to save money and resources) as the choices are the same. Good luck with your decision but I can tell you I was so relieved to postpone.

    Hi Jessica,

    This is definitely a crazy stressful and uncertain time for everyone! It seems like a lot of June brides are waiting a few more weeks before making postponement decisions, but everyone's situation is different and it never hurts to be proactive about plan b!

    You also aren't alone right now! ❤️

    There are a ton of June brides also talking about their Covid-19 concerns in these discussions:

    June 2020 brides: freaking out?

    June and July Brides do not stress Covid-19!!!

    I hope this helps!
