Hello ladies
This may seem like a easy go ahead and just do it because of my guest count but it really isn't . NJ is kinda running strict guidelines now don't know how long they will last. Will not try to do this in the last 90 days either. Eight of my guest are coming from out of state and the other 12 are coming over a hour to the ceremony site (the beach). We are getting married on May 15 2021 on the beach. While I would love to do a party afterwards with a DJ indoors it appears that the COVID may still be around and may hinder that. I wanted to know if it would be easier to just do the ceremony now and party later. Especially if you are on a budget? To me the reception is the most expensive part of the wedding besides the honeymoon. We've already changed the date once from last July. We are not doing that again. I also was looking into food trucks for food only thing about that is we would need to rent tent, chairs , and tables for people to sit and eat shall we do this in a park. Because of Covid, I was gonna take this route instead of being indoors anywhere where COVID can be a high risk. When I look at prices it seems to come out to be even MORE expensive. So should i do the ceremony now and party somewhere INDOORS later down the line? I appreciate all feedback kinda stuck at deciding. which way to go here.
P.S. I would provide dinner/cake/drink but it would be simple for now.
