Covid-19 Wedding in August

Honestly you should be good in August right before the second wave. It’s really hard to layout money for something you don’t know will even take place I’m June 13, 2020 we drug our feet putting down payments on anything and as soon as we had all the major players this hits. There should be laws put in place to protect brides from tragic events that are out of their control.

Well, that's what we postponed our wedding to lol. I think you'll probably be good to go ahead, but if it'll make you feel better you can talk to your vendors about what a plan b would like. And you may want to cut your guest list down to around 50. We postponed our small wedding from this weekend to 8/15 out of caution for his parents. And it'll also depend on what state you're in and where your venue is.

I’m supposed to get married the same day as you! We haven’t moved anything yet, but I did get a backup date on hold with our venue and asked all of our vendors to put that date on a tentative hold and let us know if they get requests to book. With everything being so out of our control and unknown, it gave me some piece of mind to not have to be afraid if worst comes to worst, we’d end up having to find a new venue or wait until late 2021. Fingers crossed our Plan A works out still!!

We haven’t cancelled or postponed our August 22nd wedding. A lot of brides have postponed theirs TO August so I am trying not to worry! Hoping we are all in the clear by then, can’t imagine this all going on that long. 🤞🏻

I Dont Think There Will Be Any Issues , Just Have A Back Up Plan To Be Safe.

I’m getting married August 8. We are hoping that everything will be okay and waiting until the end of May/beginning of June to really worry about anything. It’s so hard to tell and I really think my August we will be okay. I understand your anxiety- I feel the same way- but I think we will be okay and it’s really too soon to tell. I hope I helped

We're scheduled for August 29th and also waiting for ending of May/into June to see where everything is. The thing I'm struggling with right now is that we haven't put a deposit down for our catering yet, and I'm stuck on if I should pursue that or not. I also would really like to get the invitations ordered so we can mail them asap if we go ahead (they'll take a little bit to come in) but I'm questioning paying for them if we end up having to cancel.

We are August 8th. Not making any changes at this time. As others have mentioned, brides cancelling now have rescheduled for August.

We’re August 1st. Not making any changes yet, waiting for end of June/beginning of July. I’m hopeful we’ll all be okay by then

I am also August 29th, and honestly and 80% leaning towards postponing a year. Even though many here are thinking that the virus should be calmed down substantially by August, I think it will JUST be getting calmed down enough for weddings to happen. I also suspect that so many people will be getting back on their feet, getting back to work, still struggling to make ends meet, and still hesitant about traveling in.

I want our guests to feel comfortable and not have to stress about getting sick from flying in, or worry about spending money to go to a wedding (i.e. gifts, attire, nails etc.) when things have been so bad for so long.

Hopefully I'm wrong and things are back to normal way sooner, but that's just the way we are leaning. My work company just cancelled funding for in person events through June 30th... so they are clearly not expecting any of us to attend work-gatherings in person through that date.

I think, depending on where you are, you should be fine. Its going to take some time but I'm hoping things will be back to normal before August. We had to postpone our wedding from April 18 to August 15th, so fingers crossed its all good by then! I would definitely just encourage you to touch base with your vendors and get their thoughts on the situation. My coordinator made this whole process so much less painful.

We have had our date picked 8-14-20 since we got engaged in July and are not planning on postponing at this moment its too soon to decide. We will get married on the 14th as planned even if it’s a small elopement and move our wedding to next year whatever date works for all our vendors. Won’t start thinking about that till July and we know more.

We are August 29th and moving forward with planning as normal. I did email my venue and speak with my priest, and there are options we can do. But my venue isn't even thinking about postponing anything later than June right now, so I really just have to wait it out.

We are getting married August 22. We haven’t bought invitations yet cause we were waiting till May to do that anyway. We’re just hoping and praying all of this is over by August. If not we may just do a small ceremony. We’re gonna wait till June and see!

Hello, my wedding is on August 8 and as of right now I have no plans to cancel. I am continuing my plans as normal and hoping for the best. If we see that it is still not safe to have a reception on 8/8 we will make a decision sometime in the summer. I think cancelling our wedding now is a premature.

We moved our wedding from 04/18 to 08/30. We’re really hopeful about our new date— I think it’s difficult for any of us to assume what will happen two months from now. We’re supposed to see the worst of COVID-19 in these upcoming two weeks, and it’s suspected that we’ll start seeing numbers drop by May and onward. I can’t picture our world staying quarantined they way we are for 3+ months— our economy would tragically crash and our problems would become much bigger than our weddings. If we start to see some encouraging numbers by mid-May, I think ya August brides will be okay ❤️ I am putting all my faith and trust in God and praying for the best every day!

Hey girl! We've got the same date! It's actually such a relief to see someone with the same mindset as us. We are HEAVILY leaning towards postponing a year, solely based on the fact that so many of our friends and family are out of work. We're hoping and praying this is over long before then, but I feel a little guilty and almost irresponsible asking so many people to take more time off work and spend the time and money to attend our wedding. Thinking of you in this crazy time and hope things are back to normal soon!

Hey Girl! We are in the exact same boat, and we have decided to postpone ours till May 29, 2021. We think it is the best option for everyone to feel normal again and have a great time celebrating with us.
