covid Fatigue......

Hi there! I am cutting my guest list so I can avoid all of the stupid restrictions

This is a mood! I'm also hoping to be married and take our honeymoon before having children (one stress at a time!) and feeling a time crunch. I'm turning 34 this year and my partner is 44. I have health issues that get steadily worse every year, so I feel the second hand ticking by on starting a family before health issues overwhelm us. I don't even know if we can conceive or how much trouble it will be. If we have to push the date out to sometime in 2022, especially late 2022, I'm going to have to make the same decision as to which is more important to me, and it might not be an expensive party and vacation! I feel for everyone here. I just want to hit the normal sort of "milestones" most people did in the "before times" and it feels like that's being sidelined.

Thanks Meghan for the positivity. Here's hoping!

It sounds like you have been through a lot. I am sorry to hear about what you are going through with you mom. Sounds like your venue made that call pretty early on. What is the soonest you can have it? I understand that your family is a priority and at the end of the day getting pregnant will mean more than a wedding (I state the obvious...) but I really hope you get to have both.

Sending love your way!

I understand. NYC bride too and both of my parents were hospitalized with COVID in the early days in March. Dark time. We almost lost my dad. My husband is also a barber who gets tested frequently (and goes to work in bubble wrap...) and i get tested as well at least once a month.

Yes indeed it's not a big ask for your guests.

I am happy you are going through with it.

I am not sure what my problem is. I think I am just feeling depressed from all of it. Hopefully in the coming weeks I will be compelled to start planning agin.

I hope you have a beautiful wedding.

Thanks Lauren! I hope I get my second wind here. Or my first wind at my second attempt !
Good luck with your wedding. Go be a gorgeous bride! xoxo

View Quoted Comment Oh, love that! What kind of hand sanitizers?

We’ve been planning since last April and my venue said they don’t have mask requirements which is one reason I chose them. We are still going to have our wedding as planned. God willing

View Quoted Comment Same!! Our day is in 17 days. It’s all outside, and we are just going forward. If they are not comfortable to come that is fine. But we are still on.

View Quoted Comment Haha you will!! Just wait and see! You’re going to be gitty (and if you’re not, then no sweat!) congratulations xo

I got engaged in June 2020 and am getting married June 2021. I never rescheduled anything; I'm just planning on ahead as much as possible. We have a smaller guest list than originally planned (a bit over 100 guests) but it actually makes a great excuse not to invite a bunch of people we don't really want to be there. It's frustrating, but I'm just going ahead like things are normal and adjusting when the venues tell me we need to.

At this point, we are just DONE with it. My fiance, myself and a large percentage of our friends and family have already tested positive for COVID and have recovered without complications. We're eloping so that is pretty much set but we're leaning towards canceling our reception at a local winery and having it at home. We live in the country with plenty of privacy and plenty of acreage to spread out. We think it will be more relaxing for our guests and for us - we just need help with the logistics of it.

We officially changed our plans from a 200 person wedding to a 45 person wedding in Asheville,NC. We will have our reception around our one year anniversary hoping things will be more calm then,

The intimate will still be so special! I know Asheville is pretty strict. We are about an hour from Asheville and love to go for day trips and it's been pretty shut down from the start!

We did a double sided invite for the uninvited. This is the first thing they will see. The other side is a traditional invitation with the date/time for a virtual ceremony via zoom.

New york Wedding November 2021. Right now theyre allowing 150 guests. I have 100 guests. Crossing my fingers things stay same till November. Whoever wants to come can come if they arent blah about covid. Cant wait forever to get married.

Getting married in October. We live in panama city beach and have been dreaming of a beach wedding. Had the venue all already set up and booked and now because of COVID they are no longer allowed to hold weddings at our venue. So we are STRESSED!

Wanted to say I went to a wedding last August and the guests wore masks basically the whole night and we still danced our butts off. It was so nice to get out and we still had lots of fun. It's all about risk management and everyone has to do that now when they go out. I would take the risk for a good friend or family member's wedding and wear a mask as much as possible.

Getting married next month, we haven't changed anything, we just figured when covid first happened and we were unsure that if covid was still around by then they would figure out how to accommodate things. We still managed to have 100 guest confirmed (my venue is all outside) and some things will be done differently as far as tables being called up and my wait staff actually serving our buffet style dinner. I wanted to elope, and still would of rather eloped but as we are approaching our day we're just going to roll with it and hope for the best! We're in Florida so it's not so restricted. People can always wear a mask. I've honestly been chill about it all the way up until this point! Wouldn't say covid fatigue but definitely ready for the day to be here and all this wedding planning to be behind us! Good luck and stay positive! & remember you planned your whole wedding during a pandemic!

After postponing twice, and being engaged for 3 years now, we're throwing in the towel. There's no way we'll be allowed to have the wedding we planned before 2022 (maybe not even then). We are tired of waiting. So we're going to Vegas at the end of May for our wedding!! Splurging on a fancy hotel for a few days and just focusing on getting married and pampering ourselves.
