How do you respond to a super close friend who says they're not making masks mandatory at their June wedding (about 150 guests) because they want to have fun. To be fair, most people are vaccinated but not everyone os going to be vaccinated. I haven't been to any large gatherings in pver a year and even though im vaccinated, i don't think this is safe. Are people are generally careful? I dont think so... am i overthinking this?

If you’re vaccinated, how will it affect you?

likesmartfunny

Yes you are vaccinated. Your odds of getting the virus are low. And even if you did contract it the odds of it being severe are minuscule. It’s hard to get out of the Covid mindset. I’m trying to but it’s strange after living in fear for a year plus!

So wear a mask? There's really nothing else to it.

You can still wear a mask if you choose to. I don’t see the problem here.

I’m planning my wedding for this fall. We’re going mask less but are requesting everyone to be either vaccinated or show proof of a negative Covid test from 72 hours prior.

If you feel uncomfortable going maskless, then I would skip the wedding. I went to a maskless 150 person wedding in March but 95% of the guests were vaccinated and we all got tested on site and the entire wedding party tested negative. We wore masks when not at wedding related events.

I know every situation is different, but we had no issues with that wedding. Of course if anyone wants to wear a mask at my wedding they are more than welcome to, but we will not be mandating masks.

I have 2 more weddings in the next month. Neither of them ask for masks but ask for proof of vaccination or negative Covid test

It is their wedding. I would say if you feel uncomfortable you shouldn’t go. I went to one last Oct and a woman at my table ruined the wedding for the mother of the bride. She wore 3 masks and continued to order the wedding staff around to accommodate her. She even yelled at me and everyone at our table a few times. Made her daughter cry when she pulled up her mask to take answer a question we had. We traveled far to be able to support my friend and her daughter. No one got Covid. Just don’t go. Safety can’t be guaranteed.

I am surprised that OP was comfortable with the risks entailed in getting the vaccine, given there is zero data about the long-term (> 1 yr) effects of high jacking your cells to make foreign spike proteins instead of what they would otherwise have been doing.

You get over it.

Allow people to make their own decision if masks are right for them. If you’re too scared, stay home.

You’re overthinking it. Let them have the wedding the way they want, it isn’t about you.

Mask does it become part of an attire, official, casual . Or should it be a style or a some thing that you wear as a protection ...much like we wear a helmet when you ride a motorcycle or wear eye protection when your welding....

Is this English?

You don’t. You find new friends.

Are we going to the same wedding? I get that it’s probably fine but I wish they were at least mandating tests for unvaccinated guests. I really don’t see the harm in making your guests more comfortable

True! Everyone has the option not to go. But then the couple gets bummed they get a ton of cancellations. Part of hosting an event is considering your guests. You want them to remember the wedding as a good time not an annoying obligation that they wish they had skipped.

You rsvp as not attending. Unless there’s an option to mark “I don’t think this is safe.”
