April 2021 Wedding

[mrswimpeydimple]

We're booked to get married the first weekend in April 2021. Planning to have 40-50 guests in the day plus another 40 for the evening. The latest Covid restrictions down to 15 guests for the foreseeable mean that were thinking about contacting our venue and trying to rearrange. What would you do?

It is a really tricky one. My wedding is planned for 2022 and I already feel a bit nervous that things might not be back to normal! (a ridiculous panic, I know).

I can see why you would want to rearrange and I don't think it is the wrong decision. The only problem with rearranging now is that covid might not be a problem in April, and then you will have pushed back your wedding for nothing.

We've cancelled our October 2020 wedding and have re-booked for the last weekend of April 2021. But now I feel like this won't happen with a decent number of guests. It's so unbelievably stressful not knowing when your big day might be and what restrictions will be in place. I was coming round to the idea of 30, but 15!!! It's such a massive reduction in numbers and because we both have big families it means a lot of our immediate family will not be in attendance. Our original guest list was for 120 to the day. What i'd really like to do is cancel completely and postpone for a couple of years but we've already paid out thousands of pounds towards it.

we postponed ours from June this year to april next year but I think we might just cancel it now. i just cant see the restricrions being lifted enough to have a wedding with a decent amount of guests and I dont want to waste thousands on a wedding with 15 guests. By April we will have 5 children between us sonincluding us a the registrar and photographer that only leaves space for 6 guests

Advice please, I would like to get married with just our four children present aged between 10 & 14. I have been married before which was in the local registry office so would like it to be a bit different. Live in Staffordshire if that helps.

I'd be moving it to be honest. It might not go ahead at all if a full lockdown happens again, although hopefully that won't. But I wouldnt put it past them to cancel any group events, including weddings.

We are mid April 2021 and we are holding out for now. I'm hoping things will have started easing after winter by then. Our venue will only give us a reserve date for winter 2021 and refused 2022 onwards so we don't have a lot of choice plus venue fees have been paid.

We could manage on 30 and if it's less we will just go us and the kids.

We moved to end of May instead, all suppliers have been wonderful. Just keeping everything crossed in the hope we can have the day and evening as planned.

We've moved ours from May this year to end of April 2021.
Still not convinced we will be able to have the number of guests but if not we'll still get married with the 15 guests and the reception at a later date.

Fingers crossed things will be somewhat back to normal by then, or at least heading that way.
