What’s your comfort level?

Sorry Girl. I think summer weddings are going to be next on Corona's list of things to ruin. We moved our June wedding to mid-December and have our fingers crossed for things to go as planned at that time. The NY/NJ area will probably be one of the last and latest area's to re-open from what I've been reading and seeing on the news. We are getting married in NC and they haven't had too many cases so they are not under as heavy of restrictions. See if you can postpone for later in 2020 or even spring/summer 2021.

My wedding was originally scheduled for june 6, and I rescheduled for july 24, so yes I would attend.

We currently have a friends wedding at the end of July in NH (we live in TN) and I wouldn’t miss for the world. I bought the plane tickets in the middle of all this and we still intend to go. The bride is a nurse so I’m assuming they’d make a call in the best interest of their guests. They’re still hoping to be able to pull it off as of the other day.

If it were in my state and followed our governor's guidelines, then yes, I would go.

Well, I'm not much for the packed dance floor to start with. I was all set and fine to attend my cousin's outdoor wedding this weekend, but they've rescheduled for August 1st. I think the numbers play a part and also the setting. Outdoors, people can spread out more. Also, thinking about where you're located. I'm in the country, the cases have been low. This would definitely be a different story if you're talking about an area that's been hit harder.

I would feel comfortable but either in a mask or without but 6 feet away from people. younger people will probably feel better about it but i think people are aching for normalcy

My best friend is getting married in August and I'm still debating if I'm going to that. Honestly, its too soon for me personally to make a decision and I would probably not know until a week before. I'm not planning on doing large events until after the fall.

I would attend, as long as all of the safety precautions being taken were clearly laid out beforehand, via email or your website. How food is being served, if there will be hand sanitizing stations, tables being spread a certain distance apart, etc. I seem to be in the minority here, but I am still very hopeful we’ll be in a much better place by then. I postponed my wedding from May to August. We planned for 230, but we are going to move forward as long as we can have at least 50 guests. If people choose not to come that is totally understandable, but we are ready to go!

I would not feel comfortable. And I had a wedding originally planned for July....we just postponed to next March.

I also had my wedding planned for July and unfortunately it breaks my heart that we will have to push it off. We are mainly doing it due to family members who are at risk due to age or immunity disorders that we really want there. I think most people are going to be too afraid to go to a large group gathering that quickly, but I do think it is way ridiculous for those who say they won’t attend anything of this nature for the rest of the year. I find that hard to believe with the holidays that occur towards the end of the year. My fiancé and I are hoping to push our wedding to sometime in the fall, but at the end of the day you just have to do what feels right to you. If you really love your date and your venue will allow you to stick with that date, maybe trim the numbers down so it’s less intimidating and to have those that result matter. It’s a really difficult time right now, I wish you nothing but luck.

My wedding is in September in Pa. I’m worried as well even though Pa is opening slowly the CDC still says 6’ and masks. Gatherings of 25 or less are allowed only my guest list is 125. I feel you with the unknown and personally I don’t want to post pone anymore than I already have so I’m more frustrated. NJ right now is not moving forward with an opening plan. My parents live in south jersey and I haven’t seen them since this has started and my family and friends from there have not moved towards “normal.” I don’t want to sound harsh or anything but I don’t think it would matter who is willing to come but a matter of who will be allowed and able to do so. Right now NJ has no guidelines in place and your venue like mine might still be closed. If I RSVP yes but you can only have 10 people present what will you do then? July seems far away but I know even September is not and I have to decide by June what I am to do. I think in the end it won’t be what we or our guests want it will be what will we do if we can’t.

I live in NJ and have a wedding planned for August. I would have less guests if you want that date. Otherwise have a small ceremony that date and push the wedding to next spring or summer. I just don't think we'll be allowed a large gathering by then. I would personally attend a small wedding but not large at that time.

I’m not sure how NJ is doing right now so it depends if 150 person event will be allowed or not. Im in the same boat for my CA wedding in September. BUT i would probably go! If it’s allowed then obviously the county or state is saying it’s okay. If gotta wear a mask then so be it!

I do understand where you are coming from. Our wedding date was April 3, 2020 and we postponed til July 31, 2020. I am having second thoughts now that this date may not be far out enough. My truth is that I should have agreed to just get married on our original date and had a party later in the year. Now we are on the hook again for contracts and haven't told many persons about the new date. Now, if I have to have the minister at the top of our driveway and we on the front porch, we are getting married no matte what! I do wonder though, what the hotels are going to do to ensure social distance measures are followed at weddings...

I'm in the same boat as the OP. July 18, 150 ppl, northern NJ.


My friends seem to be very optimistic but honestly this doesn't look promising. My venue doesn't want us to postpone until the end of the month which is frustrating.
It's depressing, honestly.

I wouldn't go We have a friend getting married in September and we won't be attending that wedding either, and it is less than 100 people. There is just too much risk and people will just be coming out of the weeds for the remainder of the year. We postponed our June wedding to June 2021 and felt relieved (as did everyone else). You don't want to look back on your wedding day or approach it with worry. I would postpone and make it legal on your original date.

If it was 100 or less people, all outdoors (better airflow), and maybe just do heavy cocktail hour with apps instead of a seated meal, than yes I’d be ok with a July wedding.


We postponed our April wedding to this September, with ceremony outdoors and reception indoors. I’m brainstorming alternatives for the reception since the location has outdoor options.
