Your wedding day may be part of the many things that have been postponed as communities worldwide are under quarantine to flatten the curve of the COVID-19 pandemic While you can’t say “I do” under the law and in your dream venue, there’s no stopping you from creating virtual wedding celebration on your would-be special day.
The outbreak continues to affect everyone throughout the world and has put a halt to a normal way of life – from businesses, events, and everything in between. It’s a devastating reality for brides and grooms, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t celebrate your love on your original wedding date.
After all, there’s no need to spend the day alone, anxious, and in tears. With that in mind, the tips below should help you celebrate love under lockdown with a virtual wedding celebration:
Tip #1: Practice Your Wedding Dinner and Toast Together with Friends and Family
Who says the fun has to stop because of the worldwide lockdown? While there’s nothing like seeing your loved ones in person, you can still uplift everyone’s spirits and celebrate your love as a couple with friends by practicing your wedding dinner together online.
You can set up a small yet charming table at home and ask your friends to follow a theme based on your guidelines. This allows everyone to create a cohesive look, which adds to the feeling of partying together in one room for a virtual wedding toast,
You can also plan to do a wedding toast trial-run, or have the best man give a speech. Other than eating dinner and laughing at each other’s speeches, you can let loose safely at home by having a virtual cocktail hour. By raising a glass to each other, even with a screen in between each other, you can stay connected, all while practicing social distancing.
Tip #2: Create a Virtual Wedding Postponement Announcement Using Stationery
Planning, designing, and sending out your wedding invitations is one of the most thrilling parts of pre-wedding as it allows you to share your excitement as a couple with your friends and family. Since the lockdown has forced couples to move their wedding dates, why not tweak your wedding announcement by repurposing it into a postponement card?
It can give you another task to keep busy during the day of your original wedding date, plus give others a chance to feel happy even in quarantine. It doesn’t have to be an expensive investment either, as you can adjust the announcement as a couple before blasting it off to your friends and family’s emails!
Tip #3: Bake or Order a Wedding Cake
Cutting the wedding cake as a couple is one of the most iconic moments in any wedding, so one way to celebrate your day together even while you’re at home is to eat cake! You can call your local bakery shop or even spend the afternoon baking your own homemade dessert. While it might not look as grand as you planned for your wedding, continuing the tradition should feel like a much-needed sweet treat for the future bride and groom.
The Bottom Line
Your wedding day may have been postponed, and it may be far from what you dreamed of, but that doesn’t mean you can’t create a meaningful virtual wedding experience at home.
