It?s no secret that many of us are trying our best to social distance these days in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, what does this look like for weddings" Historically, weddings have been a gathering that encourages closeness and togetherness, and for some, social distancing may seem like the absolute opposite of what a wedding should be. If you?re in that boat, don?t worry; there are definitely ways to have a beautiful wedding that incorporates social distancing and still feels as special and enchanting as all weddings should.
1. Create a Condensed Guest List
One way to have a more socially distanced wedding is to have a shorter guest list, which automatically creates a more intimate affair. This helps keep people safer with a more limited guest list. Brides and grooms should consider inviting only individuals who don?t have to travel to their wedding amidst the pandemic in order to keep everyone as healthy as possible. One way to cut down the guest list is to not let guests bring plus-ones unless they?re in a serious relationship. This cuts down on some of the more ?random? guests that you don?t necessarily need to include. Another way to consolidate your guest list is to make it a kids-free wedding. It?s no secret that kids may not be the best at social distancing simply because they don?t understand it, so take away that factor from your wedding while also achieving the goal of having fewer guests, if that will work for you.
