Fall 2020 Brides- To Postpone or Not???

10/24/2020 here, we are moving forward. Everyone’s situations and reasons are different, you have to think what’s best for you two. I’m in contract so I can’t cancel or postpone without a hefty fee, I’m ready to start a family soon, my parents are getting older, and I really don’t want to wait another year or two in hopes of the virus going away. We aren’t sure if things will be even better, it’s all speculation.


It’s either cut the guest list (which you don’t want) and have the wedding or postpone and hope things improve next year to have the big wedding of your dreams.

10/10/20 Here for the Keys and we have not plans to postpone. I think the best you can do is hope for the best and cut the list (even if that's not what you want)

We are planning to go ahead with our November 2020 wedding. I made the decision last week to move it from our venue to our officiant’s church, that he had previously offered. My state has the most restrictions of all 50 states so we aren’t even sure gatherings will be allowed in November but we’re keeping our fingers crossed. We will stream it if we have to since none of our family and friends are in our state. FH is also military, his leave has been approved for November, so we’re just planning to keep our date, regardless of the size of the ceremony.

We’re currently still going ahead with our November 21st wedding in coastal Virginia. We had already started small with 60 people invited before COVID-19 came along. However, most of them are coming from other states (PA, CT, CO, TN).
Two family members canceled their full wedding and reception for August and September.
My moh might not come if the numbers don’t improve, which was not so subtly shared yesterday. At least 4 other guests won’t be coming due to health issues or travel expenses.
I’m not even looking at canceling or postponing until early September (right before I need to send invitations). But if we can’t have our planned wedding, then we’re just going to go to the courthouse and be done with it.

We were 10-4 and postponed to next year. We had 200 people from 14 states and majority were high risk with age or health issues. We are also in Southern California which has the highest number of cases in the us practically. So we postponed and are doing a small backyard ceremony this year so we can legally get married and having the big wedding with everyone next year. Good luck girl!

We're still planning for our wedding on 10/10. I'm in northern CA and will be getting married in a rural county with low cases. I'm inviting about 50 guests, but anticipating 35-45 to show. I'm thinking to also have the option to livestream the ceremony for my out of state guests, so they'll still be part of the day. And with this option, I'm kind of hoping guests will just watch the livestream so less guests will show up haha. I was also thinking about postponing the reception to next year, and just eloping somewhere, but there's no guarantee that 2021 will be better. Our plan b is to have a small ceremony in our backyard if we have to.

We actually decided to go head and postpone our 10/10 date to 5/30/21. Our state is considered an hot spot and with the decisions our state is making I didn't see a decrease in the near feature. I kept thinking on my family, friends, and vendors and I just ultimately want them to be safe and healthy.

Keeping our 10/10 date in NJ but moving everything outdoors unless we're allowed to be indoors by then. Uninviting anyone from states that will need to quarantine for 14 days so for us no guests from California, Georgia, North Carolina, and Florida. We should have around 100 or less even though we can have up to 250 outside.

10/24/20 bride here, We are getting married Tahoe, Nevada side. We are from SoCal though. I am hoping we can keep our date but this whole back and forth is stressing me out! I hope we can keep our date even with a smaller guest list, I am wanting to start a family soon. I 'm hoping things turn up for us in the next few months.

We had to cancel our international destination wedding in May since the islands (and world) were shut down. We have rescheduled to September... and only because the groom’s mother is end-stage cancer and most likely will not make it to 2021... I am full of anxiety as I have been for the last six months. States are starting to phase back and shut back down. If it weren’t for the future mother in law, we would be postponing until 2021. Good luck ❤️
