Postponing April Wedding?

My wedding is April 24 in Florida and we're moving forward as planned. We have 100 guests on our A-list and about 20 guests on our B-list. We've only sent out the A-list invites and waiting until January to send out the B-list invites. Our venue reduced our minimum guest count to 50 instead of 75, so if only half of the invited people come we can still have our wedding. My FH and I would prefer a 50-75 person wedding, but ya know the obligation to invite certain relatives and such. Best of luck to fellow Spring brides ❤️

We’re not postponing our 4/25/2021 date, but we are only about 35 people. Our ceremony is outside, and the reception will be in a ballroom that fits 170 at full capacity - so our tables can be just 4-6 people each, with masks required when you’re not seated/eating.

I’ve heard from doctors that if a vaccine starts rolling out to first responders, it won’t probably won’t be available to the masses until March. I’m guessing it could still be an issue for several months after public gets it because it’ll take a while to get it to everyone. If my wedding, I’d push it if Jan-May 2021. Because I’d be annoyed & stressed to reschedule.

My big wedding is 3/27/21 and I'm not making a decision until late January whether we will continue or not.

At this point my fiance and I, if we do have to postpone (again), we're going to just have the ceremony in April and have the reception when things clear

As of right now we are proceeding with our wedding plans for April 3rd.
We are taking precautions with our guests.
We are going to provide face masks for the guest & their temps will be taken upon entry. If they decide not to come we have given them the option to watch us via a live stream.Hand sanitizer will be in all the high traffic areasAll of this info is listed under the “Accommodations” insert we are mailing with our invitations.Our venue has 2 floors, so hopefully ppl will distance themselves enough. The building can easily fit 500 ppl but our guest list including the wedding party is 150 pplThere are doors that open to the outside located all around the 1st floor & we plan to have them OPEN for air circulation.The 2nd floor only has 1 that I know of right now & it will be open as well

Our wedding date is April 24, 2021. I'm continuing on with my wedding regardless! I think we'll be safe, so I'm not worried.

April 10th here in downtown St. Louis, MO. We are hoping to continue on and will be sending out invites soon. We will be putting a note in the invites letting guests know that plans may change and that their safety is our top priority. IF we end up needing to postpone, we are hoping to do a very small ceremony on the original date in either a park or travel to a beautiful scene like the mountains and have just immediate family and the bridal party present. We hope to have a 1 year celebration party and renewal of vows of sorts with a larger party after the fact if we go this route.

We are soooo excited to get married that we are going to hold to our original date in April no matter what. It helps that our wedding will be outside, and we will only have 50ish guests. Small, simple, and sweet. I think that it's more important now than ever to realize what is important in your life. For us, that is making the commitment to be together forever.

Overall, we are keeping things low stress. If people don't feel comfortable traveling to the wedding, we are respecting their decision. Not putting pressure on anyone to do something that makes them uncomfortable. Keeping reception tables small and distanced. Adjusting our expectations that maybe only 25 people show up. That's ok. At the end of the day, the goal is to be married.

I feel your frustration for sure! Our date is 4/25/21 in Southern California and we are forging ahead. We almost canceled it and eloped due to the restrictions. For me the deal breaker is no dancing. If we aren't allowed to dance, I'm canceling. I couldn't imagine a wedding without dancing. I reached out to my venue and they said dancing is "strongly discouraged" but when I spoke to them in person they basically said "its your wedding and your responsibility to make safe decisions but wouldn't necessarily stop people from dancing". That made me feel better so I'm going for it. Some venues in CA are super strict and some venues have no restrictions. Mine falls in the middle. I still need to cut 25 people off my guest list of 100 which sucks because it was hard to whittle it down to 100 but its not the worst thing in the world. At this point I've already postponed once and I just don't want to do it again. I'm crossing my fingers that it will be much better by April and hopefully we can have a somewhat normal wedding.

Hi there, my wedding date is April 3. As of right now I'm carrying on, but will definitely postpone of we need to. I'll make that decision later. Our wedding is outside and we have a guest list of 95.

My wedding date is April 17, 2021, we set the date pre-COVID, so when the first shut done occurred we were hoping things would get better. Well now fast forward to today we are hoping a miracle happens and everything gets better. My fiancé and I plan to get married on the 17th of April and celebration a different time with our friends and family when it is safe.

We already postponed our original wedding date from May 2020 to April 2021. My venue is all indoors and my guest list is about 150 people. We already had a very small wedding ceremony so we are already married so this is really to have a ceremony and reception like I have always dreamed of. For this reason I am leaning towards postponing again. I figure I already postponed once and I deserve to have the ceremony and reception that I really want without feeling like any of my guests are stressed out or scared to come. I'm truly gutted about rescheduling again but I think that's what we will do. I don't think enough people will be vaccinated by April unfortunately.

NYC April 2021 Bride here. We made the very difficult decision to postpone our wedding until April 2022. After much research and looking at the trends we just feel as though we would have a better shot at having a more festive and less restrictive wedding if we could wait just a little longer. We will be eloping at the top of the new year though so we are super excited about that
Congratulations to everyone and stay safe!

I am getting married in Louisville, KY on 4/23/21 with about 70 guests. I have no plans of postponing. I did change from having the reception inside to a tent outside and I am considering asking guests to get tested before the wedding. But where do you want draw the line? It’s their option to come or not. Im hoping at least all our older guests will have taken the vaccine by then. But I’m getting married on 4/23 rain or shine, Covid or no Covid, 5 guests or 70.

Our wedding was set for 4321, but unfortunately on Wednesday we spoke with our venue and coordinator and they recommended we just push it to August. We had already paid 80% of it and they agreed to just move the date no change to the prices because they wouldn’t be able to give us the wedding we paid for. I attended a covid wedding for my cousin - because I was in it, and it just shouldn’t have happened. They didn’t get any money back when attendance was cut in half and only half the staff was hired for the event the Dj was in another room practically and you couldn’t hear anything he said. There was no dancing you stayed at your table unless you had to use the rest room and of course masks required. Which I totally get! I’m a mask wearer I know it’s for the good. I just don’t want to proceed with my wedding with those restrictions. I’d rather wait until it’s safe to do so. We are sad of course but both whole heartedly agreed if we couldn’t have everyone we loved there with no restrictions and not worried about anyone’s health then we wouldn’t do it. We did lose our dj and photographer changing the date but my mom is hard at work to get new ones lol. We weren’t attached to the 4/3/21 date, it was just a cool date so it did work out for us in the long run because the date that we did end up going with, will be our 7 year anniversary.

My initial venue deposits are due mid Jan. I’m keeping my plans, because of COVID I kept my initial invite list to 80 figuring it would be easier to pair down to 50 if needed. If they can’t have my wedding at the venue getting married with just my wedding party and parents/siblings, Probably at a state park or something similar. Marrying a farmer and I’m not willing to wait another 8 months to get married after waiting over a year.

View Quoted Comment Amen 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 4.24.21 and that’s exactly where I’m at! Wishing you the best!!

I was supposed to have a ceremony with 100 guests on April 18th 2021 but even though I’m losing $4900 in non refundable deposits, we’re eloping. We were going to honeymoon in Hawaii but now we’re adding a week onto our honeymoon and getting married there in the first week of may. I wish I could sell someone my date but I haven’t been able to.

I would talk to my vendors and consider a backup plan incase u can’t have it in April then they will hold for u until u decide when but hopefully everything works out and you are able to have it in April and I pray it will be just as you wished for it to be that special good luck
