I am planning on attending a family wedding on the other side of the country late September. Getting concerned about delta variant and travel. I’m vaccinated and was feeling okay about flying a month ago when I made my reservations. Now, with all the news reports about this new covid variant, I’m feeling hesitant about travel and attending an indoor event with 150 people. I’d be traveling alone but would come home to unvaccinated small kids.
No communication yet or change of plans from the bride and groom. Just crowdsourcing to see what others think. Would you wait and see (I’m tending toward this) or cancel your RSVP now if you were me? Feel sorry for the bride and groom (this is a rescheduled 2020 wedding) and def don’t want to pepper them with questions. Also don’t want to leave them in the lurch with headcount if I bail. Thoughts?? |

| Maybe we're going to the same wedding. Family wedding in September. We're driving about 12 hours and staying in an Airbnb. My small kids are in the outdoor wedding. At this point, we're still going. The participation of our kids may be the only thing that I question going forward. |

| As a vaccinated person I would go, assuming no high-risk people in my household. My kids are too young for vaccinations, but their risk if they get it is low. |

| Personally I have chosen to be cautious and stay masked, not travel, and not pass along the Delta variant. |

| Ha I'm going to one in September too. This wedding was already rescheduled from September 2020, I don't see them cancelling again but they are very understanding of guests who decide not to attend. It's adults only, a mix of indoor/outdoor, and they've asked unvaccinated guests to wear masks (from what I've heard the number of unvax guests is very small, but there are a couple of holdouts in our extended family). Looking forward to it!! |

| I have one in October, in a destination US city. It was rescheduled twice already and I was really looking forward to it - a fun city and cousins I don't see often. Earlier this summer I thought for sure I'd be ok with it, but now that things are changing again I think we are going to decline. 2 kids under 12 at home, and I work with kids. |

| Our daughter is getting married in September and anyone who attends must be vaccinated. We will not ask for proof but we have made it very clear that it is required. A couple of people are upset but I really don’t care. |

2 wedding. Going to have to decline. It's no longer about being vaccinated, we are back to March of 2020 and without boosterz, really no one now is immune.
Super spreader events. |

I have a family member (cousin) getting married in October and I am vaccinated. But if my family pulled that nonsense I wouldn't go out of principal. |

Setting aside COVID, do you want to go? If I wanted to and was in your position I would go. If you are really concerned and finances/childcare allowed you could stay in an AirBNB until 5 days post wedding and take a COVID test at that point. People are getting sicker more quickly with delta, and IIRC the mean time to infection was 3.5 days or so compared to 5-6 previously so you are likely to know sooner (plus the post-wedding gossip if people start testing positive).
If you're meh on going I would pass and blame COVID. |

I would go because I am vaccinated and personally have 4 weddings to attend between now and November.
That said, make your decision now (or by the RSVP deadline). Rude to give a last minute decline especially if you said you were attending. It seems like you don’t want to go so don’t wait on letting them know. |
