You are aware of the fact that the outbreak of coronavirus has changed the way weddings were held before. Perhaps you are one of those couples who were scheduled to be married but had to postpone your wedding following the announcement of lockdown.
Now that some relaxation has been announced and the pandemic is showing no signs of abatement, you can consider going ahead with your wedding plans. However, it has to be a simple and intimate setting sans the plush venue, procession, décor, and firecrackers.
Assuming that downsizing your guest list to 30 as per government rules and organizing a lockdown wedding isn’t a cakewalk, here we share some useful tips.
Invite close family and friends
During this unprecedented time, a grand wedding with hundreds of guests is a thing of the past since only 30 guests are allowed. You need to invite close friends and family members which is enough to fill the quota of 30 people.
Invite guests to join virtually
You can invite the rest of the guests to attend your wedding celebrations virtually over zoom so that they understand that you really miss them and would love to have them as well. You can go for live streaming of the wedding function and let your guests know the timings.
Home as venue
Since everyone is supposed to quarantine themselves to prevent getting infected with Covid-19, it is best to stick to your home as your wedding venue. You can use your terrace, lawn or backyard as your wedding venue.
Reduce the time span
Instead of holding all your pre and post-wedding functions for about 3 to 4 days, you should reduce the time span of your wedding and wrap it up in as little time as possible.
Do wedding décor yourself
Instead of outsourcing, it’s a good idea to do the wedding décor yourself with help from friends and family members. You can use seasonal flowers and makeshift materials to decorate the wedding venue and restrict outsiders to enter the venue.
Follow safety guidelines
Nowadays, it is mandatory for everyone to maintain social distancing and use masks, gloves and sanitizers and the same applies to lockdown weddings too. So you must make sure that everyone present in the venue uses masks, gloves and sanitizers.
Even your lockdown wedding can be a memorable experience. So take a chance and move ahead with your wedding plans!
