Officially Postponed!

Kaitlynn, on May 17, 2020 at 20:56 Posted in Plan a wedding 0 10

Never thought I'd be "happy" to say this, but we have officially postponed our wedding to 2021. Our original date was Aug 29, 2020 - we are now Aug 28, 2021. I feel so much relief, as I was stressing so much thinking about how much there was left to be done, and we started having family rescind their RSVPs. It was making less sense to continue with our plans for this year, there are still too many risks and unknowns that would have inevitably had a huge negative impact on our celebrations (travel bans, gathering size limitations, business closures, etc. - we haven't even taken our engagement photos yet!).

This has been made seamless and easy thanks to our venue and vendor flexibility. Our venue is honoring our deposit and simply changed our booking, and same with all of our other vendors. I could not have asked for a better outcome in such a scenario. I hope other brides and grooms are able to make a decision with which they are comfortable!

    Wonderful to hear! Our guest list is about 1/3 yours but I know many would not be able to make it or feel uneasy attending.

    I totally recognize how lucky we are that our venue and vendors are not only understanding, but flexible and available. Truly the best case scenario in this situation.

    I felt such a relief when we postponed. Our date was October 3, 2020 but it’s just not looking at all possible at this time. We have a large guest list 350+ and would never be able to cut it down. I personally don’t see gatherings of larger than 50-100 for the duration of 2020. We rebooked for October 2, 2021 and all of our vendors have been amazing as well!

    That is great news to hear your stress level has gone down upon the decision of postponing. It does seem easier to get everything more done for next year and saving more. Everyone that has postponed seems happier to make it easy that way than getting overstressed.

    Congratulations on the new date!


    I'm so happy to hear it went smoothly. Our transition did too, and I feel a little guilty hearing about some couples who are being dragged though hell by their vendors.

    I’m sorry you had to postpone! I totally get how you feel, we did the same thing. Like you said, it’s for the better, for everyone’s safety Smiley smile we will all get our days, whenever they may be, and they will be beautiful!
