Covid19 wedding Help!

Totally feel your pain - my wedding is supposed to be May 30th and I am going back and forth wondering if we should reschedule. My fiancé is more hopeful and wanting to wait a few more weeks, but we would need to send our invites out soon and I think it would be a little easier to decide if we are going to postpone BEFORE sending invites out. I have no idea what to do at this point.

I've been planning for a year and a half and to get this close to the date and then think of pushing it back, is seriously so hard!

Hope everything works out for you!

I know the uncertainty of everything is crazy stressful right now!! You are definitely not alone in feeling conflicted. We've started gathering initial tips and resources from WeddingWire here: COVID-19 Wedding Support Central, and you can connect with other couples concerned about their May wedding dates in this discussion: May brides and your plan of action?

These other discussions are also gathering places for people struggling with rescheduling:

Brides postponing for coronavirus, are you having secret ceremony before new date?

I hear ya! I am so sorry this is happening to you. My wedding is scheduled for May 23rd and we have decided to wait one month prior to make an executive decision about postponing. I am hoping things will calm down in April so that we all can have our dream weddings on our planned days. I know it is hard to be patient with social media and all of the lockdowns. Don't lose faith!

I think its naive to assume anything at this point. I understand we must keep hope, but we must also be realistic and prepare for the worst case scenario (postponement.) I am right here with you.

Our wedding is planned for June 13, 2020 and while that seems far enough out to not have to postpone - with all the uncertainty and information rapidly changing on a daily basis, I can't help but be overwhelmed with stress and anxiety. I've already had to cancel by bridal shower and am sure my bach is out of the question at this point too.

Here in CA, we have a "Shelter in Place" ordinance in effect through April 19th with the possibility of that extending to May if our situation here does not improve. Our venue has had to cancel and postpone weddings that were planned through April. My heart ACHES for those couples.

We are hoping late April will offer more clarity for the future of 2020, however, what everyone needs to understand (myself included) is that even if things "calm down" soon, it doesn't mean people will be out of danger while in close proximity to one another. We never expected to have to make such a heartbreaking decision, however, it is not nearly as heartbreaking as the idea of putting our loved ones at risk.

take some time to decide what is best for you, but understand that there are many other couples debating the same and dates will become less and less available.

Hi there, so sorry you are going through this too, you're not alone! I've just posted a lengthy message regarding this issue. I think it would really help you to read it.
