My fiancé and I have been together over 7 years and have been looking forward to our wedding day as much as any other bride and groom do. Our date is set for July 25th 2020. We still have a lot to do as things closed right when we were trying to get things together we have no suits... (some have been fitted) my dress is in pieces at the seamstress we have no flowers and no tables and chairs...I know if we put our minds to it we can do it
BUT our wedding guest list is 110 people my worry is that by July we will not be able to have this many people together in one place...

Should we postpone our date to keep our plans and keep everyone safe?

    My wedding was July 25, 2020 too! We have not continued with our original plans. We are hoping to have a small intimate 25 person wedding that includes our parents, siblings, and nieces and nephews.


    If you must have your big day this year, if I were you, I would set realistic expectations for yourself. Social distancing is not going to go away when things “open up”. I think it’s realistic to think the rest of the summer will look largely different than we have ever seen it to. You can get an idea of expectations through the directions the ontario government releases forBusinesses when it’s time to “open”.

    You can deduce what is happening to people’s health worldwide.
    I think it is smart to set a realistic guest count that will be “allowed” on July 25, 2020. Anything above that will be a welcome change. All invite etiquette has gone out the Window with Covid 19. So you can invite more if the group limits rise. You have to take into consideration how you want your wedding to look. I think it’s probably safe to say there will be no packed dance floors allowed. There won’t be a lot ofHugging or touching. But none of this means you can’t have a beautiful, meaningful day while respecting the guidelines!
    Our idea is if we plan on the more conservative side we will be greatly appreciative of anything “extra” we can do!!

    I'm biased but we're July 18 and we're waiting as long as possible. We still have over two months to go and by then I think he'll allow our wedding.

    We invited 325 and expect 200-250. I think it'll look totally different - maybe only 4 people per table? Lots of hand sanitizer (which really venues should already have)?

    Our guests are all hopeful we can go ahead in July - even our grandparents want to come as long as Ford lifts the restrictions.

    I think 1) it depends on what you are comfortable with and 2) what your guests are comfortable with.

    Maybe see how people feel and go from there.
