Erin, on July 7, 2020 at 10:11 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 23
Just wondering if anyone is postponing or contemplating postponing their fall wedding. We are getting married October 24th, 2020 (it is both of our birthdays too!) What are your ideas?? How long are you postponing? Anything is welcome! Thank you Smiley smile

    Were 10/10/2020 and staying hopeful but having to send out invites has me a bit stressed. Wondering if I should add a note saying something along the lines that as of now we are planning as normal but with restrictions things can change. Really wish this virus would go away already!

    We’re at odds and trying to decide. 10/3/2020 here and so much is going on in addition to COVID. We meet with our venue this weekend so we will discuss rescheduling policies and the possibility. FH wants to postpone 6 months...I say a year as the date is really special to us. We would still elope regardless this year.

    Friends of ours were getting married on your date. They’ve rescheduled for next November.

    A friend of mine is getting married 11/7/20 and keeping her date, but her wedding will look very different than what she had planned. We put Covid stickers on her save the dates and there’s a whole area of her wedding website with information about the precautions being taken.

    Last month we decided to postpone our 10/10/20 wedding to 10/2/21. Too much going on with no significant improvements. I was very hopeful... and then I had to be very real.

    We’re 10/10/20 and still going with planning. Our venue has stayed open through all of this, they are a small bed and breakfast with a barn. And they are not limiting things, also in a smaller county with very little cases if any. Our guest list is smaller and many have already RSVP’d so we’re hoping all will be good!

    We're 10.10.20 and moving full steam ahead with our destination wedding in the FL Keys. We're planning for 50 guests and as of now no plans to change it. Our invitations go out this week.

    We're 10/10/2020 and will most likely scale down our 130-person guest list to about 30. We're thinking of just having an intimate ceremony with a nice dinner, and photos.

    In a year or two, we'll then have a bigger reception-style party for those who couldn't join us this year -- but I'm not going to be in a rush to plan this.

    We were 10/31 of this year and are postponing to 10/31 of next year. We’re doing a small ceremony this year and we’ll have the full reception next year. It sucks, but making the decision to postpone was a huge weight off my shoulders.

    Already moved from 05/02 to 10/03. Now my worries are about family members attending and intermingling. It’s a small wedding already, under 35. Going forward no matter what, even if it is just the two of us. Would like to start a family next year (l’m in my 40’s) Going to think of back up plans just in case.
    This has been such a roller coaster. 😖

    10/31 and not postponing but also have really no clue why type of event we can have at this stage. Pretty bummed about it honestly, but we are ready to have our time and then move on with our lives (and to many other friends recently engaged/likely will have 2021 weddings). We’re in NC.

    Ours Is 10/17 In Virginia With 60 Guests. We Have No Plans To Postpone Unless The Venue Makes Us And As Of Right Now We're Good To Go Without Having To Make Any Changes. Although I Would Love To Wait Til Life Is Back To Normal So We Have No Worries-I Refuse To Put A Pause On My Life Because Of It. I Will Plan Accordingly If Needed. If Guests Are Uncomfortable With Attending They Don't Have To.

    10/11/20. We decided to postpone to 10/10/21. It all really comes down to if a couple is willing to make sacrifices for a COVID wedding, or do they want to have the wedding they originally envisioned? We decided the latter. I do not want my photos ruined with face masks (sorry but they are not cute lol) and I don't want half of our guest list to not show up. It is important to us for everyone to be there. So it just seemed like the right thing to do to move it. Plus we could go into another stay at home order by then, and with so much uncertainty, its making a wedding impossible to plan. We'll get legally married this year, and celebrate next year! Smiley smile

    My date is also 10/24/20! We decided today that we are going to have a small intimate ceremony with around 30-40 people (instead of 150) with a nice dinner/reception afterwards. Then, we will have a big reception sometime next year to enjoy the company and to celebrate with our family and friends. It's a really tough decision to make (we made a pros and cons list).

    I’m having a 10/31 wedding that was supposed to be a large Halloween celebration with approximately 70 people. I am on the fence right now as to what to do. It is supremely frustrating

    We rescheduled our 10.10.20 to 06.12.21. We are absolutely heartbroken to lose such a perfect date. However, we are having a destination wedding in Colorado and at the end of the day we didn’t want to have to worry about our guests safety. We also lost out on a $6,000 deposit which hurt.... but worth the peace of mind!
