Postponing Summer 2021 wedding

Im sure by next summer things will be close to back to normal. once this is all done people will be back at their jobs and out spending again. im hopeful this wont last long. you could also just make ur wedding date later next summer if you guys lose your jobs that way you have time to make payments.

View quoted message We have made the decision to postpone until August 20, 2022. The way I see it, there’s less stress this way and another bright side is that by giving up our date next year, that date is now available for someone who might have had plans to be married this year to be able to have that date next year

I am on the same boat. We have paid a deposit for our venue and church for our wedding in March 2021. I am hesitant to book vendors at this time because of financial reasons and not knowing if this whole covid situation will be over by then (I think it will, but you never know). We've decided to wait until May/June to make a decision if we should start booking vendors or just post-poning the wedding. Such unfortunate timing 😫

Glad to know I'm not feeling alone in this either. I was planning to have my wedding in June of 2021. I Looked at all my venues a week ago and was supposed to make a descion. Everyday things are changing and all the things you discussed I talked about with my FH a few days ago. I'm concerned about financial situation and the stress of booking vendors amidst all this crisis . We're keeping an eye on things but based on how things are going, we'll probably not be putting down a deposit on a venue. I'm currently looking into alternatives as I still plan to get married next year . I've been looking at pop up weddings, micro weddings, ceremony only weddings, elopement packages and doing a reception at a later today. I haven't really come to a descion but I know I still want to do something and not just go to city Hall to get married.


No shame in you looking into changing your date and not stressing about booking vendors in the midst of what going on. Stay positive and keep safe.

Ours is this august too and im so nervous. I dont want to give any more deposits before i know what exactly is going to happen. but if we cancel we are going to be out so much money and it makes me feel ill thinking about it-i also dont want to postpone sighhh. what a time to be planning a wedding

Your not alone when wedding plans are getting postponed or cancelled due to the situation given at the time. Deposits are either getting refunded by vendors by choice or working with the couples for a later date without any penalties. Venues will do the same and help you out any way possible to make your day special. Keep strong and know your guests are safe at home. A change of date is good to send out by email, text or by WhatsApp and FB will keep them up to date. Many business are taking a huge loss as well as vendors for not getting any clients or keeping the stores open to avoid pandemic transfer.

You’re definitely not in it alone. Our wedding is supposed to be aug. of this year. We’ve made down deposits on everything. It’s hard to know what’s going to happen for now but I understand your fears. We have also considered postponing ours to next year 😓
