Officially Postponed My May 30,2020 Wedding Day 😖😭

If you have a small guest list with not many elderly, many Aug? I would HOPE this is over by then but many people still might not attend a summer wedding due to health concerns.

I’m the 8th of August I don’t even know how mine will be. I don’t want to tell you August and you have to move it again. It’s very stressful I know this need to go away soon. I feel bad for all the brides that have to move their weddings.
———-
The ones flying in are they on the older side? They are family or friends? Because that’s probably the most important people to consider. Even if it’s over by August are they going to feel ok flying in on a plane with other people right away or not? I suggest asking them.

I’d say go for May,2021. We had dates available for aug, sep, and oct but we moved it to next april because we didnt want to risk anything anymore. It will take more time for people to get over social distancing.

I would personally wait until May just to be safe unless you’re okay with potentially postponing again.

I think it depends. I also had my wedding date for May 30th 2020. I postponed mine until October 2020. Nobody really knows what the future holds. If you are ok waiting a whole year until 2021, then go for it. I know for me personally, I can’t wait that long. There is so much uncertainty surrounding this virus 🦠. Best of luck to you!

We just postponed our May 30 wedding to August 16, 2020. Our venue said we had to reschedule in the year 2020, and we figured August might give us the most hope since they are saying it might come back in the fall. Nobody really knows what’s going to happen though. If things are still bad in August, we will just have our immediate family there. Best of luck!!!

I think August you would be ok, my theory is this (could also be wishful thinking) but a lot of concerts and music fests by us are being rescheduled for August/ September of 2020. Those fests will have a lot more people than a wedding would. I feel that if the folks planning and scheduling and paying a ton of money for these fests are feeling good about rescheduling than I think by then things will be better. The other thing to look at is for your individual state when will the peak occur? For our state it is predicted to peak at the end of April and then begin level off. I think once the peak occurs after a bit things can begin to re-open. My guess would be there still might be restrictions on events for May and into June. But after that I'm thinking things will start to get back to normal and larger events can begin to happen again. Good luck!

I would personally wait until May and give everything time to get up and running again.

We are very likely going to postpone our May 29, 2020 wedding to Aug. 23, 2020. We did have the option to choose a date in May 2021 but personally we do not want to wait longer, we began planning this 18 months ago. There will likely still be social distancing restrictions to an extent in August and people may not come due to health concerns. We have also accepted there is a chance it may get cancelled and at that point, we would look to elope and have the celebration later on. If you want to be safe, May 2021 is the better choice.

I’m so sorry! But know this is not your doing and your family and friends are well aware as to why this had to have been done. Keep faith and keep loving each other. This too shall pass

Thank you. I haven’t set day yet. But i’m worry no to announce the day with advance if I wait until May, people only have 3 months to prepare for the wedding.

What will be the best time to sent the new Date again?

Mine was supposed to be May 1, 2020 but I choose to postpone till May 1, 2021. I could have picked a sept 2020 date but I did not want to have the chance of postponing yet again and then lose my chance at an early 2021 date.

This breaks my heart as my wedding date is the same of yours...and I truly do not want to cancel or postpone. Unlike you I do not have anyone flying in to my wedding. I am looking at having a very tiny ceremony so we can still have our wedding date. And then at a later time have our reception and such

We are May 30th too and have not yet made a decision but if there aren't life circumstances pressuring you to marry soon and you have your heart set on a big, traditional wedding, I would wait the full year and plan for May 2021.

Some reasons to marry sooner:

1) You are older and want to try for a family.

2) One of you is at risk of losing a job and could get the others health insurance if you were married.

3) Your venue is indoors and season doesn't matter at all.

4) You have older family members you want to attend who are unlikely to make it another full year, Covid or not.

5) Other legal or personal factors.

Reasons to wait:

1) Everything you've already planned will likely fit best during the same season next year. The same foods and flowers will be in season, if your colors are seasonal they'll fit best during the same month next year, and the attire you picked for spring may be too hot during the summer (especially in Florida).

2) You want more time for this to be "over" and guests to feel comfortable. And more predictability about travel restrictions, etc for your guests coming from out of the area and flying internationally.

3) You have VIP guests who are "at risk" and may not be able to attend until the situation is much much more safe.

4) You'll likely have better luck lining up all your vendors (not just your venue) on a future date rather than one during this wedding season.

Good luck with whatever you decide!

View Quoted Comment Yeah I definitely wouldn’t risk it for them. I would suggest to do it on the later day.

Sorry to hear that. We are getting married in Orlando FL too ! In January ....
