6 Things to Do if the Coronavirus Cancels Your Wedding

Unfortunately, a resurgence of COVID-19 and multiple variants necessitates continued caution and mitigation measures. Unless you were planning a super intimate wedding, chances are you may be unable to even have all your guests present for your big day. So we’ve put together some quick tips for what to do if COVID-19 threatens to cancel your wedding

The Intimate Wedding

Intimate weddings are gaining momentum with the gathering limits caused by COVID-19. Couples that wish to proceed with smaller-than-planned weddings have many options. By using resources that are available to them, they can make their special day something that will be remembered by all in attendance. All that it takes is a bit of thought and some planning.

Notifying Guests of Your New Date

It’s slowly becoming clearer— the future of 2020 weddings in the QCA is bleak. Unfortunately, a 50-guest wedding and a socially-distanced dance floor aren’t what most of today’s couples have in mind. Chances are you’re going to need to change your plans. After you’ve contacted your vendors and your VIP family members and bridal party, your next step will be to notify your guests.

Current COVID Guidelines

No one could have seen a pandemic affecting our lives so greatly, and no one really knows how the next few months will go. Iowa and Illinois are approaching the re-opening process quite differently, but we’re here to clarify what’s currently allowed in each state and give you some pointers for moving forward.

COVID Advice from QCA Vendors

Today, we’ve asked QCA wedding vendors to share their thoughts and advice with area couples considering postponing. We recently released our guide for decision-making and arranging alternate dates — COVID-19 & Your Wedding. And we also have some graphics to help you organize availability of your vendors, friends, and family for potential postponement dates. You can download that here— Vendor Potential Dates and VIP Potential Dates. We’re also working with vendors to compile a spreadsheet of their 2020 availability.
