Hello everyone,
My fiancé and I have had to deal with the horrible misfortune of being double booked not too long ago. We did a lot of work on our end to coordinate the new date with all of our vendors. Now, because of this virus, we may be forced to select a new date yet again - but this time for both the bridal shower (booked for the end of April) and the wedding (re-booked for the middle of August).
We have spent money on 2 save the dates, bridal shower invitations, and the wedding invitations that we prepared in February and planned on sending out in May. To think that we may have to send out a third save the date, a second bridal shower invitation, and a second wedding invitation is causing us some stress - not to mention reaching out to all of our vendors again to re-coordinate.
Safety comes first, we understand. We just don't want to pick another date and then be forced to change it for a third time because the viral outbreak has worsened or remained the same. We aren't sure if we should just pick 2 backup dates for the bridal shower and wedding or just pick new dates altogether for 2021, hoping that after one year + this has all been sorted and a vaccine has been created and distributed.
Sorry - I know it is a bit of a vent. The uncertainty of it all is causing us the most stress. It's difficult to know what the right decision is at this point.
