Plan b is Complete (just in case)

Glad you were able to come up with a Plan B. I think that’s smart given what’s going on now. Keep up your positive attitude and good luck.

We are supposed to get married July 18th this year and we haven’t canceled or postponed yet...we just started reaching out to our vendors about postponing but nothing is solid yet as far as a plan B goes. I was curious on what you did for invitations? We are supposed to send ours out now and I’ve been hesitant to print them because idk if it will change and also I feel like it’s a really awful time to get a wedding invitation....did you send yours out? If so did you hear back from your guests on how they are feeling about the July date?

Hi! I may not be much help because I've only sent out save the dates so far. I haven't made my invitations yet due to this reason. I don't have many out of town guests, so I'm waiting until the first week of June to send out if I don't change my date (My wedding is the last weekend of July). I wasn't planning on sending them out this far in advance anyway... I think the wedding checklists advise to send them out way earlier than needed unless you have a lot of out of town guests or a destination wedding (just my opinion, though!). No guests have asked me, even though I sent out save the dates a few months prior. As far as plan B, all my vendors have been really understanding and have us penciled in for our backup date, but we haven't officially postponed. Hope this helps a little!

View Quoted Comment Thank you that does help! I think we are going to just have to play the invitations and the date by ear... I think we are going to see what things look like in May and go from there.

Hi Marissa,

Congrats on your engagement! I'm happy to hear of how proactive and positive you are being, given the circumstances.

I wanted to share a discussion board for our July 2020 Weddings! Hopefully, you will find some couples to connect with who are going through something similar.

We're here for you!

Sending lots of love your way.

My wedding is 7.25.20 in Napa and I have created a plan b I am excited about so I feel like besides losing money and obvious disappointing reasons- if I must postpone I won’t be as disappointed. It’s a big IF on the marriage license but if I can get that I am going to go to Lake Tahoe on my wedding day and elope with my fiancé and a few friends and pick someone to marry us. I will have the wedding when it’s safe. You have to understand that my mother has been an absolute nightmare during this planning process- she thinks it’s her wedding. I’ve cried over it way too many times. So to plan a little something with just my fiancé and I is so special and I won’t be disappointed if that’s how it goes down. Hope all goes well for you!
