Sounds lovely. And totally unique for your Aussie guests!

View quoted message Yes, or that they will have to self isolate when they arrive in Canada too. Will ruin their trip over for sure, if it were me I wouldn’t want to travel and have to isolate. Its just a waiting game, but then I worry that if if I leave it too late to make the decision there may not be many vendors available that I want - too stressful!


Calgary! I’m hoping for a beautiful sunny winter day so we can have ceremony outside, if not our reception venue can hold the ceremony too!

I think we're going to wait until October to decide. And between now and then I'll just have to not think about it so much.

My fiance's family is almost exclusively coming from the States. And I know he'll be pretty bummed if most of them can't come due to travel restrictions. Another concern is that people are allowed to travel, but required to self-isolate for 14 days when they return home. I don't know too many people that are able to do that. (But my fiance and I are both in health care, I suppose there are a lot of people who are able to work from home.) That's what we're thinking too, to wait until October to make the decision. But I think the uncertainty will drive me crazy. Our venue and our church could not handle social distancing. And I don't want to be in a position where I have to choose 50 people, or cancel the dance because people will dance too close.

Hello, I’m wondering about cancelling or rescheduling also. Half of my wedding guests would be coming from Australia and I am concerned we will not have travel restrictions lifted or that flights may not be available in time. That’s not even considering what the social distancing might look like, we only have 60 guests so not too crazy but our venue is no equipped for social distancing. I only have venue and photographer booked, I’m finding it hard to decide whether I book my vendors now or wait a while. I’m thinking I might wait til September to make a final decision!

I’ve debated the same thing. I’m so unsure of February 2021 is far enough away to ensure the safety of our guests. For right now, we’re waiting and “going ahead as planned”. I assume we will have better direction late this summer/early fall so we will likely wait until then to make a final decision.
