Hey Everyone, like so many of you we had to postpone our wedding. Originally we were supposed to wed on July 11 2020 with 150 people in Rye NY, and decided to postpone till September 6th only inviting around 90 people (Figure 75 or so will actually attend) Did anyone else decide to reduce their guest list? Also, does anyone else feel anxiety about all of this? From the start we wanted a smaller wedding so the smaller guest list does not bother me, but I am nervous that the guests are still going to feel uncomfortable. It just feels like nothing will ever be the same. My venue told me all waiters and staff will be wearing masks. They will not be serving us food directly at the table and each guest has to go up and get their plate.. I don't want to postpone till next year since we already waited 2 years for this wedding, bought a house, and are ready to start our lives. - but at the same time, I don't want to have an event that feels uncomfortable.
Also, how are we supposed to greet our guests? Wave and say hi? Normally (especially in my Italian family) you hug/kiss the guests attending your wedding.. Is anyone sending a social distancing reminder in their invites? Also, we spoke to our band (We are going to Hank Lane) and asked to reduce the band size from 10 peice to 5 pieces. But my question is, do you think having. a band is stupid with such a small amount of people? Plus it is very costly and it makes me feel like its a waste..
I am just so unsure how this is going to work with everything going on, it is so confusing.
