i dont know what to Do😭

I Think It's Too Early To Decide. What Stage Of Reopening Is Pennsylvania In Right Now? Things Can Change Alot In The Next 4-5 Months. I Would Wait Until August And Reassess The Situation, But Until Then Plan As Normal So You Won't Have To Scramble To Get Things Done Last Minute If It Does Happen As Planned. Good Luck

It all depends on what phase your state in and what phase your state will be on by that time also each phase is diff per state with the amount of ppl. Right now it maybe to early.

What part of PA are you in?

I think you do have time to decide for October. As states open up and some even allow weddings, you will get a sense of what the risk may be this fall. If you're concerned, you may want to have a frank discussion with your venue, if you haven't already, about their 2021 availability and the rate at which dates are getting booked. Also, see if they will hold a backup date for you and how long they will hold it. You'll probably feel better having a solid Plan B.

I’m getting married in Pennsylvania on October 4, 2020. We have been keeping in touch with our venue and they’re very optimistic for fall weddings. I refuse to postpone a second time. We have 130 guests originally but if we have to end up cutting that number we are okay with it.
I would wait until end of summer to determine what happens in fall. Try to enjoy your summer if you can, continue to make your plans, talk to your vendors, and keep updated on your county’s regulations. We are in Bucks County so we are still in the red, but I think we will be alright in a few months

View Quoted Comment Currently there are 3 stages red, yellow, green.
we are in the yellow phase but numbers are still increasing and we are above our yellow parameter.
i’m more worried about limitations i don’t want to have to deal with ya know. We have put somuch time and money into everything i really don’t want to sacrifice a day we have worked so hard to make happen

View Quoted Comment We are in Northumberland county which is in the yellow but now the number of new cases is exceeding the parameters in place.
My fiancé and i have agreed that we are not willing to cut our guest count if it comes to that. we already had to cut the count off at 150 and that was very difficult because we both have very large families

I am also in PA and my date is 9/5/20. My county is still in red and doesn’t go yellow until next Friday. I do have a back-up date of 9/18/21 on hold with my venue but we have not officially pulled the trigger yet. Governor Wolf put out guidance today for “gatherings” in the green phase so I’m sure venues will be developing their own plans to comply with his orders VERY soon. I would definitely reach out to your venue. I have about 10 days to make a decision because of our room block deadline soooooo wish me luck haha 🙃

PA August 14th bride here! If it helps, Gov. Wolf stated today if your county is in green, you can have 250 people in a gathering. For me, this was a ray of hope! My county is currently yellow, but this hot, humid summer will hopefully push our counties further to green.

View Quoted Comment I did see this! However, there are still a lot of restrictions on these gatherings and he is suggesting masks, no more than 10 per table, tables spaced out, increased cleaning etc., rules for serving food/drinks etc. One thing I read even said “removal of non-essential spaces such as dance floors”!! HOWEVER, I feel like most venues will be developing their own plans based on these guidelines so I’m hoping my venue will have a clearer picture as to what a wedding will look like in green.

Our wedding is scheduled for 10/17/2020 and we are holding onto hope. It's really difficult during these uncertain times to not constantly think about the wedding and while it may bring a sense of relief to just postpone and push off the anxiety (or I know that's how I would feel) my fiance and I are waiting to make a decision until late July. We even set a specific date to decide on so we don't make any impulse decisions.

Getting married on 10/17/20 in Lancaster County. Just got an email from my venue that they should hopefully be moving into the green phase soon. Also was contemplating on postponing, but got an email from my venue that they are not moving out any dates from August on. My fiancé and I decided to see how things are in July and make a definite decision then. Hoping things are looking promising for October!
