5. Steps for Holding a Wedding During Covid-19

You need to hold a wedding, but Covid is spreading — what can you do?
Don’t know where to start? Today we’ll walk you through it.


Hello! Given the current Covid-19 outbreak situation, with no clear sign yet of when it will end, many weddings have had to be postponed indefinitely. But if we do need to hold a wedding today or in the next three to four months, how should we prepare? Today, here are some tips from Bang Joke at ArayaweddingPlanner.com.


5. What are the steps for holding a wedding during Covid-19? Let’s take a look.

 
1. Keep it small and as short as possible
For events during this period, we recommend a guest count of no more than 10-20 people,
and keeping it to no more than 2 hours.

Small and few is best during this time.


2. Prepare face masks and alcohol gel for the guests attending, for the safety of
the couple and everyone at the event. Preparing cleaning and protective supplies to offer guests is considered essential.


3. Seat guests a bit further apart and hold the event in a well-ventilated area.
Arrange seating between guests 1-2 meters apart to help prevent the spread of infection.

4. Serve takeaway boxed meals

Skip shared-table dining and instead go with single-plate meals or takeaway boxed meals — an appealing option for this situation.



5. Send blessings online

Even if not every guest can attend in person, well-wishes can still reach the couple.
Use a live stream of the wedding or video calls alongside the event, so everyone feels close even from far away.



Finally, keeping social distance will help us get through this outbreak period faster.
Wishing the couple strength to get through this time together.
