Creative Ways To Have Celebrated Weddings While Keeping Social Distance

Usually, weddings are intimate and are filled with love, kisses, and hugs. And so, person-to-person contact is found in every marriage ceremony.  But this year from the beginning, weddings have changed a lot due to Covid-19 restrictions and social distance. Many couples have postponed their weddings while many have become creative to get married during this pandemic.

If you are one of the couples who don’t want to postpone or change their planned weddings, you need to be ready to make a few changes to maintain social distance. Here are some practical and useful ideas to have celebrated wedding:

Keep Your Guest Count Reduced

The ongoing outbreak of coronavirus is the deadliest pandemic of this century. People can stay safe by following social distancing norms. Having more guests means you have a higher chance of crowd in your wedding. So, you should avoid inviting the elders, sick, and children.

Be Creative In Your Wedding Invitation

This novel coronavirus stays alive for different times on different surfaces. For example, this virus lives for 24 hours on paper or paper-made invitation cards. People will find it hard to sanitize your invitation card before reading it, and sanitization can damage the colour, shape, or the overall look of your wedding invitation card.

Instead of paper-made invitation cards, you can opt for alternatives such as sending water bottles as your wedding invitation. Before you move ahead in this, you should get custom water bottle labels for wedding. These labels will have yours and your spouse name with wedding date and brief venue details. Your invitees can easily sanitize water bottles after receiving the same from you.

Opt For Street Wedding

Due to the worst condition of the coronavirus spread in the USA, your local authority may not allow you to organize a big event for your wedding. As you want to get married and have a grand wedding, you can choose a street for your big day. Send virtual invitations to the people of that street and request them to be present in your wedding through their balconies or windows so that you can maintain a safe social distance.

Select A Big Open Space

You must choose a big open space if you want people to be physically present in your marriage ceremony. A big open space will facilitate you to make seating arrangements with a focus on the safe social distance. At the entrance of your chosen wedding venue, you can place chairs at a proper distance with persons’ names. Hang/install wedding seating charts and guide your guests where and how they should sit to attend your marriage ceremony.

Make Your Wedding Ceremony Live

Any small mistake can lead you and your guests to have Covid-19 infection. To keep all your close ones protected from the potential threat, you can request the elders, sick, and children to stay at their home and watch your marriage ceremony on their TV, computer screen, or smartphones. For this, you can use Google Hangout, Zoom, Skype, or even Whatsapp.

Get Married In Your Living Room In The Presence Of A Few Close Friends

In the ongoing situation, you need to keep yourselves, your family members, friends, and relatives safe. You can select your living room as your wedding venue. Invite one to three friends for your wedding and make all the events live using virtual platforms such as Zoom, Google Hangout, and Skype.

Have A Wedding Parade

You can invite as many people as you want to be present at your wedding. But, you have to request them to use personal cars to attend your marriage ceremony. Ask them to be in their cars and watch the ceremony from there. By this, all your guests will easily follow social distance and stay safe from the probable risk.

Keep Your Wedding Event Short

In the execution of a few marriage rituals, both of you have to be close to the priest and a few close family members. Being close to any person is risky. So, you can request the priest and other concerned persons to keep the event as short as possible. Shorter events mean lower chances of having risks.

Maintain Hygiene In Everything

To maintain hygiene and safety at your wedding, make all the associated things such as hand sanitizer, personalized water bottles, and facemasks available. By hanging the respective signs, you can guide your guests where to stand and what to do to stay safe from the probable risk at your wedding.

Conclusion

Getting married with your loving partner in the current situation is a risky job. However, by being creative, you can move ahead with your planned wedding. Your creative ideas can help you get married and keep your guests safe in the era of social distancing. The ideas mentioned above might be helpful for your wedding.
