Hey girl! I am in your shoes almost exactly. We are 10/10, most people coming from out of town. I just made a post a little while ago about our situation to see what people thought but I haven't gotten a lot of feedback yet.

We have a backup date for April of next year and are going to wait until July to decide, but honestly, it's really hard. I think there is a decent chance we could have it because stuff is opening up, but I'm not sure if it would be "unsafe".

View Quoted Comment I am preparing for the worst too and have been thinking of a backup date just in case things aren't safe. I have heard other brides waiting until as late as August to make a decision

Hi Trisha,

I'm so sorry you are going through this! I have provided a few discussions below that I think might help.

Covid-19 Sucks! Any October brides postponing for 2021?

Things are changing daily, so keeping the lines of communication open is important. That way, you can make decisions in a timely fashion.

Good luck!

Hi Trisha! Have you had any conversations with your guests? My wedding is 10/11/2020 and while my family is here and doesn’t need to travel, all of my fiancé’s family will! Our wedding is on the smaller side so we have had conversations with all of them. I suggest reaching out to your guests to get a feel for their thoughts! Do what’s best for you after you have some insight from your guests. They will understand your concern.
