Plan Your Wedding During Covid-19

Does planning your wedding, with the added stress of the corona virus pandemic, seem like a Herculean task? Relax, sit back, plan out in advance, call for expert help when needed. Remember that this is a day you begin a new journey in your life. It is supposed to be enjoyable and memorable, a fun event with your loved ones. Prioritize their health, keep it sober and safe.

The Venue

It is quite possible that your house has ample space for an intimate gathering like this one. Do not go for an indoor wedding in air-conditioned spaces. If your place has a garden or backyard, a rustic ceremony can be carried out there. Ideally, you must opt for a spacious outdoor wedding venue to enable proper sanitization before and after and social distancing.

The Guest List

The number of guests allowed to gather for marriage purposes is limited to 50. Keeping that in mind, try excluding children, the elderly and out-station guests from attending as far as possible. Make a proper list of attendees complete with their contact, address and the place they are traveling from. Their safety and yours are co-dependant, so urge everyone to follow proper hygiene and sanitization procedure and monitor their health.

Take Professional Help

Hire help from experienced persons for catering, wedding decoration, lighting, etc. to ease the process. Enquire about their precautions and procedures they undertake to minimize Covid-19 risks during the preparations and ensure that the materials procured are from reliable vendors and thoroughly sanitized.

Prioritize

The big fat Indian wedding, quite obviously, is an idea that has to be discarded for now. This also means reducing the number of events to only the mandatory ceremonies or clubbing two or more together. Instead of trying to have it all, go for mindful planning. Prioritize with only the important marriage decoration, a skinnier menu, simpler sartorial choices that are manageable, local and seasonal products.

Coordinate & Streamline

Let the preparations follow a step-wise process with only one team at the venue at a time in proper protective gear to avoid crowding. Pre-plan and coordinate between the teams.

Heed The Safety Measures

For before, during and after the wedding, follow the guidelines for cleanliness, order, tracking and monitoring. Avoid any alcohol and tobacco consumption, do not sign up for a pool party and ensure proper waste disposal.
