Good morning!!
I hope everyone is staying safe during this difficult time! My fiance and I are getting married 10.10.2020 here in Vegas and we are trying to figure out if we should move forward or start postponing now.
We are thinking about waiting until early June (if our venue will let us) to postpone. Our contract says that if we want to postpone, we must do so 180 prior to the original wedding date .... WHICH IS TODAY! Luckily, they are working with us and put it in writing that they will give us through May 1st to make a decision and honor the contract. They also said they would be 'lax' but we aren't certain what that means.
Our original plan was to send our invitations in early July and start having them made in May. The stationary boutique we are using is great, it just takes a little while to get all the proofs and send back approvals. We used them for our Save the Dates and they turned out PERFECT!
We have about half our guest list coming in from out of town; half are coming from the Chicago area and some of which are first responders who are fighting the virus on the front lines. We don't want these guests to feel uncomfortable flying or staying in a hotel room.
While our state seems to be ding very well in terms of containment, who knows if the government will allow events right away and if they do, will there be restrictions on guest count... there are so many questions.
So my questions are, what are the other Las Vegas (late summer, early fall) couples thinking right now? Have you asked your vendors what the plan is? When do you plan on making a decision?
Good luck and stay safe!
