cancelled our big 250 person wedding with a dinner and a live band and are hosting just our immediate family and some close friends next weekend

Was able to book a venue last week for 66% off with a cash bar (no pricy drink package)

found a caterer with less than two weeks notice because no ones holding any events

saving a ton of money not having to invite family were obligated to invite

keeping the ceremony simple so no big planning necessary

and were getting it married sooner than later so we dont have to worry about the anticipation lasting months

got a full refund from the venue we had scheduled

literally going to cost us 10% of what we were planning on spending

thanks covid!!

Booked a venue with 100 capacity and are having 21 people which includes us, the photographer, and the officiant

we have the entire venue too so other than a few staff there will be no one else in the building

we bought a big order of masks to provide and will have the tables spread out with hand sanitizer at each table

sometimes the husband and wife don't even stay with one another for that long either.

I guess it depends what a once in a lifetime big party with your family and friends is worth to you

we were keeping costs down as much as we could, the real big splurge on our end would have been booking a live band, but since live music is our passion it would have been worth having a band play specifically for our event

plus people give you thousands of dollars worth of gifts

man bars around here are starting to voluntarily go back to carry out only

hoping people stay responsible in the next couple weeks so we dont see a big outbreak

wisconsins still keeping it in the low couple hundreds per day for new cases right now
