Halt with planning due to covid

View quoted message

Yea I totally agree. Its also hard for me to even get excited about the wedding when everyone asks about whether we are postponing or not. It just feels that so many people have already given up on the wedding before we have. I'm sure things will be better by then but its hard to get things done when so many people around you are only sharing negative thoughts about everything.

SAME!!!!!!!!!!!! ugh we have 2 things left to do other than our seating chart and one of them is to get his suit which we cant cuz the store he wants to buy from is closed. we are sending out our invitations now but i just have to go drop them in the mail so thats nothing exciting. i feel like no one cares about my wedding and no one asks about it either.

We are in the same state of mind not wanting to plan until we know more about the situation changing. Hopefully it's just a pause. I'm lucky I picked up dress from alterations right before this happened and my fiance has his suit jacket and shirt. We sent out invites to those flying across the country but that's it. Fingers crossed none of us have to change our plans. We will decide beginning of June. Be well. Spend time together and be thankful you have one another

My wedding is August 8th. The only thing we had left to do is get the invitations sent out. I was suppose to do my first dress alteration appointment next month and my fiance and his groomsmen still need their suits and finish with the decor and such. We got in contact with all our vendors and the venue and they've been amazing with everything. We have a backup date incase we have to postpone. We were told to wait till end of June/beginning of July to make that decision. Fingers crossed this all flattens out before then. I feel you on the stress and everything. But it will pass

View quoted message I hope that everything works out for the best, especially with your MOH coming from France.


I totally get it though with wanting everyone to be comfortable at your wedding. That's why I'm hoping that this passes and the restrictions are lifted. I really do think that once summer comes, we will see the numbers flatten out and hopefully even decrease.
But you're right, no matter what, we will be in the same boat! Try and keep positive!

View quoted message I'm sorry that everything shut down before you had the chance to go dress shopping with your bridal party and look at rentals.


Unfortunately, we dont have many DIY projects to do. But video chatting with everyone is a good idea, even if we dont do much planning.

View quoted message Yea its hard sometimes that's for sure, but its comforting to know that I'm not alone in all of this.

View quoted message Yea WW has been comforting especially knowing that I'm not alone. Our deadline is around the same time as yours, hopefully everything works out in the end.

View quoted message That's what we are trying to do as well. We just need stuff for the reception, luckily everything else has been booked. We just got to stay positive!

Wedding plans on hold and feeling down of not doing anything is there right now for most couples and what to do based on payments for vendors, purchases to make/deposits to put down towards your day is not possible at the time of shut down. This situation has created a lot of hold backs on check lists to get done what's needed being crucial. Don't let this get you down and stop planning since the time will come to getting back on track eventually. The best thing to happen right now is putting money aside that may be coming in from the government for loss of work. This will allow you to set yourself in time to have funds available when you get back on track and clearance of businesses opening.

Heyyyy,


I get it! We're in August too, and it feel like such a nail biter of stress and anxiety.Though theres times when I'm super calm, cool, and collective, there are times when I throw my hands up and say FTS. We have family coming from different provinces. And my MOH is coming from France provided international flights are good. I do not want to do this without her. I've taken the time to make our signage, our wedding favours, and invites are sealed and ready to get dropped in the mailbox.After all the planning and preparing, I remain hopeful. Although our official call will be at the end of April/early May.However let's say this virus goes away in may or june. Let's say were in the clear, my worry then comes if our guests will ENJOY themselves, will they feel safe around 150 other ppl. We've invited our favourite family and friends, ppl who have molded us, ppl who mean the world to us. Do I want them to sit there and feel uncomfortable? No, you want to feel nothing but love and appreciation in that room.It's not just about us getting married, its enjoying this time as a group of kickass ppl who you love and love you.Regardless you love the person you're marrying, you'll be together thru this and after this. That's what counts.I hear you, I'm with you. Hang in there, just keep doing what you're doing.
Dont worry I'll be with you in the silent meltdown later.

Yeah I'm in the same boat, one of the last things we had to do was get our rentals sorted and we were just about to go look at the options in the showroom before they closed to the public.

I was also planning on taking our bridesmaids and groomsmaids dress shopping in March but with everyone's work shutting down and stores being closed I now worry that some of our girls won't be able to afford dresses for quite some time.

If you have any diy projects that you have the supplies at home for that could be a way to get yourself back in the planning mood. If you don't, something like planning your music or practicing your first dance or even just having a facetime call with your wedding party could help you feel more motivated.

I definitely feel the same! I put our invites together to go out soon since we can't really wait in case things do go ahead as planned, but I just can't bring myself to work on anything else in case it's all for nothing. UUUUGH.

Yup! Feel the exact same way here. I used to love wedding planning and now I can't think of it without feeling anxious. I will admit it is even hard to be on wedding wire sometimes. There is just so much uncertainty going around.

I feel the same way. We stopped designing our invitations and will wait until the last minute to order them if our wedding happens as planned.


I don't care about Pinterest, or picking flowers, or centerpieces. Mostly I don't want to lose money if we do need to postpone and I won't lie Wedding Wire has been a lot more comforting people who need to cancel their plans than getting people excited to plan (totally understandable, but not super motivating).
I'm trying to stay positive, and depending on how the next few weeks go I might pick up the planning again before our postponment deadline of July.

I know how you feel. I was the same way - you just feel super let down and in a state of limbo because no one knows what’s going to happen or when!


FH and I are moving forward as though everything is happening and if we need to cancel our events, we will deal with it then.

It’s okay girl, don’t be too hard on yourself. I am feeling the exact same way as you.
