June 2020 brides: freaking out?

Our date is June 12th. FH keeps telling me things will be fine by then... but like everyone else, I've put so much thought and effort into this. I just want our magical day to happen. How are my fellow June brides feeling?

    My date is June 6! I’m trying to stay positive cause my whole family keeps saying everything will pass by then but I’m still worried about it. Really hoping everything will pass ASAP for everyone to still have their big days as well as everyone to be healthy.

    We are June 6th too! We literally just sent out our invites the week before and are so worried we are going to get a lot of declining responses. But we’ve reached out to our vendors and aside from our tasting and my makeup trial being postponed everything else still seems to be OK. Bridal shower may be rescheduled and bachelorette May be rescheduled but at least for now we are staying positive about. It’s so hard but at least we have some time!

    June 6 for us. I’m heartbroken. Seeing a lot of couples canceling from now all the way up to June. I have waited 10 years for this. I cannot imagine moving the date or having the wedding during another time of year. It would ruin everything I’ve spent a year planning. We have so much money tied up in this and the unknowns are terrifying. My shower & bachelorette are mid April & will likely be canceled. I’m so upset about this because it’s finally my turn to be celebrated & it’s no surprise that this is the card I’m being delt. As you can tell, I am gutted by this. I don’t mean to sound selfish. I know I’m not alone in this & my heart breaks for every couple in this situation. I don’t have a plan right now. None of us do. But if any of you in June have advice or can update on your plans, I’d love to hear it. Peace to you all 💕

    I'm originally scheduled to walk down the aisle on June 6th, but with all that's going on I think we're pushing back to Oct. There's no evidence the heat will stop the virus and my medical background doesn't have much hope for this just blowing over. My FH and I just decided we'd rather not put our families in a situation where they have to decide whether or not they want to risk it. We've been planning for 2 years, so what's a couple more months? Lol 😅

    We are also 6/6 and growing increasingly anxious. We contacted our venue about options and they said they would allow us to change the date to any available date this year or next. We have not contacted other vendors yet- trying to hold off 2 more weeks before making any decisions. We did send out invites last week though. We are supposed to go to Italy for our dream honeymoon on 6/8 (which is already paid for too- ahh)! I’m starting to get more heart broken about cancelling that trip. What’s everyone doing about honeymoon plans at this point ?

    June 27th, everything is pretty much DIY aside from officiant, our photographer, and catering. Having ceremony/reception at a family private location. And we will be maybe 75ppl max. I'm not too worried yet. If anything we may need to reschedule our Honeymoon which would be after the 4th of july to FL till the 11th.

    I hope this is true. My wedding is in the Florida Keys, and so far the amount of cases here have been pretty slow all things considered so there may be some truth to that.

    Our wedding date is June 26th and as of now my venue is only postponing weddings until May 1st. So we are still okay for now. But we have to ordered the invites soon. Don't want to spend money and then reorder new ones with our new date. Hoping for the best at this point. Trying to stay positive.

    June 20th is our date! I’m not trying to stress to much. Our original plan was if the virus was still bad, postponing the wedding and just doing parents, grandparents, and siblings that day and doing the wedding later. But unfortunately Delaware is not giving out marriage licenses until the state of emergency is lifted. 😫😫 I have no idea what we’re going to do now

    I would still send them but maybe put a little print out in them explaining that if the virus is still bad the wedding will be postponed or whatever you’re going to do! That’s what I might do!

    I would wait until mid April to make any decision. Our venue told us it will be determined by the state if we need to postpone due to the dates.

    Hello, my fellow June brides,

    I contacted our wedding venue to see what their thoughts are on the policy. They told us that as of right now they are only postponing March and Aprils weddings. So we do have hope that this will be no longer and issue by June. We are trying to stay positive as best we can. Also reach out to our vendors and let them know. Our venue said if our date is effected we do have the option of picking a second date. Contact your other vendors to let them know. We want to keep our date but understand we might have to change. I heard places are offering Thursday weddings too. That might be an option instead of picking a date next year. We both don't want to wait another year. After having been engagement for 1.5 years. We are more than ready this year if possible. Stay strong everyone and we will get through this together.

    Our wedding is June 13th and I’m conflicted on what to do. I was going to order my invites last weekend but then schools started closing so I decided to hold off. My venue is confident that we’re ok to continue but I’m still on edge. How long do I hold off before deciding to postpone?

    This is what I was going to do for our invites. My question is, if we do postpone..I see it’s recommended now they you send a change the date notice. Does that mean all new invites would need to go into again too, or would you just contact each person directly?

    6/20/20 bride here! (I love this date, and I really hope it works out!)

    My venue is amazing and is offering to hold a second date for my wedding. If we can't have the wedding on 6/20, they offered me 10/31 (honestly also a pretty wonderful date, complete with a BLUE MOON) - I'm now waiting for a response from my top priority vendors to see if they are available on the alternate date. I don't know what I'll do if they aren't, but I guess I'll deal with it when it happens. I'm still crossing my fingers for all of us, but the current social distancing measures (and lockdowns in some cities) are making it hard to keep planning and accomplishing all those pre-wedding tasks! We got this! Raising a glass to you all!

    Thank you for the info on Minted, that’s really helpful to know! That’s where our invites are from (June 27th), and I’ve been worrying about that added cost if we have to postpone.

    June 27th bride here and I’m worried, especially since we’re in Seattle where things are pretty intense right now. We’re in wait-and-see mode for the moment - our menu tasting is at our venue in mid-April and whether/how plans have to change for that may be a good indicator about our wedding in general. Right now it’s sounding like we might be okay, but I would expect our guest count to go down since I think it will be tough for people to plan far enough ahead to get here (most of our guest list is coming from out of town). I think we may go ahead as long as our venue is able to be open, and expect possibly a smaller crowd than we initially planned for.


    Most of our vendors have already reached out to let us know they’ll work with us whether we keep our date or need to look for a new one, which is a relief. Worst-case scenario, if we have to postpone until next year, we’re thinking we’ll do a small courthouse ceremony later this year when our families can be there and make the venue wedding the big celebration with everyone whenever we can.
    As my fiancé keeps reminding me, we are getting married - how, when, and where are ultimately details, and we can throw the party we want to celebrate with our loved ones any time.
