Re: what would you do? - September Wedding
I'm so sorry. I think it's really wrong and dangerous to have 150 people together now. I would either postpone or have just close family socially distanced and masked and then live stream for everyone else.

Thank you everyone for all of the input.
FH & I are total rule followers. We have both been working from home since mid-March & limit how often we do anything in public spaces.
I guess it’s just the disappointment setting in.
I'm so sorry. It is SO disappointing. My BFF was supposed to get married and is having a baby and all of those big events are being sidelined. It's terrible. I feel so bad for all of you in this situation.
To answer your question, I think 150 people is just too many people. Honestly, I think if your guests knew that was the number, many would not come.
We have a family wedding at a private estate coming up and I know they are going forward with it and I am very uncomfortable with the whole thing. I would have closest family and friends and that's it.

I’m so sorry you have to make this difficult decision. But I agree with the others.
We have a wedding the first weekend in October and I can’t imagine that we’re going to go because it’s going to be pretty large. We’ll see what the situation is though. If it’s outdoors I’ll feel better but I don’t think it is
Right now gatherings are limited to 50 and some catering halls have not even been given the okay to open yet. So most likely, the October wedding will have restrictions on the amount of guests that can attend.
Yes, I did hear that. I think I'll clarify to him that if he needs room on the guest list I will totally understand (he's a work friend.)
He's already expecting natural attrition from out of state guests who won't be able to come.
I feel so bad for him and anyone else dealing with this.

In the midst of all that's going on I don't think a 150 person party is a good idea. I think you'll get a lot no's to be honest, I would not be comfortable attending at this time even if it is outdoors.

Do you live on Long Island? I think gatherings are capped still, so it wouldn't work. But, as far as having a gathering, when will be safe? I mean, our numbers are SO low. Go look at the Suffolk County Health Dept page. It updates daily. Around 60 new cases. Are we waiting until it gets to zero? Because that's unrealistic.
The other day Suffolk had 102 positive cases. It did drop again the next day, and I do believe overall NY's numbers have been very low and steady. But it only takes one person at one event. Remember the lawyer in New Rochelle at the beginning of all this?
I am all for small get togethers, even though we are allowed 25 I don't even go that high.
IMO, it will be a long time before huge parties/concerts/theater are a thing.
Right, but hopefully people practice better hygiene now, which includes washing their hands. The number one way to prevent illness. And I know that's all it takes is one. I've been to parties where a kid ends up with the stomach virus or strep 2 days later and then hear about 10 other people from the party that got sick. But, I can say that has never happened to us because we wash our hands at parties and gatherings. Although, I do think that's putting too much faith in people because I still see gross habits when I'm out in public these days.

Re: what would you do? - September Wedding
Have it in the magical year 2021 when everyone goes back to work, schools reopen normally, all weddings are rescheduled, we have mask burning parties and there is no more Covid.
It's going to be one hell of a year!
I would have your church ceremony as planned and dinner with your family at a restaurant like you had said.
I'm sorry for you and all brides. What a nightmare.

What i would do is have your church wedding but for a reception only have family and closest friends. Drop that list to no more than 50. Unless you can find a big big outdoor space that you can space people out
My husband is singing with his band upstate outdoors today in a very big space so there is over 300 people allowed but its large and can be easily spaced out accordingly.
