June bride questions

Hey everyone, I wanted to get some opinions on a few things. My fiancé and I are still planning our June 20th wedding and haven’t decided to postpone anything yet. We have already decided that if our date has to get cancelled, we will not push it to a later date but have a small ceremony (less than 10 people) on our actual date and then a larger reception/party later in the year. I had already had my invites sealed and addressed prior to all of this happening but had not sent out yet. My questions are as follows:
1. Is it in bad taste to send out invites anyway despite everything going on? Will everyone think we’re crazy? Since my invites are already sealed, I have to figure out how to unseal them and possibly add a note about possibly change of plans without ruining the current envelopes.

2. Does anyone have any alternative plans for a smaller ceremony/plans for a bigger party later? Courthouse (if opened) vs small backyard ceremony are all considerations but still want everyone to feel involved at our big reception.
Thanks everyone!

Our wedding is planned for June 20 as well. My plans are exactly like yours! I am thinking of sending out invites in a few weeks. Maybe by that time, we will have more of an idea if we will probably be OK versus need to postpone. My invites are sealed already as well, and I am debating unsealing one part and adding an insert. I don't think it is in bad taste at all. I think it will make people feel more comfortable about everything as well as aware that things may change.
Our plan B is to have a very small ceremony (about 15 people, if allowed at that time) at a park and then still have a ceremony (vow renewal technically) + reception later in the year, date depending on when there are openings at our venue.

Hi Shelby,
I know this is a hard time to be planning your wedding. Thank goodness you're ahead of the game with a Plan B idea. Like you, some June brides are waiting a little bit longer to make the call, but everyone's situation is different. You also aren't alone right now! There are a ton of June brides talking about their COVID-19 concerns in these discussions:
- June 2020 brides: freaking out?
- June and July Brides do not stress Covid-19!!!
There are many resources on our website that may be helpful as you navigate the planning process: Our COVID-19 Weddings Advice Guide -- including What to Do About Your Wedding During the Coronavirus Pandemic.

Hope this helps!
