Covid Wedding Planning - What's stressing you out?

All are valid! But hopefully these vaccines will help us a little.

What is stressing me out the MOST is the guest list because we don't want to invite everyone and then have to tell specific people that they cannot attend due to covid restrictions but we also don't want to start inviting people little by little because we don't want people to feel less important if we invited them after the others.

Yes cutting the list is stressing me out but I think unfortunately it will probably have to be done. I sent my save the dates early being the over planner that I am and now I regret that I did.

Totally been there!! I completely understand. We married in August and the stress was unbelievable. If it comforts you, people are very understanding with whatever changes may come. For example, we had to change our ceremony location 10 days before our wedding. To my surprise, each guest made it there ❤️ We had to uninvite more than half our guests and everyone was so kind, understanding and many sent gifts to lift our spirits ❤️


Take one day at a time, take good physical and mental care of yourself so you can pivot quickly with as clear head as possible when needed. I handled things I never imagined and stronger because of it 💪🏻
From one covid bride to another- you got this girl!! 👍😎

My worries: can i convince my FH to elope? If we remain with our very few guests, will his parents show up or will they be too scared of COVID? Will they even take pics with us? Ww hope to dine at a restaurant after exchanging vows...will many restaurants even be in businesses after the winter?

I'm mostly concerned with if my dad will be able to make my wedding on the planned date we have set. He lives out of the country and travel there is really strict right now for people leaving and coming into the country. I hope things go back to normal by then otherwise I will be postponing until it is safe for my dad to travel and make it to my wedding!

The thing that stresses me the most is having my fiancé ask his friends to be groomsmen & locking in a best man! He has yet to do that but on the brighter side, he did order his suit & decided that he doesn’t want him or his guys to wear boutonnières.

I think I’ve been through a whole wave of what I’ve been stressed about. The first thing was I got furloughed in March and I was so stressed about how we were going to make our payments without my pay (I’m so lucky I have wonderful vendors who worked with us). Then I stressed about the venue closing, so we were doing everything we could do to make sure they stayed in business. Luckily, they have enough of a following that they’re still open and started doing weddings again. Now I’m at the guest list worry. Mostly because we are cut back to 25 guests and that would pretty much be our bridal party. Luckily I’m not getting married until next November so I’m praying and hoping we are somewhat back to normal by then with the vaccine coming out and the herd immunity. We shall see!

Neither me or my fiancé are working. We are collecting unemployment and just been saving every dollar we can and it helps that we've been living with his parents for awhile after having major issues with our old apartment. We've already accepted the fact that not everyone will be there (even before the pandemic) but even more so, now we doubt that we'll even hit half of our initial guest list.

It's a blessing in disguise I guess because that's less money we have to spend but at the same time, I feel a few extremely important (elder) family members will no longer attend. Understandable. We're hoping that we won't be forced to cancel/postpone. We will still push forward after everything we've been through throughout our planning process and our venue is well prepared to make sure everyone stays as safe as possible. Guess we'll see what happens.

As of right now nothing is stressing me out. My husband and I had a minimony in October just in case we couldn't have our big wedding in March. Right now I feel that everything will continue as normal, if not I will cross that bridge when we get there.
