What Are You Doing

My best friend is a sept wedding that I’m MOH for and she’s just inviting everyone she wants because she knows a good chunk won’t be able to come since already half of her list is out of state.

View Quoted Comment Thanks ! Where is her ceremony/ reception... is it open? Mine isn’t even open yet 😠

View Quoted Comment She’s in Arizona where the spike is high so we are hoping that things will be ok by the time it’s her wedding date. I think her venue is open though

Same plan. Intimate ceremony with two friends so even if things go crazy we should be good sure to low numbers. My venue is a bed and breakfast. The only downside would be no rooftop canopy dinner if things were to close down but I am having all back up plans. We're good doing take out at my house if I had to or at the bed and breakfast.

Oct 24, in rural NC. I’m still planning everything the way I originally wanted to plan it. As we get closer, I’ll make more decisions. My ceremony is outside, and the seating is built-in amphitheater seating, but there’s a huge hill of grass behind that if guests feel they need to be more distant. I‘love consider hand sanitizer at the buffet. Having my food helpers wear gloves. I’m not planning to require a mask, but guests can wear one if they like. I have an indoor reception hall booked right next to the amphitheater, but there’s nice space outside if the weather is nice, I’d like to have most of the reception outside (lawn games, dancing, lots of space to spread out), with only food and some socializing inside.

Im just waiting on the governor to release the guidelines for phase 4 (weddings included). i dont think i will need to cut my guest list as its already quite small. none of the guests have really said anything, theyre just anxious to find out if we can have it

I am in WNY, Sept 12 2020 and we are scheduled for a go with no limits as of right now, our guest list was always at 90 but most are still saying they are going to be there. All local as well so that probably helps but I’m thinking we will have a handful less (people may have plans or whatever naturally). Ceremony and reception both at the Foundry Suites in buffalo. We weren’t going to do save the dates but we did (few months back) and I put a little note in there how we are monitoring the virus and doing what’s best for guests. Hopefully all goes well!

Ours Is Oct. 17th And Nothing Has Changed. Ceremony Will Be Outside And Reception Inside. 60 Guests. Some From Out Of Town. Buffet Style Dinner.

Our’s is the beginning of October. I’m mailing out invitations in a week. We’ve added an insert explaining that we are having a smaller wedding so guests know and aren’t as nervous and to know that we are taking measurements to ensure safety and will also reevaluate/reschedule if necessary.

We also have to limit our intimate guest list even more to meet the 50% occupancy requirements of our state & venue, so we will also explain that at this time we are having an adults only wedding and asking singles not to bring a +1 to keep our guest list within limits.

We're still a go for 10/10/20. We have no plans to postpone even though our destination wedding is in the Keys and Florida is once again a hot spot. All we can do is hope for the best and keep planning. I will not stop until I'm told otherwise.

View Quoted Comment The fact that our hotel/venue is still closed (with only a projected reopening) was one issue we had, in addition to a number of other realities that made us postpone our 10/10/20 destination wedding in Vegas. FH and I and all our 65 guests needed to travel there for the weekend. So we decided against dealing with guidelines on guest count, not being able to dance/mingle etc. It all went against the reason why we planned a fun wedding weekend in Las Vegas. Our plan was to order invitations and send them mid-August. But now I will be sending “change the date“ cards next month for October 2021 instead.

We are getting married August 22 in southern Wisconsin. We have just sent our our invites a couple weeks ago and have a mix of local and travelling guests. So far of the 158 people invited, we are at 56 confirmed yes, 4 declines, and about 100 still waiting but our deadline isn't until August 1st so there's that. We didn't make any changes to the guest list or the plans themselves with the exception of having hand sanitizer stations throughout the venue. It's an outdoor ceremony and a half indoor/half outdoor reception in a big show barn.

View Quoted Comment Is your reception already completely open? How many people are they letting you have. Also what phase are you guys in for the virus? I’m just worried because my venue isn’t open so I do not want to send out invites until it opens so we are backed up as of right now I what to do

We were planning get married in August with a whole lot of family. Now instead, we are eloping next week to a state park with just a couple friends as witnesses. My parents aren't exactly happy, but we will be sharing a wedding video right after and having a proper reception next year once a vaccine is widely distributed. I have a lot of elderly relatives and no way do I want to risk their health. But I also won't let COVID19 stop me from getting married! We are honestly quite excited and I think the wedding will turn out to be just as wonderful. We get to celebrate twice!

We got married on June 19, our originally planned date in a small ceremony (10 people). As of now, we postponed the big celebration to next summer. When we made the decision to postpone, I hadn’t sent out invitations yet, so I sent out “Change the Dates” instead.

We got married June 20th with 12 people. We never sent out the invitations so we sent an email saying we cancelled the wedding due to current restrictions and wanting to keep everyone healthy and safe and we attached a virtual invitation saying Love isn't Cancelled and invited everyone to watch via zoom. It was really nice. We live in an old Victorian house with a big wrap around porch which we got married on. It turned out perfect and our friends and family who weren't there told us they still felt part of the day!

Venue is in Simi Valley, CA. We eloped on our originally wedding date of June 20, 2020 with our pastor and one witness and our wedding photographer. And I mean truly eloped in secret. My in-laws don't know. Only my two best friends and my single-parent mother know. We sent out change the date cards already for our new wedding date of October 16, 2020. Since we are already married, October will be our wedding celebration where we will publicly declare our love for each other, wear our respective wedding attire, exchange rings, and say our personal vows to each other - all things we did NOT do when we eloped on Saturday. Our elopement was very simple and quick. Just said standard vows and signed the papers. We are moving forward with October and whoever comes comes, but I'm just ready to have my wedding. Our guest list was never very big. About 115 people, but we did downsize to about 100 guests now. Our venue is outdoors, and it's a very large property with plenty of room to spread out. I am not worried about the virus in October.

View Quoted Comment We are pretty much open. I have to go this week to sign an updated contract with my reception venue and get the new requirements. They said I'd be fine with my 160 person guest list. They mentioned having signs about social distancing and have sanitizer stations and that the guests will have to sign a waiver basically saying they aren't holding us or the venue responsible if they got sick. Basically just a piece of paper next to the guest book... nothing super formal from my understanding. No mask requirement so far... can still dance...

Our wedding is August 28. That’s our backup date since we had to postpone our May 28 wedding. Our venue coordinator gave us the green light on everything a couple of weeks ago, so we don’t have to change anything except the date. Our honeymoon is up in the air though

California wedding for aug 15. We have a 50% capacity OK'd by the church so we are at least having a ceremony For Sure.
My venue is still up in the air since we are in a stricter county. Our reception is outdoors so I'm crossing my fingers that we can still have it even at a lesser capacity. If not, we are getting married in a beach town so the plan will be to head to the beach once the pictures are done. We already decided we want to be married so we had planned an elip.ent at my reception venue if worse comes to worse.
