Destination wedding 2020

That’s tough. I’m sorry you may have to consider moving your mexico DW....again. My heart goes out to you 💕

I am postponing my DW that was scheduled for November 4 2020. We are now looking to rebook for spring 2021. There are too Many risks for us to proceed with November., especially being in Canada. Our government is mega strict and quarantine when we get home to Canada is very likely. It was tough decision.

Ill say go for it why not. At the time just figuring how how Mexico is and what wre their cautions. I know a few ppl who is traveling to mexico in July.

I’m shocked you know people going to Mexico in July. Have they lifted their travel restrictions already? I just don’t think non essential travel should be happening right now. If we all do the right thing for the next couple months, maybe Connie gets to have her Mexico DW! I hope the world can see that going for a vacation right now is not worth another global outbreak. We need to stop the spread so all us ladies can finally have our day lol.

My destination wedding was for France this September. We postponed it due to crazy travel restrictions everyday, and I was tired of being stressed right before our wedding. We are supposed to be happy an excited. My family also had concerns about traveling, and passport offices shut down, so people couldn't get passports.

If your family has passports and Mexico isn't being too strict, I would say wait until July to make a decision. Postponing sucks, I'm with you guys!

Also, it looks like restrictions are laxing in Mexico and surrounding area. https://thepointsguy.com/news/mexico-safe-travel-coronavirus/

I am set to get married this Oct 2020 in Los Cabos, Mexico. My second deposit is due Monday. I keep going back and forth but I really want it to go forward and hope life will be back to normal by then. I don’t want to postpone but worry about my mother flying with her health. It’s been very difficult booking vendors but I’m 4 months away. We are having a small wedding about 30 people. Have you sent save the dates or invitations yet?

I'm going for it! My wedding is August 19th in Cancun. We literally watch the numbers like a hawk but so far things look like they are improving at least in the area we plan on getting married. We're from NYC so at this point, we are just being cautious, the guests who can make it are all super excited and the ones who couldn't (mostly due to us rescheduling it once already) are sad they can't come. Also we have 40 people which isn't a crazy amount. I would just do what makes you comfortable at the end of the day!

We should be doing what is the best for our world at this point, not whatever makes us feel comfortable. I am super bummed out about moving my November Jamaica wedding.....I do understand that we want our day and life needs to move on, however,

“ The White House is floating a theory that travel from Mexico may be contributing to a new wave of coronavirus infections”

“ COVID-19 cases are currently rising in nearly half of states across the country, according to an Associated Press analysis. That includes Arizona, where hospitals have been told to prepare for the worst, and Texas, which now has more hospitalized patients than ever.”

Also consider for you own sake, and the guests, that if anyone arrives in Mexico and are checked for a fever, and have a fever, you would have to quarantine....in Mexico.

I need to do my part to help stop the spread of covid by avoiding non essential

My heart goes out to all the people that have had to postpone, cancel, or change their wedding.

View Quoted Comment I think everyone is entitled to making their own choices. I pushed my wedding back twice already and I’ve been planning for two years. Cancun is opening up right now and their cases aren’t as high as somewhere like Mexico City. I lowered my list of people who are attending and my thought process was there is no guarantee that there won’t be a second wave later on. So like I said I think being aware of everything and making sure wherever you plan on getting married and the resort you plan on having your guests stay at is making the proper precautions. I understand either way and if you don’t want to deal with all the added stress of it then push it back! But I’ve seen many people even here still pushing through with their 100+ weddings in the states where they are open but the cases keep rising. Be alert that’s all you can do.

Everyone is entitled to their own choices, I am sorry to hear you had to postpone twice already. I am on postponement #1 with 2 years of planning too 😊 Sometime our choices effect other people though. I am in Canada, things are strict across our entire country. Which by the numbers our strict government is paying off, but, We have people sneaking into Canada from high risk countries 🤨 I Don’t believe anyone should risk dying because of my choices. If my mom got sick while we were at my DW and being a diabetic, she would get very sick......I would never forgive my self. Mexico is opening because the economy is dying not because covid is under control. I would be scared to be in quarantine or a hospital in Mexico as well......

being alert isn’t enough when you could be super spreader with no symptoms.

I hope you have your special day and I hope you and your close ones stay safe while away! 💕

Thanks girl I appreciate the comment. Listen as someone from the US and from a hard hit state NYC, I get increasingly frustrated and I totally get where you are coming from. You make super valid points. At the very least I plan on taking tons of precautions. And Cancun, if you look at the reports, isn't getting as hard hit as other parts of Mexico. Like NYC at the moment isn't getting hit as hard anymore like say Florida, Texas or Arizona where they are allowing gatherings. My wedding is going to be super small, and I'm flexible to the fact that it may change! But for me and for the few people I have coming, we are going to be wearing masks, social distancing etc. Who knows if in the future anyone will be able to have a "normal" wedding. And if I must move it, then so be it! At this point because of all the world uncertainty, I'm not for moving it, I would rather have a smaller wedding. I hope everyone has the wedding they want but I think everyone has to be aware that the wedding they may have had in their minds may not be the same even if they wait!
