Covid-19 postpone ideas

I would make reservations or plans for a nice lunch or dinner with your new husband and your guests at a restaurant nearby. see if your photographer can stick around to photo your departure and maybe a few moments before you eat.

We did this. We didn't used our original venue at all this year, but we will have a reception there next year/when it's safe. We just had the whole thing outside of my parents' house. We rented a tent and enough small tables to keep people distanced. We did individually packaged heavy appetizers and had more than enough food for everyone for dinner, but you could certainly do a lighter version earlier in the day. Everything was presented in a formal way, but it was a fairly relaxed atmosphere. We had photos taken, there were speeches, and then an ice cream truck came and we played lawn games. It was perfect.

We are doing very similar. We aren't even using our original venue for our smaller ceremony. We're going somewhere else entirely!

Either way- we chose to go out for a non-hosted dinner (everyone will pay for their own meal!) to celebrate. We are only having our parents and grandparents present, as we had to keep it to 10 people per NYS restaurant restrictions (only 10 per table).

I'm okay with it. Honestly. At first I was bummed, and sure maybe I am still a little, but I've actually grown very excited for our small October ceremony and I couldn't really care less about the vow renewal/reception in June with everyone else!
