Possible postponing

I am still getting married on my date and postponed the larger celebration to next year as well. We decided to just have a very small ceremony outside at our wedding venue this year (25 people max). Our venue luckily has been very flexible so we ordered some cheaper food from an outside place to have delivered that day! It was definitely not ideal to pay for 2 parties. But eventually we realized that this day will be our actual wedding day and want it to be as special as possible.

Hi Emma! I’m August bride and our venue worked out a large tent outdoors and we moved our ceremony outdoors as well. Invited 160 and about 100 are coming. I’m in PA so outdoor weddings allowed under 250. We have come to accept the pros such as: 1. Our closest family and friends will be there, 2. Happy to put wedding planning behind us, 3. More quality time with each guest, 4. Our vendors are going to be swamped next year so we get a lot of their attention as for some their only wedding this summer, 5. We don’t know when this pandemic is going to end and may get worse in winter. Is your venue allow outdoor space? It was a game changer for us.
I completely understand what you are going through as a fellow COVID bride ❤️ Hope this helps and just remember to make the decision that’s best for you and your soon to be husband 🥰🌺🥂

I have already postponed once and we are 1 week away! If something happened in the next 7 days, i have to be honest. I’m done. Getting married either way and moving on with life.

My fiancé and I are doing our ceremony in October and the wedding in March. We will still be doing a “ceremony” at the wedding because I’m October most people won’t be there. You could always do dinner after the elopement ceremony and have people pay for their own meals. Especially if it’s an intimate gathering

View Quoted Comment Sadly our venue does not have an outdoor space 😔 this is so hard with all of the uncertainty of what will happen next year. It'll all work out eventually ❤️

We postponed the reception we had planned at our venue to next year and we're getting married outside of my parents house next month. I do think you need to feed people/allow them to celebrate with you after the ceremony, but it doesn't have to be a whole THING if you don't want to pay for a second party. If you really want something simple, after the ceremony you can stay at the park/house and do a toast with some socially distanced drinks and appetizers/desserts and then call it a day.
