What has covid changed in your wedding plans?

Ugggh! Sorry you have to deal with that with all that's going on.

So far the only thing that has changed for us is our date. 10.10.2020 to 10.7.2021. Hoping that’s is it!

View Quoted Comment Thanks. I hope that things go well for you too. Good luck

Our wedding went from a June 2020 to December 2020 event. We are so lucky that all of our vendor's were able to change to the new date without hassle or extra fee's. We are hoping for the best this December, the one positive is that my children will be in online school so we can head to NC on Thursday (we live in VA and having our wedding in NC) as we had originally planned for our summer wedding and not disrupt their school week. FH and I are cautiously optimistic that by December thing's will not be "normal" but workable. We do not mind if people need to wear masks who are at risk, we also have a spacious venue so that helps with space, we can also alter our guest list down to 100 or less if we needed to do so. Our new honeymoon just cancelled as well but, my sweet FH is planning a surprise one for us over the same dates, all I will know are the important packing details such as climate and number of days we will be gone. We have been engaged since December 2018 and just want to get married and have this whole event behind us, as awful as that sounds. None of us asked for our wedding's to feel like this, it's so sad.

Yeah, this will be a year I will not forget anytime soon.

We chose June 20th 2020 in October of 2019. When Covid started to build, we decided in March to postpone to possibly September or next year. We had house remodeling disaster that included a water leak and significant structural issues which added to the madness. Then my 94 year old grandmother broke her hip late April in the middle of lockdown. So hospital, rehab, back to the hospital then rehab then assisted living. No family to see her. She finally got to assisted living and somewhat settled and we tried to schedule a small elopement there, like this month! (she's 8 hours away from us) and were going to have some very close family travel. She went back into lockdown last week. So right now, we have no plan (and still in the middle of the remodel from hell....)

2020 I am so done with you.

Still holding out hope for 10/30/2020, but our venue is able to do a soft hold on our backup date in April 2021. Luckily, our vendors have availability on the backup date and understanding about it. I am thinking to wait until end of August to decide if we should postpone or continuing planning for October. Our invites are already sent out last week, but I have made drafts of the change the date announcement card just in case. It’s a bit hard to say what will happen in the next 7 weeks. Covid has made wedding planning even more stressful!

View Quoted Comment We’re tempted to do this!

View Quoted Comment Go for it! So many venues and/or restaurants will be going out of business if a vaccine isn't released soon. Some great places to elope are Las Vegas, Wyoming and Washington DC.

We postponed ours until May 2021 and our count was about 170. I’m so ready to drop to half or less and revisiting our original theme/vision and how we wanted to go. To something LESS elaborate. I’m just so over this and just want to be married to this AMAZING guy of mine and enjoy life as best we are able to as husband and wife during this contemptuous and tedious time! Good luck everyone and CONGRATULATIONS 🍾

View Quoted Comment Hi Brenda I am so wanted to do that, however my FH’s family NEVER thought he’s remarry and he wants to keep having the wedding. We discussed just getting married on our original date he me and our blended family at the courthouse ( if it’s open in October) and do the hupla next year. But we Ed bested so much money that we won’t get back in we canceled.

We feel like we should have gotten married last year, honestly.

We had plans for 120+ wedding in Colorado and another in Switzerland with family and friends flying in from all over. We postponed those til 2021 but we’re thinking of cancelling the Colorado one since we had a perfect little backyard wedding already here with most everyone we really wanted there. Our guest list was set up so that it was mostly family first for the ceremony, some fam left after dinner and more friends came to join us later in the night. We also set up a zoom so friends and family could watch virtually and that was a huge success! We provided bandanas for face covers and pocket size hand sanitizers for everyone among other safety precautions like servers for food and drinks and staying outside for the party. It was amazing to see the whole family come together to pull it off and at the end of the day what’s important is your marriage not how many people are there to watch.

Hi, i feel your pain! Our original hadnt operated since march and today we canceled and found a new venue that operates according to Texas governor rules at least. I wad able to keep the same date which was awesome since our favors have sept 12 on them.. My dj canceled last week so im trying to find another one.. I had to contact caterer for new location, messaged decorator to let her know i need new contract since set up will be different, i havent heard back from the photographer yet, and my cake lady is always working so im not worried about her. Ugh im frustrated of the unknown im sending out invites in 2 weeks wish me luck

Is anyone getting married internationally? I’m getting married (it was supposed to be in an elopement then people started inviting themselves) in October and I’m terrified of what the world will look like then!

Well our whole wedding has changed and we changed venues and I am having to replaN a whole wedding less than 30 days out! Stressful but so happy to Be getting married

Since my FH and I's original date was around the corner, most of the planning was already done. We've already postponed. Only thing left really is the cake. Since the wedding is extended, im excited to add a little more to the planning

View Quoted Comment We had the same problems like you with our venue. Our original date was on April 18, then moved to July 11, which meant we had to sign a new contract with the same conditions, okay, no big deals. When we spoke in early June, our state was positively open to phase 3, so we keep our hopes up, but one week later, it was still in phase 2a, no dates for phase 3, so the venue and wedding planner were pushing us to postpone it till October or even next year, which means it will be another new contract, more $, and new menu. We didn't like that idea because we saw how much COVID cases are still increasing, our guests are afraid of being out, etc. we decided to cancel everything. Had a really bad experienced verbal with the venue manager, fast forward until now, they agreed to give us that much amount of the money, however, when we received the check, they shortened us $200. We feel like they have to f* us up one way or another because we want to cancel the wedding.

View Quoted Comment I would wait until you know everything is in the clear. As a covid bride, postponing is a pain. Once you know you can move forward with your party as you want then book the place!

View Quoted Comment Same! Just over 30 days at this point but still haven’t finalized the new venue. I barely have the energy to care about planning at this point, we just want to be married

I have always been a big fan of buffets at weddings and carving stations, but we have changed our plans to a plated dinner after all of this. We are also downsizing our guest list a bit to reduce the chances of having to uninvite guests later.

Also I love your name! One of the top baby names on my list.
