Reception alternatives

Mallorie, on June 26, 2020 at 7:20 PM Posted in Wedding Reception 0 5

Hello my fiance and I were supposed to get married 04/18/20 but due to covid 19 we were force to postpone our wedding our new date is 08/22/20 but our venue where we are supposed to have our reception hasn’t gotten to green light yet to reopen. We are getting a little worried! We did considered just going forward with our ceremony but don’t know what to do after the ceremony? Has anyone done just a ceremony? Any suggestions for reception alternatives?

    If you have space renting a nice tent for the backyard could work. Alot of rental places are doing packages now with tables and chairs, etc. Can add walls or ceiling drapery. string lights ...it can be very pretty

    We are doing a ceremony, and after are having a dinner with our family. (10 ppl) the caterer agreed to cook the food in our cabin so Itis fresh! But I would feed whoever physically comes to the ceremony ! Even take out is fine

    You can always do a smaller event afterwards with apps and desserts. It doesn't have to match the formality of a traditional reception.

    Hi Mallorie,

    I'm sorry you are going through this! I agree with the recommendations above. Doing something small afterward like a cake cutting would be so cute! Or, you can get married in August and then postpone your reception until next year.

    Let us know what you end up deciding.

    Sending so much love your way!

    Smiley heart
