Review wedding restrictions monthly

Closed 805 signatures

What the petition asks

Weddings are not just a party, they are a huge life event.

Reviewing the guest numbers monthly based on related evidence (spikes caused by receptions etc.) would be a fair way to assess how many can safely attend a wedding reception in the coming months.
Thousands of couples have already postponed. Many more are now considering it. The wedding industry is on its knees. It’s predominantly made up of small businesses, there are no mass redundancies but the potential for thousands to loose their livelihoods.

In addition, couples are being put under tremendous strain both mentally and financially as they battle the continuous uncertainty around this.

More regular reviews based on relevant evidence would be welcomed by all.
