I am a little bit at a loss for how to plan a shower in August or September. I don't have any expectations that you poor people will have solutions given you are all trying to figure out whether your weddings will go, but at least I could get a bride's perspective. I love this bride and want her to have the best wedding year ever.
Here are the problems:
- The groom's family refuses to social distance or wear masks, so I feel forced to hold an outdoor shower but I have not located any options that are affordable. The bride is immuno compromised and high risk. (Whether she takes her risk seriously I am not 100% sure). Other concern is- she could get COVID and then miss her wedding in October.
- The bride wants to wait to the very last minute to cancel and probably will not cancel in October unless state mandated (and the state expects to be open then). So the concern is- will I be planning a party during a time that "seems safe" only to bring in the next wave of COVID?
I'm thinking I'll have a Zoom attendance option too to encourage people not to come in person. I'm just not sure what the best course of action is- just keep looking for outdoor areas and tell people we will have Zoom too?
