July 2021- Dare I get excited

I'm in Scotland too and we are getting married in August. Original date and we won't be postponing it. From what I'm seeing today it could be summer realistically before everyone is vaccinated. I'm thinking now I'm going to need to go for a guest list of around 40ish and be happy with that? I keep thinking if I finalise them numbers for 100, then pay buses and travel, invitations for 100 then it can't be that then I'll be kicking myself for wasting all that money

End of July 2021 here too after postponing from May this year. I'm starting to feel slightly more optimistic with the positive news recently, but then they also said Christmas would be normal earlier in the year so I'm trying to manage my expectations! I so hope they can go ahead as planned!

I'm a bit hopeful. I'm getting married on the last Saturday in July. Ours wasn't a covid reschedule. We got engaged and booked the venue back in 2019, we always planned to have a 2 year engagement, which turned out to be quite lucky! My venue now has no Saturdays left next year!

I think my wedding will happen, but I don't know if it'll happen as a normal wedding with our full 60 guests.

We are the end of August & have cut our guest list down to 40 (for day & night) immediate family & a few close friends only.

I've spoken to our venue this morning and they said at the moment they are hopeful for more than the current 20 guests by after Easter but obviously understood why we wanted to cut back the numbers so much and not risk being disappointed nearer the time if things don't change much.

It wasn't a covid rescheduled wedding either we also booked in 2019.

It's been playing on my mind all week again because I feel like extending furlough etc isn't a great sign that next year is going to be quite as relaxed as everyone hopes it is.

I would rather be a bit pessimistic now and get used to the idea than be disappointed nearer the day. I just hope my family who aren't being invited understand that I don't want to keep living on the hope I can 100 people there 😂

Op I think 50 might be the most you can have, sorry if that's not what you were hoping to hear but I think best case scenario is tier 0 which in Scotland is 50 guests.
I spoke to our venue about it last night and they have said this is what they are hopeful for in the summer.

Guests still have to wear masks in tier 0 (I'm gutted about this) but I'm going to try to have as much outside as I can, hoping the summer weather is good to us!

I feel glad to have found this out though, it's given me a realistic expecting of what's going to happen and I think that's better than not knowing.
