How to Plan during Covid-19??

I’m kinda in the same boat wedding is 8/1/20 and not really sure what to do if this continues. Just pray ppl sit down for a week or 2 so we can start to see covid-19 settle down a bit. Maybe continue planning, online or Pinterest, that way when it’s over your ready to rock. (I’m just trying to stay positive!!!) I’m with you though!!!

I’m in the same boat. I haven’t even started dress shopping yet. I’m praying that by mid April the stores open and I can finally start looking for my dress.

That's a good Idea. I'm going to try to stay away from all negative people & media so I can focus.

My wedding is May 23, and I am right there with you. We are supposed to send out invites next week and I can’t decide if we should. I really want this to be ok by then, but I feel like I won’t be. I’m purposefully staying off of FB and IG to avoid being bombarded with bad news and it’s really helping my mental state. Honestly, I would just keep pushing for your date until mid-April when we have a better idea how things are. Stay strong love!! And best of luck you to!!

Right there with you! Also 5/24/20 bride! I feel for you! Our venue and vendors have confirmed we are still a go but things are changing so fast who knows 🤷🏾‍♀️ ... praying for you and with you! ❤️

Hi there, I'm May 30th and I totally agree about invitations. We were gonna send ours next week, they are ready to go (except for closing the envelopes). But I'm really worried about sending them and then immediately having to send an update that the whole thing is postponed. Plus I keep thinking maybe I can salvage the envelopes and details cards and just have to buy new invitations if we postpone (or am I overthinking it??).

I am going to wait til April 1 to make any sort of decision, but that's the latest I would want to send invites since I told people to respond by April 25. If anyone has any advice about that, I'm open to it! Hang in there everyone.

May 24 bride, too! We are waiting until next Saturday to really make a plan -- that's the end of this 15 days to slow the virus. We should have a better picture then. Maybe you could delay your invites for a week -- especially if you sent save the dates.

I feel this so much. We are trying to elope now after our April 23rd wedding got canceled. I am scared to move forward. Today, we went to look at flowers for an at home ceremony. I was depressed, scared, mad, angry. The emotions are way too much. I also am fearful that we will put effort into a ceremony and then the state will be shut down, policed roadways, and no food to even celebrate. Even planning a real celebration down the road will be scary. I am fearful of more money lost, something else going wrong, etc. I never thought in a million years that we would shut down the country like we are.

I am right there with you as well, our wedding is 5/9/2020 and I’m freaking out. I am so stressed and not sure what to do. Everyone as of now is good to go but anything can happen. I’m most nervous for a state lockdown cause the. We really can’t get married on our day if it occurs during the lockdown. But I’ve already sent invites out so I’m hoping our day still happens. I would hate to postpone. If anything we would still get married on that day then do a big party at the venue later on. But it kills me thinking about that but it’s hard to try and plan all this cause information is coming in each day and things are changing all the time with these circumstances. I just can’t help but stress😫

Like anyone else just cry? 😫 I have been having so many meltdowns due to this and I just feel so scared and depressed. I know theirs a world pandemic occurring so there are more serious issues in the world than my wedding being ruined but I only plan to do this wedding ordeal once and I just want the day to be perfect. And I’m just mad that this crisis is taking it away from me. Sorry I just needed to vent... 😂

No, I feel the same way. It's like I wanted this day to be as less stressful as possible but this whole situation adds x10 stress. I have been planning this for 3 years & it hard to act happy in times like this. don't get me wrong I know its all about the marriage but my hubby and I wanted this day to be perfect.

View Quoted Comment Yes exactly! Like everyone is telling me it’s about getting married to the one you love and I’m all for that but I still want this day to be perfect and spent with our friends and family. It’s sad

I think we’re all right in there with each other, girls! We are supposed to get married May 22, but I have this terrible feeling that it won’t be better by then. To make matters even more difficult, my fiancé is immunocompromised so we also have to think about that. The wedding has been such a light at the end of the tunnel for us, so it’s crushing to think about having to reschedule. I know my friends and family are trying to make us feel better when they suggest rescheduling and that at the end of the day, it’s about our love but it is still a really bitter pill to swallow that we may not be able to go through with our plans on May 22.

I don't even want to think about rescheduling we sent out invites everyone RSVP'd. I hope all this works out well for us brides. I can't imagine how you & your FH must feel with his condition. I hope everything works out for you guys & my prayers are with you guys

A lot of stores are doing free shipping both ways now. I know that doesn't help for alterations and stuff like that.

I am so sorry to hear your wedding got canceled. I know planning for the future is so scary right now with the coming weeks/ months being uncertain due to this world crisis. I have just been try to stay off all media & have been surrounding myself with love & I feel a much better. Keep planning taking things one day at a time

You are not overthinking. To save money I would send them out. If anything changes, call or message guest with updates. I have told my guest what I know . & that is The wedding is still happening on the date we set. & if anything changes they will be the first to know. I sent my invites out last month and got all the reply's back. I made an statement on our website that we will take extra precaution during the wedding & told people to let us know & stay home if they are sick.

Thanks I agree being off media the past couple days has been great. My FH & I decided we are going to try to do all we can in planning for the wedding. & worst case we have to reschedule it would give us more time to save for a better longer honeymoon because after all of this we will really need it.

My wedding was also scheduled for May 30th :'( I think it is safe to wait a little bit to move it, but in my case a large part of my family was travelling from other countries and I didn't want to risk not having them here. I just confirmed with most of the vendors that it is moved to November 14! it seems so far away now. At least I was in the process of ordering the invitations so I didn't have them yet. Now I am trying to figure out how or when to send new save the dates. Good luck to you! I hope by the end of the next couple of weeks we all know more.

We just spoke with our venue & they think it would be safer to postpone & move to another date. I already sent out invites. today make 2 months from when we were suppose to get married. I Just can't ! But im tying to look on the bright side, at least we are almost done planning & we will have more time to perfect details we were stressing about. I wish you the best of luck with your wedding planning. I hope this gets easier for us.
