What is your thought process right now? Not only am I thinking about how the COVID-19 will affect my wedding, but how my shower on 4/4 and my bachelorette party on 5/8 will also be impacted. What is your thought process right now? Are you pushing the wedding back? Are you still going ahead with...

What is your thought process right now? Are you pushing the wedding back? Are you still going ahead with everything until told otherwise?
I would love to hear from all of you and how you're handling this trying time.

    Same here - my wedding is June 13th and I'm not changing anything ( It's 11 weeks away and we have 7 weeks left of the CDC recommendations ) . We already decided even if we have to cancel everything we are still going to get married that day - weather it's at town hall or on a beach somewhere with immediate family and friends. I refuse to give up hope yet!

    My bachelorette was supposed to be next week and was already cancelled/postponed and my shower is May 2 ( thinking of having a virtual shower ) .

    It's all such a huge bummer but I'm marrying my guy and that's all that matters.

    I was originally June 13th. We chose to move the date so that we don’t run the risk of spreading it. And also our guest list didn’t meet the 50 people group restrictions. It’s hard but I think it was for the best

    We are also June 6th. I’m having 2 showers, my first was supposed to be tomorrow and we only had a guest list of about 15 but we had to cancel because we wanted a good turn out and knew we wouldn’t have one if we had it now. My second shower is on April 25th and we are hoping to not have to move it. We also currently have no plans to change our wedding date, we are taking it one day at a time.

    Hi! I am getting married June 14th. We are still moving forward as planned, but have talked with our venue about a backup date, just in case. It feels safer knowing that I already have a backup plan, so that we're not scrambling a few weeks before the wedding to re-plan everything. Unfortunately, that backup date is a whole year out, so that would really suck. But just trying to keep positive, and plan as best we can for any scenario.

    My wedding isn't until June 7th. We are still planning on that date, but are ready to postpone if need be. I'd really hate to do so.
    We are considering getting a live stream set-up for the ceremony for those who can't make it.

    Hi Noor,


    I can see how you would be stressed out about time. If you already have a seamstress in mind but still need additional alterations done to your dress, I would say that takes about 1 month.
    As for the food tasting, if you don’t want to postpone your wedding start looking at the menus and see if there is anything you would consider getting without actually having a tasting first. Read reviews, see if they mention any of the caterers food!
    I think with your wedding being late June I would definitely wait until late April / first week of May until you make a decision.
    Regarding your honeymoon Smiley sad if you call to reschedule be careful with what words you use because I know airlines are not allowed to cancel due to epidemics. So use words like “I would like to re schedule my travel dates due to unforeseen circumstances”
    I hope this helps!

    Hi Alexis, I spoke with my mom last night and we decided to postpone the bridal shower as well! We haven't picked a date yet but hopefully in a few weeks we will be able to. Next event that we are thinking of cancelling is my bachelorette which is supposed to be the weekend of April 25th. Hopefully we don't have to cancel.
    I'm definitely trying to stay hopeful for all of the May and June brides! I hope all of this will be over by then. Thank you and good luck to you as well! Keeping my fingers crossed!

    That’s such a great idea! For food, we opted for a plated meal- however that does make it more difficult because RSVPs are a little more set in stone since we wouldnt want to pay for their meal only to have them not show up.


    Best of wishes!!

    June 6th is our date as well and I am terrified!! We have already cancelled our couples shower for April 11th and we are waiting to hear from our rental place for our bachelorette trip on May 14th. My venue hasn't reached out to say we need to reschedule or anything but I feel like it is coming any minute. I am going to wait until the middle of April to make our final decision but I really wanted to send out invites before then. This is all terrible. Several of my friends have had to cancel theirs that were supposed to be in April.

    What a great look at things! I heard a bride on the news say “we’re having a wedding to have a marriage, not having a marriage to have a wedding”


    Best of luck!

    We’re all your original vendors available and are you still able to get married this year? I’m sorry this happened. No matter what, I’m sure it will turn out great!

    Hi Alyssa! Would you guys do a small wedding on you original date? Or would you wait until next year? Also, I know your venue was available but are you planning on keeping all your original vendors too? Ie photographer.. etc. I hope you don’t have to wait until next year! Wish you and you FH the best 💕

    Hi Michelle! If you have one, talk to your videographer! I know mine sent out an email saying he would offer complementary live streaming for anyone impacted by this so that high risk loved ones could stay at home and watch the ceremony 💟

    Hi! Keep your head up girl!


    As far as invitations go, I say plan everything like you are having the wedding. With everything going on I’m sure people will understand if you had to call them with a new date, or add a little white out and sharpie to your invites 😉 in all seriousness, I hope everything works out. I already have my invitations so I know how you feel.
    I contacted my venue and vendors and right now it seems as if they don’t even want to talk to June brides because everything is changing by the minute. I say wait it out a little and then start making decisions, unless one is made for you by your venue/vendors before then.
    Thinking of you and your FH at this time! I hope everything works out.

    I would rather postpone the wedding a whole year and get exactly the wedding i want/planned. I want as many people that can be there to be there, and I want to have as many of my original vendors and plans in place, so that I can have the perfect wedding. I know its supposed to be about the marriage and not necessarily the celebration, but if I'm going to only do this once, I want it to be exactly how I want it, event if that means postponing it a whole year.

    So far my caterer, photographer, and DJ are available for our backup date which is great! Now we are waiting to hear from the florist. If they're not available it's not the end of the world.. we will have plenty of time to find a new one.

    Thank you so much!!! Smiley smile

    We are not cancelling out June 6th wedding yet, but we definitely are keeping an eye on things to see if we need to postpone. I'm not having a shower at all, and we might just end up doing my bachelorette party the Thursday before the wedding. We were going to leave for Kauai right after our wedding for our honeymoon, but we may end up cancelling that and picking a later date. This whole thing blows!
