Lots of people are, including my best friend. Is it the glycerin? I’m not quite sure and I’m not even sure she knows. She’s allergic to so much stuff including most fragrances. During the worst of pandemic she used it anyway and just dealt with the rash.

Sheesh, is their theme Scamdemic? I'd nope right out of that one.
And how is this MIL able to be out in public right now with hand sanitizer users everywhere? *eyeroll*

Based on the responses I usually see about covid from the peas I’d call myself middle of the road in terms of comfort with things related to covid/activities. I’d be a hard no on this event.

I know lots of hand sanitizer was recalled in Ireland because the formula was wrong. www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-54740988My parents also found their hands getting very itchy after using sanitizer. They washed their hands with soap and avoided going out a lot.

But her allergy doesn't prevent others from using it does it?

I have a friend is allergic to EVERYTHING. She had to go on permanent disability a few years ago becuase no matter where she worked there were just too many things that caused her to go into anaphylaxis. The cleaner the housekeeping service used, other co-workers perfumes, etc. That's a tough life.

Even if I and my whole family was fully vaccinated, I would not go to support such a selfish couple. I know the wedding is about them, but this is sooooooo about them, that they have total disregard for persons at risk. Seriously 350 people?
The pandemic does not disappear just because you want to have a wedding and *some* people are vaccinated. I would not go and I would not send a gift.

Wow, that's a lot of factors.
If it were me and my kids weren't vaccinated, that would be a no for sure.
Now for me personally, all three in my family would be fully vaccinated by then and anticipated being pretty comfortable participating in most things (while still following our states rules/guidelines on safety in public). So I MIGHT go, but only if it's VERY close family/someone extremely close to me. Honestly COVID or not, that does not sound like my idea of fun so I'd only go if I really felt obligated to.

It'd be a nope from me and I am vaccinated. The very most I would do, if it was local to me is attend the ceremony while wearing a mask. No way would I go to the reception with that lack of precautions. And how is the MOB allergic to hand sanitizer? Yeah, I am trying to not get snarky, but discussing this brings out the snark. The MOB is my SIL. She has a "fragrance" allergy and has "lung damage"----yet got covid and no issues. The invites say no fragrances allowed. One of my other SILs (my friend) is decorating (she does it as a side job and why I know a lot of this). She had fake greenery out during their meeting last week and SIL couldn't be in the same room.....yet....this is being held in a backyard of a "master gardener"....they are just going to pray she doesn't have any reactions to the flowers.

I live in MN and am fully vaccinated as of 3 days ago. I would not go it my children were going. I would not want to expose them to potential risks. If the children were not going, I would go. You are vaccinated. That should protect your

If I would have gone before, I would go now. I'm vaccinated and have been exposed more closely than this anyway wearing just a surgical mask, never got infected, so I feel comfortable going to a wedding. I think I still feel weird about people getting close enough to breathe my air without a mask though. I might wear one when sitting close to people, while not eating.
We are seeing very few Covid cases at my hospital these days and I haven't been around any symptomatic known cases in a few weeks at least so I don't feel that I'd be a source of infection. If that changed, I would probably stay home.

I’d take a HARD hard pass on that event. There is no way in hell I would attend a Covid-fest like that after working so hard for over a year to not get it. If I was close to the couple, I would send a nice gift from their registry and a card with my good wishes for their marriage.
From my understanding getting the shot doesn’t necessarily mean you won’t ever get Covid, it just means you likely won’t get AS sick as you would have gotten without it and you very likely won’t be hospitalized or die. Nothing much has been said about long term effects for people who had it but were asymptomatic, and I wouldn’t want to take that chance of finding out the hard way that down the road it causes blood clots or lung problems or whatever.

I am probably more lenient than most Peas but this is a hard no for me. Even if Covid wasn't a problem, this all sounds like a nightmare. If you feel that you must go (and I get it...family pressures are real), then leave the kids somewhere and don't take them.

I could handle most of this (DH and I are fully vaccinated) except the self-serve buffet. Yikes. I could go if they had servers at the buffet and you just tell them what you want, but I could not imagine everyone picking up the serving spoons. That sounds like a super-spreader to me!
Please let us know what you decide.

I’d probably send my regrets
I am attending a wedding mid June - out doors 35 people no indoor ceremony. I & my immediate family will be fully vaxxed by that point.
But 350 people? In a tent with no masks? I’m not ready for that.

I would absolutely say no. No way in HE-double hockey sticks! The covid-variants are running around right now, and this MPR article specifically points out southern MN as a hot spot. www.mprnews.org/story/2021/03/20/latest-on-covid19-in-mnThat is too long inside; and for me I would be thinking about the potential risk to my kids by putting them in that situation. Not to mention the torture of a two hour wedding. I would just nicely say "That situation doesn't work for our family right now."

I'm still stuck on the 2 hour ceremony and then a 1.25 hour drive to the reception? Who planned this wedding anyways? What are the COVID restrictions for MN right now? Who planned it? A self-centered couple, apparently.

Oh, I see your question about the MOB. No, it doesn’t, but maybe if she was shaking lots of sanitized hands it would?

I'm vaccinated, but don't like the sound of this at all! I don't like the sound of the wristbands at all. What is even the point, except to identify you as one of the 'sheep'? I am also uncomfortable with this. I think anyone who is a red will be at home. What are they going to do? Stand off in a corner by themselves? Everyone else will either be wearing a mask or not wearing a mask. That should tell people your comfort level. No need for a sorting process. Weird vibe.

If my immediate family was vaccinated we would probably go. Right now my 25 year old and I are the only ones. If that was the same, probably would not go. I have a 12 year old and my 26 year old son and husband not vaccinated. If we were all vaccinated and money wasn't an option (buying clothes and traveling) we would probably go. I am supposed to go to a wedding in June, but much much smaller... and I am 90% sure we are going. I am waiting to see the invite if there are any covid arrangements being made or discussed. OHHHH almost forgot.. no hand sanitizer.. FORGET we wouldn't be going. Ohhhhh and another thing PORTA POTTIES? nope no way.. I'm out... I can't do Porta Potties... at all.

That sounds like a super spreader event to me. I wouldn't go even if I was vaccinated. And your children would be at risk. I don't know anyplace that is serving anything buffet style these days. All the local health codes around here have banned them for the past year. If you do choose to go, your kids could probably get away without a suit -- button down shirt and tie, nice slacks. Usually kids are cut a break. Ohio opened buffets back up I believe the beginning of this year. A bunch of restaurants are doing Easter Brunch Buffets next week That said, I'm not sure I would participate in any buffet event ever again.

The kind of portapotties with sinks can be pretty fancy! I've seen some really nice ones at upscale events, which it sounds like this would be. They're just like small bathrooms.

Who planned it? A self-centered couple, apparently. While I completely agree whomever planned is is self centered, it may not be the couple. I was allowed to invite 10 of my friends to my own wedding. My parents were paying and therefore they got to invite who they wanted first. So while it could very well be the self centered couple, it could also be someone else involved in the wedding and they're trying to keep the peace by giving in. (or in my case having no other choice. I wanted to get married in the church, if it had been up to DH we would have flown to Vegas and been done with it)

At "expecting 350" I was out.
Way too soon, and potential for a superspreader.
Hard pass.

Is a two hour ceremony typical in a catholic wedding? I’ve never been to one. Personally I probably wouldn’t go just because of the financial burden (travel, formal wear clothes, etc). Add in the pandemic and I’m a nope. I’d say if your doubting it and are trying to justify it to yourself you already know you don’t want/should/need to go. Generally a Catholic Wedding Mass is about an hour. No Mass, just wedding is under 30 minutes. I have directed weddings at my church for the past 15 years.

Yes, usually an hour or a bit more depending on music, vows, etc... This one is adding Greek Orthodox elements too. It says 1.5 hours, but through discussion, it will be closer to two with seating, processional, recessional, etc... So, 2 hours in the church is likely.

I'd send a gift and stay home. This just screams super spreader event!
It also seems like a very selfish event such as MOTB is allergic to hand sanitizer so let's not provide it for the others...

The long drive + ceremony and the color coded arm band thing alone, would be a pass for me.
