So depressed.... my bachelorette party is in Nashville Tennessee in mid July and my wedding is September 12 and honeymoon follows after the wedding...

I am so sorry. I also had to cancel my bachelorette and honeymoon and postpone my wedding. I live in downtown Nashville, and everything is completely closed and dead here. We have a good number of cases here. While things will probably be a little better in July, I don’t see things being normal enough for bachelorette parties anytime soon. I think you may still be ok for your wedding. It’s too soon to tell. I feel for you, it all sucks for sure. Wishing you the best of luck!

I would wait honestly. The curve is supposed to peak soon in most states and then start to flatten. These communities will NEED our tourist money to stay in business. It's way too early to postpone these events and the economy cannot survive a forever shut down. Keep your hopes up and keep planning, you are not alone in your worries but know that worrying does not take control of a situation that is ultimately out of your hands.

I'm so sorry that you're in this situation! My advice personally, would be to figure out how to have a girls staycation at somewhere local if you had to and begin a wedding plan B and how that will look. Just to be prepared. Large cities like Nashville aren't the best places to travel to or gather right now unfortunately. This is the time to review and understand any contracts and ultimately control the controllables. While none of us can control this virus, we can control our planning and preparation to a degree. Don't be discouraged! I know it's difficult! One day at a time ❤

Ugh I'm so sorry, it's definitely the most stressful thing to deal with deciding whether or not to postpone when things are so up in the air. I think it depends, really. Like if those things are important to you (bachelorette, showers, having that traditional wedding and honeymoon) then I would potentially consider postponing OR at least looking at reserving a backup date (some venues/vendors are willing to do at least that with everything going on) that way you have a backup date in case and don't need to deal with stress later on. I would say the only reason I'd consider postponing/getting a backup date in place is bc if you truly want the typical bachelorette or the traditional wedding with a large guest list and no annoying regulations, etc. it might be best to wait until this blows over. I'd imagine quarantines would be lifted, but I think there would still be travel regulations and new wedding guidelines in place too since weddings are large gatherings. BUT if you don't care too much and your date means something or you're totally fine with new restrictions/regulations then definitely plan to keep your date and you can take things day by day! I definitely feel for you though and hoping we all get more clarity soon!

I Think You Should Wait It Out, Continue Planning As normal And Make Adjustments Later On If Theyre Needed.

I'd wait for a month or two to decide. We just booked flights to NOLA for my bach party over labor day weekend in September. The prices were too good to pass up and that was worth the chance... I'll remain hopeful until there's reason to believe this is going to continue for 5 more months.

I personally would wait a little longer to make the decision. I know it's scary and stressful. I had to completely change everything about my wedding (May 15th). But we adapt and move forward

I would maybe make the decision around mid to late May. Everything is just so fluid, so that's what we as brides have to be too (which is really difficult when everything has to be perfect! )

Wishing the best for you!

My wedding is also in September and I'm not making any decisions about postponing until mid August. My bridal shower is supposed to be on July 11th and my MOH is still keeping that date for now. We did have to postpone my bachelorette, but we are planning to reschedule that for August.

My best friend's wedding is a week after yours and she doesn't seem worried or scared. but i completely see why you would be since there's a lot of uncertainty. for now though your wedding is still far away enough to wait it out a little more

There is no way to predict this stuff any way you look at it. My fear of postponing your September date now is that things will calm down by late summer and ramp up again in the Fall after your date. That has been historically true with some pandemics. However, this is something totally new so there is no way to tell what will happen. I've been reading so much about it, and its mind boggling. When would you postpone everything to?

I'm a date twin! So far we're waiting and we'll reassess things in June/July on whether or not we postpone our wedding. Personally, I'd be fine waiting to postpone our honeymoon, but I'd be devastated if we have to postpone our wedding. I'm in Ohio and I think when we make the decision it'll be based on our guest list and where our state is at. We only have a handful of out of state guests and if needed, our guest list can definitely be cut down.


It's definitely hard to stay positive and not stress so I feel you 😭 Sending my love ❤

My bachelorette is scheduled for mid-July. All my friends are flying in from NY. I live in CO. However, they’re only staying for 3 nights. Worst come to worst, we’ll just hang out at my place and chit chat. Of course that is dependent on thing as at least improving somewhat. If they don’t then I will tell them not to come.

I am getting married September 19th in Kentucky with a July 24-26th bachelorette party planned for Nashville.


I am remaining hopeful but can’t say I’m not worried

Umm I think you should just wait, my bachelorette party is July 4th and my wedding is September 6th. I am not rescheduling or cancelling anything. It’s just way too early to make a decision. Just sit tight and wait.

You have to follow your gut in my opinion. It’s not too early for anything if that would make you feel better, & if you have a lot of money on the line with vendors that you would need to line up on a new date. you know your demographic the most & I think it depends on where you live, guest count, age, guests traveling domestic or international and if you’re okay with changes to your wedding, etc, I postponed my September wedding and feel like I can actually enjoy the wedding planning process when it’s time again versus the stress of something so huge this year. Good luck 💛

Agree with you 100%. It was getting wayy to stressful not knowing for us (with recurring nightmares!) that we decided to reschedule for 2021. It is nice to know we have more time to plan and pay things off versus trying to plan through this pandemic, and being stressed up until the day arrives.
