The situation for weddings during the coronavirus pandemic has intensified once again. Nevertheless, many couples are planning to say “I do” next year and are unwilling to wait any longer before embarking on married life together. Here are a few tips for dealing with the coronavirus at weddings.
Venue
- Location: Consider holding parts of the event outdoors or think about where time outdoors can be deliberately incorporated into the day.
- Room size: When choosing the location, it is advisable not to pack people into the space too tightly, so that there is scope for flexibility in the seating plan and other arrangements.
Planning
- Contracts: Talk to your service providers in advance about cancellation conditions and what will happen in the event of things being postponed. Keeping a handle on deadlines will prevent any additional costs from being incurred.
- Support: To ensure you are always up to date on the current situation and can get professional advice, consider engaging a professional wedding planner to help with any rescheduling or cancellation.
- Safety: Even weddings need a concept and professional implementation of the most important current measures on the day. This will allow you as well as your guests to look forward to the wedding with eager anticipation.
Above all, the most important thing is that the current situation should not be allowed to spoil your mood. Be as flexible as you can and try to adapt to the situation. Creative ideas and bold concepts are needed now more than ever.
Guests
- Guest list: Think carefully about who you would like to be there for your big day. A smaller guest list gives you greater flexibility and minimises the risk of cancellation at short notice due to changed conditions.
- Taking care of your guests: Actively address the current situation with your guests and ask for their feelings about it. This is particularly important when it comes to setting the mood for the wedding day itself.
- Communication: Good communication in advance, as well as on the day, helps guests to know what you want them to do and what you may not want them to do. A few creative touches can give your guests clarity and peace of mind on the day, without making anyone feel uncomfortable.
Planning and holding a wedding
- Decor: If you are open to creative ideas, you can have your own beautiful masks made or make a nice-smelling disinfectant in advance. It helps to approach things with a sense of humour in these difficult times.
- Wedding day: A lot can still go awry on the wedding day itself, so it definitely helps to assign exact responsibilities with respect to the coronavirus issue in advance or to hire a wedding planner so that you can relax and enjoy the day to the full.
Above all, the most important thing is that the current situation should not be allowed to spoil your mood. Be as flexible as you can and try to adapt to the situation. Creative ideas and bold concepts are needed now more than ever.
