My sister had to postpone her August wedding to next year. Shes sad and devastated and also grateful she got all her money back. It is sad though. It’s not about the party but the excitement towards what marriage means and getting to celebrate with your loved ones. Sending you hugs OP

My friend is ending up doing a small ceremony to still "get married" on their original date. And then doing the reception later on during the rescheduled date.

Yes, we considered that but at the end of the day, we’d want at least our parents and siblings there and they’re all spread out. But it definitely will happen if this goes into winter and we need to postpone a second time!

My brother had to postpone his wedding. They haven’t set a new date yet. And there is so much sh*t hitting the fan in our family for other reasons that idk when they’ll be able to do it, at least not the way they wanted to. It is really hard. I think it’s natural to still be upset and challenged to find the energy to get excited about a new date- especially since nobody knows what next month will look like ❤️❤️

I currently have 10% shares in a very small f&b group owns 2 restaurant outlets.

One of them have been hit with covid and we are suffering in sales. Our director somehow don’t believe in marketing and will not budge to allocate resources to hire a personnel. Our staff are underpaid so there are no incentives for them to go beyond their SOW.

What are some of the ways to drive more sales?
