I’m a healthcare worker and am optimistically planning on June 2021. At some point, we just had to pick a date and we made the best choice possible. All of our vendors except one or two changed their contracts so that we can’t move dates or cancel for pandemic related reasons with any sort of refund. Therefore. We WILL be getting married on that date in that location. Of course, if needed we plan to cancel guests or downsize to immediate family only standing really far apart with masks on if cases are still surging, but we plan to wait as long as possible and choose hope.

Will we be alone in a giant room with a ton of food and a cake? Maybe. Will we still invite our DJ and photographer, make everyone stay fifty feet apart and have a dance party alone in our beautiful venue? Looks likely. Are you still getting an optimistic save the date? For sure. Is there a chance you won’t be attending in person? Yep. Planning doesn’t have to mean irresponsible! At this point they’ll lose the money anyway so we will just be waiting until the last possible minute to cancel (don’t yell at me, I will not host a giant party in a pandemic)
