June Brides ! Are you postponing?

My Wedding is set for July 17th!! I am stressing, but also waiting it out. I am trying to wait until May 17th, 2 months before our wedding to make a decision on what to do next. I would just hate to jump the gun to fast and be disappointed if we could have had our wedding! By the way great date, that is also my birthday!

I’m also June 6th and I’ve been stressing more and more each day. Yesterday we pretty much decided to do an elopement with immediate family and wedding party only (about 30 people) and the big party a year later. I expect things will be a lot better by June, but not well enough to have our original wedding with nearly 100 people. I think 30 people will be reasonable. And if it’s still not okay to have 30 people together by then, we’re just going to do parents only (about ten people between us, parents, and officiant). I had my heart set on June 6th, and I’m also still a little nervous that by the fall, theres no way of knowing what could still be happening (though I expect it to be better). I was ready to get married so I said...let’s just do it! We’ll party later.

6/27 here, we pushed to 9/6 since it was available. Only one vendor won’t refund our money, everyone else was super cool!

We married on Monday and postponed the celebration to June 8th so I’m hoping June will be okay! Good luck to you and all the decisions and planning 💕

I am June 6th too (Date Twin!) we are still planning as normal with hopes that all goes well on that day. We had a small wedding anyway and rather than postponing to be in the same situation since this virus is unpredictable, we are going through with our date even if it’s just us and immediate family ❤️

I think it will depend where you're located. Some states already have social distancing measures in place until June 10...I would probably think about postponing sooner rather than later. So sorry that you have to go through this

I am June 13th! We were thinking about postponing just until the end of July to “buy” 4-6 more weeks and hoping by end of July things are much better! If not, we would have to postpone a year until next June. We wanted to start a family, so I didn’t want to postpone. So stressful! And I don’t know what the right decision is!

View Quoted Comment I am looking at postponing ours until July 17th! Fingers crossed for both of us!

View Quoted Comment What states have social distancing in place until June 10?

I am in the EXACT same boat as you. My date is supposed to be June 27th and our plan b is July 25th. We wanted to start trying to start a family by end of the year and I really dont want to put that off longer. My guess is by our dates, they will start lifting social restrictions so by mid April I am going to send out an email with a a few scenarios to the guests... one of which is to downsize the wedding to close friends and family only. I may not even send out formal invitations at that point (haven't done that yet, been waiting). Let me know what you think. If you want to bounce ideas off each other let me know!

Same here - it's been a relief seeing other brides in the same position! We have a 6.13.20 wedding planned are most likely going to still get married and do our reception June 2021 - even if it's just us because we wanted to start a family ASAP as we are both in our mid-30s.

View Quoted Comment Thats exactly what I was thinking. I just feel that even if the restrictions are lifted in June some family may still be scared to go. We have some people out of state that were supposed to be coming and I don’t want them to feel like we’re being selfish not pushing the date back for them to be able to go.

Yeah it's definitely awkward and not the best situation. Maybe we could say something like "if you do not feel comfortable coming even with guest number being restricted, we completely understand." We could also somehow communicate the difficulty, emotionally and strategically, of moving such a large event to a later date. I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is, but moving the wedding is a decision (and a difficult one) that us as future brides have to make alone, given the circumstances.

Yes fingers crossed for sure!! I know so many brides are dealing with so much and hoping for the best! Prayers out to everyone and I hope we all end up with the wedding of our dreams!

View Quoted Comment I had already ordered invitations (but not sent out). Shutterfly is being amazing and offering the full cost of my original invitations in credit towards new ones. We are going to wait until May to make a decision. I think if July cannot happen, we are going to wait until summer 2021. As teachers, we really don’t have any “vacation” days besides summer. We also talked about starting a family but we postponed our dream vacation to next summer anyhow (Italy, London, Greece). So I think we would wait until after that to have kids anyhow. I completely understand though! It’s a crazy situation. We didn’t send out change the date cards or anything. Just sent a text/email to all guests.

View Quoted Comment I am in the same boat! 33 now and turning 34 in July. I get it completely. It’s stressful and the “right” decision is whatever makes you and your future husband happy

View Quoted Comment Glad you mentioned Shutterfly, I’m in same boat (June 27) and invitations sitting in my living room. Talking about options and likely make decision next week of what we will do. My mind changes by the hour!
