Frustrating and worried about covid

Yes ouch I felt bad for her. Let's hope you don't have as many and can still manage.

Yes it is scary, in the week leading up to my wedding I started to develop some symptoms of covid myself, and this was after 6 people (out of 60, so 10% of my guests) called to cancel because they had covid or had been exposed to someone who had. I was getting a tickle in my throat and light cough. I kept testing and it kept coming back negative, and it wasn't worsening, and then I thought, maybe it's a new allergy symptom as I've never really had allergies until this year. After a few days and a few nights worrying about it when I would wake up in the night and start thinking about all the guests who were on their way into town, all the vendors I'd already paid in full for and would have to reschedule and who knows when I could get them all available on the same date again... Then after a few days it went away and I continued to do my testing and it kept coming up negative. I was soooooooo relieved. In the end I did lose 9 of our guests who could not attend, 15% of my list. BUT, even with such a small wedding, it was WONDEFUL. While we missed those 9 people, we still had 51 who we were so happy to have there, and we still had a great party and a lot of fun. So don't worry, you can't control all these things, just ride the wave and focus on the positive and enjoy.

What Danielle and Amanda said you will get cancellations last minute, do not worry about it. I have a small wedding and anyone who doesn't have a plus one, I will be giving them a plus 1 for any cancelations, I already have to pay for the plate so it can allow them to finally bring someone. People get excited and say yes because they want to be there, but life happens and cancelations will happen closer to the wedding. My friend had done her seating chart and gave in her numbers to the venue and all of a sudden she had 10 cancelations. She allowed me a plus 1 and then invited a few more people who wanted to come, the food that was left over went to the staff.

I wouldn't worry so much. You might have last minute cancellations for various reasons. Every wedding goes through this. Like Danielle said, take a breathe and just move on. I know it may be hard to do that but these sort of things are out of your hands.
