Covid bride

Our wedding is June 12, 2021 in Massachusetts were restrictions are tight. We sent out save the dates to 100 guests, and will reevaluate in the new year to see if guest reductions are required. More likely than not, we won’t postpone as to avoid loss of money on the items that are non-refundable. We already booked our international honeymoon too. Wishing for the best and stressing like crazy.

I am May 30th 2021 bride. I definitely feel you I hate the not knowing but I personally don’t want to postpone. If things are not better we will more than likely just cut the guest list which I hate because it’s like uninviting people.

April, postponed from October. We are going ahead with it.

View Quoted Comment I know! I’ve been trying to figure out potential ways to get around it but for some of us 2021 brides I think it may be inevitable. Brides have said their guests “uninvited” due to COVID that they were very understanding. I regret sending out my save the dates so early but I naively thought it wouldn’t impact me and my wedding. I saw one bride split her guest list in half and have like a less formal brunch the day before or after.

We are getting married on May 8, no matter if it is 75 guests, or 35 guests, or 10 guests. We will adjust based on whatever guidelines are at the time and just roll with it. Sadly, these are just the cards we were dealt, and we are prepared to move forward with either Plan A, B, or C without any regrets.

We're still continuing with our big wedding in March as of right now. We will make a decision late January/early February to postpone if necessary but not making any decisions right now

My FH and I decided to cut our losses and have a tiny ceremony where only our parents are invited.

Continuing with our May wedding in NYC. Agree with others don't care if it's my 120 guests or 10. We only sent STDs to 50 so we'll see what changes we gotta make.

Originally July 2020 and postponed to Feb 2021


We cut 100 people off the guest list and it’s just close family and the bridal party now.
We are moving forward unless we have another government shut down. The way my area is going a shut down is a possibility. At this point I feel like it’s just a waiting game.

I’m meant to get married May 29 2021 is upstate NY. I was talking to all our vendors this week about moving our big reception to May 28 2022. All our vendors were available but our officiant convinced us to wait a little longer to postpone with the administration of the vaccine. We’re going to decided in March if we’ll go through with the maximum people we can have or do an elopement this year and a big reception next year. The unknown is so stressful.

May 1, 2021 bride here - this week I’m looking into postponing to late July/early August!

That is exactly what we will consider should restrictions still be in place for our May 22, 2021 wedding. We changed our venue 2 months ago so our ceremony and reception will be outside (this gave me a great deal of ease). I absolutely did not want to postpone. We opted for an intimate wedding from the start (80-85 guests), so cutting the list down to 50 guests won't be much of a stretch (if necessary). At this point, I feel like people might expect this anyway.

It's hard not to stress as positive as we want to be. Siiigh The reality is we don't really know when all of this will be over. I honestly feel like there is no right or wrong decision at this point. We are all just hoping for the best. Our wedding is May 22, 2021 and we recently changed our venue to a private estate where the ceremony and reception will be held outside. Outdoor gatherings have been allowed in California, so we are hoping it stays this way. Worst case, we will just reduce our list because I don't want to postpone. We have worked so hard to make this day perfect and that is what we are looking forward to.

That makes me feel the worst about planning. I postpone from May 2020 to May 2021, and have had so many people send me Christmas cards saying they are excited about my wedding. Uninviting people is what I very much want to avoid, but I am balancing it against trying keep things safe. I never would have thought it would be somewhat acceptable to uninvite people. I really hope January and February bring more clarity.
