November Brides

Hey there.
November 21st in coastal Virginia.
We are planning for normal since we only invited 60 people anyway and our state is supposed to go into phase three on Wednesday which allows gatherings of up to 250. If the state or venue make us change plans then we will worry about that but for now, we are finalizing all the little details.

Small wedding here. Under 50 people. Planning ahead as scheduled but have a backup date set with all vendors just in case. Trying to stay optimistic we are opening slow and its been going good here

Our wedding is November 20th, right now we are planning for that date. We just went to visit our venue and we were informed they are completely booked through fall 2021. We don’t want to change our date for over another year and a half and then November be fine. We were told we could even change the date up until we start getting replies back from invites if people seem to not want to come. So at this point, we probably won’t cancel until last minute if that’s the case. We’ve already reached out to our current vendors and they all will allow us to change the date with no fees and when hiring new ones we will ask the same questions before hiring. It’s definitely been hard for us, but this plan makes me feel a little more at ease about continuing to plan, knowing we won’t loose out on money if we get to fall and can’t continue as planned.

My wedding is Nov 14 & we are still moving ahead… our venue seats 400 & we were Only planning to invite 200. With the pandemic I expect people to self-disinvite, so I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up between 125-175 in terms of guests. We are at the age where we are ready to begin our family and postponing is the absolute last option. I live in Texas and I am so angry at how cases are skyrocketing because people aren’t taking this seriously. Even something as easy as wearing a mask has become a political issue, and now Texans are paying the price. Either way, even if we have to dial back the wedding to 25% capacity, we plan on having it. Hell, I think we would have it even if we could only invite 50 people. The only way that I see us postponing is if there is another complete lockdown in which gatherings are limited below 50 people. At that point, we would’ve paid so much in deposits to vendors that it would be a complete waste of money to go ahead with such a small wedding.

I am getting married on November 8. We have about 100 people, but I don't anticipate a large turnout. Wedding planning has been very therapeutic for me.

Nov 14 but I live in Phoenix a current hotspot so not sure what will happen
Originally I was expecting 60 but I’m thinking people are cancelling 😢

View Quoted Comment I'm positive we're gonna have people who self disinvite cuz of everything that's going on. It's definitely not what I imagined when I first started planning my wedding but here we are. 😓 We're still definitely full steam ahead tho. At this point we might as well continue it cuz at this rate corona will be here forever, & can't postpone life forever ...

I completely agree as we have to live our lives! I expect that I guess at least it saves some money on the bright side. It is a bummer a it isn't how we imaging things. I know not to take it personally, but certainly i wish it was different. I am hoping I will figure out how to have it viewable online so that I can at least offer that so people don't feel bad. I certainly don't want to make them feel guilty for deciding to not come. I respect decisions everyone makes and I know this isn't something that should be upsetting. Weddings are supposed to be happy!

I think that's the most frustrating part ... that instead of a happy planning period it's a lot of anxiety and stress. I'm full of guilt for planning on having my wedding on Nov 14, but at the same time I tell myself if someone doesn't feel comfortable coming, they will self-disinvite. I feel like I'm supposed to postpone, but at the same time I plan on having a mask-full, socially-distanced wedding so why should I postpone? Still, sometimes the guilt and anxiety can be overwhelming. I've increased my frequency of meditation and that's helped.

You don't have to . All of us that haven't postponed have already known that we will have to make changes to accommodate the regulations but everyone is aware of the change. but we all have to live despite the change and live carefully and responsibly. Let's do its right!
