Multiple weddings in one year!

Sorry if this is super long and maybe a bit of venting and rambling 😬

So my brother is getting married Oct.2021, and my cousin is having her reception Nov. 2021. Ideally I was hoping to also get married in 2021 before this covid thing, but I don't really want to have my wedding in the winter because of weather ( Ohio weather is so unpredictable with snow lol) so maybe May or June 2021.
Or am I better waiting until May or June 2022? We have already been together for over 11 years! So by then it will be 13 years lol

But does that sound tacky to plan for May or June 2021 when I know that many of my family members will be attending two more wedding a few months later (Oct and Nov) .
I also thought about pushing earlier into 2022 winter (like Jan-April) but like I said I'm nervous about weather but still that would be closer to the other two weddings, but just the last wedding vs being the first wedding.
Side note: I found an all inclusive venue that includes venue, food, alcohol, dj, photographer for under $6,000. So all we would need is like our clothes and some smaller details so less than a year would be fine.
Another side note: I thought it was amazing that I could get all that stuff included for 6,000 but I'm wondering could I do my whole wedding for under 6,000 if I find all my venders individually, but would I loose my mind trying to plan this for May or June 2021?

    I totally feel you, we are planning for May 2021 (since before covid) and have a friend's wedding early June, FH's sisters wedding late June, FH's best friends wedding in August. The latter two were rescheduled from this year due to Covid and I think it makes a lot of sense. Just go ahead and plan for the date that makes sense for you!
    We are going with an all inclusive too and I think it's a great way to stay on budget with low stress.

    I agree with pp it makes sense to go with a date that works for you! Even if you chose Jan 2022 it’s still so close to the date of your sibling and cousin anyway so I would go for spring 2021

    I think have a few months space is fine. My cousin was originally supposed to get married May 9, but it’s been rescheduled for Aug 1, 2020. My wedding is scheduled for Oct 24, 2020 and none of us feel like this is a problem. I will say that my cousin is inviting more just immediate family whereas I’m inviting immediate and great aunts and uncles. Last I heard one of my cousins was going to marry her girlfriend in July, but nothing has ever been made official with invites or anything so I don’t know if they’re inviting anyone or even if they’re still having it.

    Absolutely not tacky at all. Choose the date that works for you. As long as you're not one week apart from your cousin or a few weeks apart from your sibling, I think you'll be just fine.

    My family has three weddings this year. My cousin and his FW were supposed to be June 20 but postponed to August 8. My aunt is getting married September 26 and our wedding is November 21st.
    Before covid we joked that 2020 must be a good year to get married.
    We also picked our date first and yet somehow are getting married last? 😂 Go with the date that works best for you and your fiancé. And congratulations!

    I think 5 months is enough space if you went for May 2021. It's not like it's the same week! You don't like midwest winter, so why try to force a Jan-April wedding?


    Addressing your side note, go with the all-inclusive! Pre-COVID we had a lovely venue, but we had to bring in everything. The costs really add up, and it's a lot to coordinate even having a wedding planner. Our new reception is at an all-inclusive place and we're amazed at what we DON'T have to think about now! Plus we're saving so much that we can add back in some things we had to cut originally. So if it's a good venue, go for it!

    I would do spring 2021. Things are going to be cramped after all the rescheduling and a few months distance should be good enough.

    As far as the $6k goes, I do not think you can do better than that! In my area, you definitely could not. Some photographers alone in my area quote over that, so I would book it and run with it!
