So I live in New York and our wedding is 10/31/21. The governor just announced we will be able to have 150 guests and every guest must get tested beforehand.

So I live in New York and our wedding is 10/31/21. The governor just announced we will be able to have 150 guests and every guest must get tested beforehand. The thing is we had an original number of 200 and we were able to cut it down to 184 people. We already know people will not come because of COVID and probably the fact that they would have to test to come. When looking at the guest list, the most we could possibly cut it down to again is around 174. Most of the guest list is family that lives in the area, and the bridal party (34 ppl because every bridal party member has a significant other). Then we have about 28 people we can invite within the 150 mark that are outside of that. But the rest of the people we are both close with and see/talk to a lot we won't be able to invite. Should we still invite all 184 assuming people will decline? Or should we stick to the 150? What happens if I invite all of them and we are over the number? Ahhh!

    And if she was to go over the 150 person limit its extremely unlikely that the venue will risk their business to bend the rules for her.

    It's 50% capacity up to 150 guests. So you could have 150 guests if your venue holds 300 guests. You should ask the venue what your new number is. We had 120 guests originally but now with 50% capacity we could have 85.

    Our number is 150, it went from 50 to 150 after Gov. Cuomo changed the restriction
