Having second thoughts on big wedding, need advice

As many others have said, these are crazy circumstances that no one else has ever had to deal with. I would not be offended if I was uninvited, especially during these crazy times - it's safer to downsize and a real friend would understand. I was also having second thoughts about a bigger celebration, so we canceled our postponed wedding entirely, and will get eloped and plan something smaller once it's safe to do so. Do whatever you want!

I would not be offended if I were uninvited from a similar event. I think you should go with whatever type of wedding you'd like, even if that means uninviting guests. I do recommend letting your guests know about your decision sooner rather than later though.

I would not be offended. You gotta do what is best for you. A lot of our hearts are broken and I can totally see where your coming from not wanting to move on with a big reception. These are crazy times, your guests would understand

My fiancée and I were supposed to get married on 10/31/20 in a wedding with about 150 guests, and had sent out our save-the-dates like a week before COVID hit. We decided to hold a much smaller celebration in my parents’ backyard, and sent an email “uninviting” the guests we could no longer accommodate. I was super nervous about it, but everyone was so gracious and understanding. You should have the wedding that you want to have. I wouldn’t sweat it.

Honestly, none of us know when a big wedding will be safe again. I would use this as an opportunity to downsize before covid makes you downsize lol

This is exactly what happened to me. We were supposed to have been married in April and of course we had to reschedule. Our venue had an opening in September and I moved all of our vendors right away. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized I do not want a big wedding at all. We are now getting married still in September but with half the amount of people, and half the cost. We will still have all of the aspects of a big wedding and at a beautiful venue. It will just be our closest friends and family, I can't wait. We had to uninvite many people but it seemed like everyone understand given the circumstances. Do what you feel is right for you!
